• 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.

What I did was install the Ron bar and links, repaint the underside and lower right front that was scraped up, install Spyderpops bump skid, and wire up Amber LED lights along the drivers floorboards.
Solid Orange wire is keyed on power, do not use Orange with a stripe as you may find the extra load will turn on your fans :opps:

A very good start to the new year :ohyea:
 
I've got you all beat!!!! Went to work and then and this is the kicker...looked at how many days the spyder has been in the shop with no call back!!!nojoke:banghead: but a great first day of 2015
 
Went for a short ride in 13 degrees. Then installed the flag holders on the back of my 14 rt. By then I was frozen and had to go in. What a fun day.
 
Slept pretty late (youngest granddaughter asked me to pick her up from a party at 3am), watched the Rose Parade with my wife and daughter, watched football the rest of the day. Pretty much veged.
 
I went for about a 50 mile ride, and then got back home to help the wife with a dinner for my daughter, son-in-law, and 4 grandkids. We also have my youngest daughter and her roommate home from college. Had a great time with the family.
 
Got off work 7am. The hubby (Tobor 9) and I joined 64 other people on their bikes and had our 6th. Annual Polar Bear Ride. We left the house about 8:30am and got home about 2:30pm. Rode about 80 miles and had lunch. After we got home made a pot of coffee and napped in our chairs until about 6pm. Pretty much veged out the rest of the night.
 
Solo

Took a nice solo (too cold for the bride) 116 mile ride around Lake Tillery. Fun roads, no traffic, can't beat that. Grilled a couple of filets and watched the Ducks clobber the Semiholes.
 
Long drive

My husband and I (and Yorkie JD) finished our 20 hour drive to the Gulf Coast and Padre Island for a month's stay in Texas. Having both just retired, this is our treat! Our first winter vacation. Unfortunately, all 13 motorcycles are at home in cold Illinois!
 
No Riding Yet

The knee isn't healed enough yet from my December 11th surgery to do any riding. Besides it's too cold anyhow!! Except for a short dog walk I pretty much stayed in the house all day, watched the Rose Parade and the NHL Winter Classic. I did listen to the Sugar Bowl on the radio, GO BUCKS!! Too bad our Toledo TV stations are all Michigan fans and didn't broadcast the game.
 
Hot Rods was closed

The temperature was about 57 degrees so we bundled up and took several back roads before ending up in Social Circle, Ga (named because of the well in the middle of town that folks used to gather around to socialize... kinda like a 19th century Facebook).

Or favorite eating spot called Hot Rods featuring fifties music and food (they make real ice cream sodas... not floats but sodas) was closed. Not too good on a holiday. There were about twenty motorcycles in the parking lot with everyone looking hungry.

Headed back north and found another place in Monroe, Ga called the Cotton Cafe. Nice relaxing place with good food.

The headed westward into the setting sun towards home.
 
Very cool day here so I took the wife for a ride in the car over to Pahrump NV for lunch at Mom's Diner (nice place, good portions, good prices). :)
 
Helping out...

stayed home with my 92 year old mother hoping she gets a little of the new year idea. She smiled a lot and thats good enough will stay with her for a week till the caretaker gets back and helps out. Sure wish I kenw whats going on in her mind cause facial expressions is all thats left. Good start to the new year....:clap:
 
Ryding

I went on a 60 mile New Years Day run with 70 bikes and 1 trike (me). Was cold but a good time.
