• 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 did you do to your Spyder today?

I looked into adding an aux tank and even purchased one for the RT, but we decided a Canyon is in the future, so I'll save the efforts for that machine.

I have a Camel tank on my Super Adventure 1290R and it vaccumes from the main tank vent too. I've only had an issue one time where the pressure/heat/elevation in the main tank increased faster than the fuel was used and the aux tank didn't empty right away. Simply pop the main tanks cap, and restart the vacuum building process.
Yep, that can happen but thankfully not often.
 
Rode from Lake Stevens, Wa to Edmonds Ferry then to Port Angeles where I grew up, looking at the homes the family had lived in. Then on to Port Townsend, touring around town waiting for a ferry to Coupeville. Crossed the Deception Pass Bridge and down to Stanwood for pizza at Jimmy's, then on back to Lake Stevens. 233 miles and two ferries. Left at 8 this morning and got back at 7:30 this evening.

Took a picture of my grandparent's home in Port Angeles, where I spent a lot of time as a kid in the 1950's, as we lived a few houses away.

It is now the "Captain Joesph House", a retreat for Gold Star families.

Port Angeles, I liked it there the few times I visited. The winters were mild, as were the summers. My X wife's aunt and uncle lived there. He was a crusty ol' fart, but for some reason, he liked me. He was a fisherman. He knew where to catch the fish. They owned a camp ground that was adjacent to Olympia Nat'l Park. Great time there.
 
Picked up a new/spare key for the bike and will have it "cut" to the bike tomorrow and then programmed @ dealer.

Updated bike's Connect to 4.1 and restarted the system a couple times and checked/changed a few settings.

All is good!
 
Fortuna is all right. Home to the "Lost coast" and CC Radio...
I spent my last year and a half in the USCG at the Loran Station at Point Arena (1967-68), so I was up down the coast a lot. May 2024 I did Highway 1 North of San Francisco to 101 and on up through Oregon on 101 on the bucket list repositioning ride on the Hooker from AZ to WA. Aways wondered about the Lost Coast. Highway 1 from the Coast to 101 at Leggett has to be one of the most curvy roads of all time.
