• 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?

Looked at the Washington Spyder sitting under it's cover and promised it at least one more ride before putting away and heading to Arizona for the winter to play with it's twin. I believe they are not considered identical twins as the Arizona one started life as a dark model (and has gone through some chrome conversion changes) and the Washington one was born as a chrome model. Based on color, they are both male. The Champaign one I had was female for sure.
 
First Friday back from my trip, so a quick run to the Rock Store for lunch, then head to the beach and Neptune's Net for desert and some reading. Good to see the staff and regulars again and catch up with what I missed while I was gone.

Rode to Sleeping Bear Dunes in Northwest Michigan yesterday.
Also used BRP Go for navigation along with the Garmin for a backup. BRP Go worked perfectly for the first time ever with waypoints from A-P. About 80 miles of riding the back roads with multiple turns.

I think I have found that if I open the BRP GO app and start the ride, then connect my phone via the USB cable, then start the Spyder, it seems to connect and stay connected consistently.

But if I start the Spyder first, then connect my phone, it seems to be hit or miss at staying connected all the time.

Looks like a nice ride.

Haven't been to the rock store in years! Love riding in the Santa Monica Mountains. Love Deer Creek & Little Sycamore Canyon!

Man I really miss Neptune's Net. Used to ride down there for lunch when I was stationed at NAS Pt Mugu in the mid 80's.
