• 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.

Sounds like spyder ryders should have some extra gas in the frunk. Don't know if that second stop has gas or not, and those scooters get a little better mpg's then spyders....
 
I think that the Saturday 90 miler is well within our range. There's lots of gas stations within rock-throwing distance of the Motel anyway...
I've passed this along to a couple of local Spyders and we'll see if we can infiltrate and overwhelm them...

There is gas in White Lake, just 3 miles down the road from Yasgurs Farm [the real woodstock]
My hunting club is only 5 miles from Bethel Woods as the 45/70 flys, ;)
 
I wish I could go, I used to live is Shokan, NY beautiful area, I hope you all have a great time and ride safe :clap::thumbup:
 
SHOKAN??? When did you live out there? You might have known my Uncle Lee... He was the Town Supervisor over there for quite a while...
 
Whats a scotters top speed? I'm not a speed freek, but it wouldn't be very fun runnin in 3rd gear all day..

Filling stations aren't the issue up here... Although finding one where the guy at the register speaks English... :gaah:nojoke
 
I'd have tothink that the SilverWing has more motorcycle DNA than the typical little "tooter". A friend of mine just got one of Yamaha's 500cc scooters, and he SWEARS that it'll crack the ton. :shocked:

I can believe that, My Rhino on black top will do 50/55 mph [not corrected]
 
There is one more you are all forgetting about that I have hit over 100 mph many many times, a Suzuki Burgman 650.
