• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

SpyderLovers Banner Run!

Banner route continued

If I am not able to hand off the banner to daddydarko this weekend I am considering taking the banner as far as Butler, PA on Sat. May 2nd. Along the way, I would love to have some Ohio Spyderlovers get together for a signing. I am thinking somewhere off I-80 south of Cleveland. From there I would continue on to Butler PA and drop the banner off to MSGTDOC if he is willing. He then can take the banner to Rollingthunder. Leaving Rolling Thunder try to get the banner to IrishtotheMax. He can take it back to WV. I will make arrangements to meet him and pick up the banner from him somewhere. When we leave for LA we will be going through IN, IL and MO on our way to meet Lamont in OK. How does this sound to everyone?

I just received a message from daddydarko (James) I am going to be getting the banner to him before he leaves for Rolling Thunder. I would have loved to gone to OH & PA but this makes so much more sense as he will already be traveling that way. I am sure he will meet many of you along the way or at the event. Still hoping to get it to IrishtotheMax for the return though.
 
Niagara: Introduction

OK, I know you all are already planning the next leg of the banner run, but while we dry off and warm up and compose the story, here're some photos of this past weekend.

Thanks loads to Deb for already naming everybody in her video!

We will post in another thread about how Ev and Pat of No Magic Neon saved our sanity and added greatly to the safety and comfort of our trip. Such kind and generous people (let alone business people) we are very fortunate to know.

We left from MA and met them in NY for the No Magic Neon Banner Sendoff Breakfast (OK, lunch, by the time our Garmin figured out that roads around Schenectady had changed since 2006)

Of course, Ev and Pat arrive in style in another of their reverse trikes (SunTrike):

Pat and Barb. What's Pat doing? Well, I had sent a message to Ev and Pat last week to inquire about C.H.A.D. windshields, and to say I'd order one after our Niagara trip. Ev drives up and Pat is holding a C.H.A.D. shield, and they say we can't go 700 miles with our little shield. They were right. Rain and wind the entire trip home from Canada.

Pat unwraps the new C.H.A.D. and wraps up our old shield:

Yeah, Ev brought tools to the diner to install the new shield. Oh, yeah--and they stowed our old shield in their SunTrike 'cause they new our trunk and luggage was stuffed:

Me getting in the way, and telling Ev and Pat they are too good:

Pat and Ev, and Barb with The Banner (and Sharpie):

Thank you, Magic Man and Mrs. Magic!

We love 'em!

That's the "Scooter Car." It's our warm weather run-around vehicle. We were going to take it to the gym the other morning, but the temp was only 40 -- too brisk for me at 6 a.m. It'll be good in another month or so.

Hey I'm a "little guy" give me a break. LOL :shocked:

It's way more fun to drive than a car, and it gets a real 70 mpg I have checked it several times.

Sharpies are fun! When someone passes out, you write all over his/her face. It won't come off for days.:clap:

The Banner made it to Hell and back

Okay here is a quick photo of the SpyderLovers Banner in Hell, MI. Our volunteer photographer wasn't the best this time but this is what I have for now. I will post video of the signing later tonight.

You may have to squint to see everyone but here they are left to right:
Dan (ksin's husband) Rando (Randy), Mr K (Tom), ksin (Karen), Mrs BRPJunkie (Nancy), BRP Junkie (Mike), me (dltang), bjt (Brian)

P.S. The sharpie is just fine
