What did you do to your Spyder today?

Washed 7001 miles of bugs and road grime off?

Wife and I rode the entire route 66 west to east, rounded the corner at the Mackinaw bridge, and headed back west though the northern states.

Took my Spyder for a ride before the thunderstorms arrived.

Ran into a construction zone on one of the roads where they only had one lane open, and had flaggers controlling the flow of traffic.
I had to stop and wait, and while I was sitting there the flagger told me I had a nice bike. I thanked him.

Then I decided to stop and pick up some lunch, and while I was gearing up after stowing my lunch in the top case, another customer came out of the restaurant and told me she really liked my motorcycle. I also thanked her.

Then going back through the construction zone, the same flagger got a big smile on his face when he saw me, and took one hand off of the stop/slow pole to wave at me. I nodded back as I rode past him.

I drove 81 miles and was gone for an hour and 45 minutes.

Nothing earth shattering. I write to express gratitude for this forum. I finally got the bike back together. It's running fine.
But. (You knew that was coming, right?)
Yesterday the check engine light came on. Never seen it before. Bike was running well.
Went home, a few miles' travel. No codes. Read the manual. No help.
Came to the forum and did a search and found a number of threads on the ambiguous meaning of the check engine light.
One meaning was repeated: Battery.
I plugged in the smart battery maintainer. Turned the ignition. No check engine light. Unplugged the charger. Check engine line ON.
Thanks to all who contribute ideas and wisdom and knowledge to this board.

Mounted an aux tank. Connection it and test tomorrow.
