• 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's on your must-pack list for SpyderFest?

Today, I thought about setting aside those things I must remember to pack - besides the normal clothes, toiletries stuff - for SpyderFest.

For instance I want to include rain gear, which I would normally bring, but forgot to bring last year. Ugh!! Not this year, for sure.

I also thought about bringing something to pass along to others like business cards..

So then, What are your must-remember-to-bring items?

Do you all pack "rags and cleaning fluid" as a standard items, too??

some type of "base layer " clothing since it could easily be in the 40s in the evenings based on current weather & warm gloves

Most touring riders store their raingear in their saddlebags all the time. Then they are never caught without. :)
 
This year, since the weather has been so flakey, and since we're trailering the RT down with all the other stuff we're bringing, the heated gear is coming along, and our folding rocking camp chairs for the parking lot after-hours meet & greets!!

You are SO right about that. When I forgot it and it rained, my rain gear was actually IN the hotel from that morning. For whatever reason, I had unloaded my frunk stuff and left it. I'LL not do that again. LOL

I always keep a California Car Duster, and a packet of Lemon Pledge Wipes in my rear trunk, as well as some microfiber cloths. That being said, I seldom clean anything but my windsheild while I am on the road, unless it is necessary due to a grease or mud bath, or a lot of dust. I do that just to avoid scratching the paint when I put on the cover.
 
Don't forget the Monkey Butt powder...or Gold Bond, yellow bottle, Not The Green One!!!! DON'T USE THE GREEN ONE!!!
 
Heehee!! Gold bond, yellow bottle. I guess you had some experience with the Green one~~~


Fifteen Minutes of wishing I could DIE....Very Quickly.....Water has no effect...FIFTEEN MINUTES And it's over......Water boarding ain't got nothing on THE GREEN BOTTLE.....
 
Tools, tire plugs and pump in rear trunk. clothing in pack pack strapped to my rack on top of rear trunk.

Now for the important cargo... 12 pack in each side box and 30 pack in frunk:doorag:
