• 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 got a new helmet last week, the JCM was too old.
My choice fell on an LS2 FF910 Advant II. I also took a ride to find a dealer who has a new battery for my RT, but due to Easter, the shop had closed 10 minutes before I arrived! :ROFLMAO:
 
Rode it for the first time. Finally got all the paperwork thru DMV and temp was in the 50's. Put the plate on and drove all around town. Sort of putted around getting used to it. Adjusted the mirrors, set the clock and the trip meter and stopped for fuel. Found it will get up to speed in a big hurry if you twist the thingy on the right. Love it so far.
 
Rode the RTL on a field trip with my youngest granddaughter's 1st grade class. It was just to a small zoo out in the country, but it was pretty nice and had a larger assortment of animals than I expected. She was excited and I was too. Riding the bike made me the coolest grandparent there (Lol!). Today I will be washing and doing a general check of the F3L in preparation for our first long day trip of the season. 530 miles to the Back of the Dragon, Shady Valley, and Backbone Rock.
 
I took the Route 129 windshield off& and put the gauge spoiler on until next Winter. Then I went for a ride. Today, I went for another ride locally. Beautiful Wx here.
It's going to be a great Easter and Easter egg hunt at my Daughter's place, and will be the 1st one for us as Grandparents.
Cheers.
 
Yesterday, I took a very spirited ride on the Avenue of the Giants.
I'm a far cry from how I 1st rode this Spyder home, June of 2023. I've got 16,140 miles on it now, and I purposely take corners fast. Always testing my skills, and as such, I haven't found the limits of the F3S yet.
I really like going through the traffic circles (called roundabouts or Rotary in Massachusetts) when no other vehicles are present. The F3s feels like it's on rails!

There's a roundabout 10 miles outside of my town, l love going on it. l've only gotten to ride twice this Spring because of this crappy weather. l have so many adventures planned, the weather just needs to cooperate. This probably sounds stupid, but when l get on my Spyder, l lose myself. l love getting out on a ride. My neighbors always ask me where l'm going when l get ready for a ride, l tell them not sure yet. It's not the destination, it's the ride! Ya gotta be a rider to understand that.

You got it. 100%
 
Added highway pegs and I think I have them dialed in. I'll put a few miles on it tomorrow to confirm. Making sure everything is working as I'm planning a shakedown SS1000 on Thursday. Los Angeles to Organ Stop Pizza in Scottsdale, AZ, and then back by way of Flagstaff. Should give me about 1072 miles.

I find the cornering limit of the F3s pretty easily. It's when the inside tire is off the ground. 🤣
