• 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.

This is a great road here in NC. It was pretty breezy and a little cool on the Parkway yesterday, but it was well worth it.

:clap: That looks like a real nice place to log seat-time! :thumbup: I was thinking the same thing about that "cage" when up popped your captioning! :roflblack:
Did "Nanny" kick in 2, or 3 times? That was the first time I ever heard it get in the way and I thought that I might have heard something down just before "Blind Kenny" too? :shocked:
Now you've made me want to head South for another great road... :D

Oh! what exhaust system are you running? It sounded great coming out of the corners...
 
Nice video and the ride looked awlsome! Charlotte's a great looking :spyder2:

what type of camera were you using? -- good video!!
 
Looks like a really nice ride. Did you have your camera on your helmet?

It was a nice ride. Yep, the GoPro was helmet mounted.

The cager didn't stand a chance - was really odd that he actually sped up when I passed him. Nanny kicked in a few times - just before Blind Kenny and again almost immediately after them. Charlotte is all stock - I haven't added better shocks or a sway bar, but those are definitely the next mods. The exhaust is a hindle - thanks.

Many thanks. The camera is a GoPro Hero.

Great video. Tell us more about the "Nanny" issues and the camera used. :clap: :2thumbs:

Thanks. It could be some of my riding and some of the stock suspension on Charlotte, but Nanny kicked in a few times. I didn't raise a wheel up at any time and I'm a fairly mobile and active rider, but Nanny didn't like the serious switchbacks. Shocks and sway bar are the next investments.
 
Some pretty spirited ryding there!!! Looks like tons of fun!!

I thought that exhaust sounded familiar. I have the Hindle too.

I'm all stock for performance too. But sway bar getting put on this servicing. RT shocks may be next. I do most of my ryding two up. I'm not as spirited a ryder as you. So mostly the upgrades are handling issues because of more weight on the Spyder.

Looks like you had a blast!! That's some really beautiful territory!! Just beautiful!!
 
Hey man! Nice run. Can you post a google map with start and end point?

Thanks. It's easy to get to. Exit 86 off of I40 West would probably be the quickest for you. 80 intersects with Hwy 70 in Marion and runs up the mountain to the BRP (mile marker 344). If you go north on the Parkway there until you get to mile marker 334, you can get off the Parkway at Little Switzerland (a good place to stop for food and drink) and come back down the mountain via 226A (the Diamondback) - another awesome road.
 
:bowdown:Great ryde and beautiful scenery, I envy you.:2thumbs:

Thanks. I have seen a lot of beautiful places, but I have always wanted to come back to NC.

did the editing software not let you put it up in HD? or is it a early version of the gocam. cool video, the aftermarket shocks and swaybar are a must for exit speed on twisties.

No, I can upload in HD, but it just takes much too long to do so to youtube. Thanks. Yep - can't wait to get the shocks and swaybar.
