I know it is winter but there hasn't been any activity on this forum since the 5th. Isn't somebody doing something interesting that is Ryker related?

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.
Where is everybody?

Winter usually slows down posting. Here in Iowa we are about 2-3 months from riding season. With all the rallies that were cancelled last year and the uncertainty for this year still happening, I think there is just less to discuss, until we can start planning trips for the summer. All of my travel plans are on hold until the pandemic situation becomes clearer for the summer. Hoping to do some traveling on the Spyder this summer..

We are having a really (unusual for East Texas) snow shower today. It will likely be gone tomorrow and the forecast is for the 60's here by mid-week. I'm itching to try out my new rear tire.
I'm not sure where in AZ you are Jeff but my daughter and her family are in Camp Verde and it is 54 there.

Yes, the last week has been very slow. Some bad things happening all over. Glad we have our Spyders, and this group of friends to talk with.

Sunday was first ride of the New Year. Temp 46 deg but I could not pass up the chance for some clear sky and sun.

I lurk on the forums each day, and make sure to visit the Ryker in the garage each day as well. But soon the spring is here, as soon as it is warmer than 5C / 41F and no snow/ice on the roads I will bring her back out 
Once the cold climate ryker riders are out of hibernation Im sure this forum section activity will pick up again.

I was out for a few short rides over the weekend. I was able to put about 100 miles on the Spyder total. The temp hit an unseasonably high for NE Ohio of 39! Tomorrow and Thursday is calling for a high of 43. Might have to break out the shorts. 
Cool, I am in the northwest suburbs of PHX. I have passed thru the centrally located burg of Camp Verde hundreds of times. The next 5 days here are going to be in the 75 to 79 degree range, so I will definitely be taking advantage of that

Hey Krafcik, I responded to your PM and welcome to the forum. I guess I spend more time on this forum when the weather is bad. When the weather is good I leave my computer home.
Took a 60 mile ryde two days ago to the northern reaches of the Valley of the Sun. Temp was lower 60s. AZ got a good amount of snow last week, you can see some remnants of it on the mountains behind my Ryker. This is as close as I care to be to snow, unless I am skiing on it :thumbup:

Tomorrow the SPYDER/RYKERS Riders of Lane County Oregon will be doing a 200+ mile ride in lieu of “watching the game”. Route from Eugene to Florence (on the coast) to Waldport (on the coast) to Corvallis back to Eugene. Lots of twisty roads with nice scenery. Pictures to follow.

I fully agree. Super bowl day means the roads are relatively clear (at least early in the game). I usually try to take advantage of that.

I'm at home relaxing in my Igloo....ha! I agree the roads are always less traveled on game day. But ya gotta watch for those pregame/half time beer and snack runners.

Guess I'm just lucky when it comes to traffic. I live in a rural area and ride mostly on dirt back roads so it's nothing for me to go on a 2 hour ride on any given day and never see a car. My biggest concern is getting too far back on a dirt road (where I haven't seen any sign of civilization in 30 minutes) and worrying about a breakdown or getting stuck and somebody getting back there to get me out! Hasn't happened yet but still in the back of my mind. Oh well, just makes it more of an adventure. Have fun and enjoy the day.
