• 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.

Now thats funny !!! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
 
We had a pretty decent day here not too cold and mostly sunny but I leave tomorrow for Las Vegas and another house hunting trip. I miss my Spyder it has been 2 weeks since I left it out there and I am excited to ride it again. We sold our snow blower, riding mower, rakes and snow shovels so I hope the snow holds off until we leave here for good. I'll be thinking about all of you stuck in the snow whle I'm out riding.

Good luck house hunting. I would like to ryde all yr, but to be honest, I like the 4 seasons. Dont think I would like nice weather all yr long.
Of course when it snows I make $$, so Let it snow...:thumbup:
 
Whether I like it or not, I'm in for the forseeable future.
I've got no power in my house.
I'm online by virtue of the batteries in my laptop and the UPS in the basement, but when they die, I wont be able to get online, not even for my Spyderlovers Fix.
Oh, the pain.....................
 
Hope everyone is staying safe out there;here in "Winterpeg" no white stuff yet,will be on the road for as long as possible.:thumbup:
 
43 and rainy here with gusting winds!!! :yikes: 'Tis a wee bit chilly out there with all that going on. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and 52. The temps take a dive every day after that. Me thinks the cold weather is here to stay..... :(

On the up side, I LOVE SNOW!!! I'll leave the Jeep in 2 wheel drive for the heck of it, speed down my street, and slam on the brakes!!!! :thumbup: Hey!!! I'm a big kid and the Jeep is my "sled" in the winter!!! :D
 
Sorry guys, I live in S. Florida and have only seen snow once, 20 years ago in NYC, It's 80 here now. Back to the salt question, I use a product called salt-X on my boat trailer and truck undercarriage, it's a salt neutralizer, and comes in a gallon jug. It is made to be diluted and put in a spray bottle or pump sprayer.

Oh I don't worry too much about the snow... It just cuts into my motorcycling time!:cus: But since I just managed to screw that all up on my own this year...:gaah:
Yesterday morning we had to tkae the Jeep in for and oil change and were home well before any of the weather got started.:thumbup: But I AM going to have to wash it off after a trip out last night to a Firemens' Dinner (Our local Department celebrated 65 years of service!) The poer blinked a few times and we ended up with a mere four inches of snow.. Not even enough to break out the snowblower for! :2thumbs:

Farewell Spyder and Vulcan

We got our first covering snow Satruday night. Since I live on a rural road--its probably not going to show pavement now until March.

Ours was no where like you folks out east experienced. I can wait a bit for snow like that to come. I hope you all get through the electrical emergencies all right.

Spyder and Vulcan are now parked in "winter mode" in my garage--and will probably not get ridden until snow melt in early March. Put the gear up on the shelves and will attach the battery tenders before the weekend.

Same end of rides date as last year.
 
It has started getting a bit chilly here in SC as well. Went for a ryde last night and it was 57 degrees. :yikes: :roflblack:
 
Went for a "cool" ryde yesterday

Donna(Redrose), Don(Syderman990) and my wife and I went to Binghams resturant in Lennox, Pa. yesterday for lunch and Pie!:thumbup: It was a real cool start, when Don left his house it was only 22 degs. and when Don got to our house it was a balmy 33 degs. It was unlike a nice summer ryde but we were all dressed for the cold and everyone was comfortable and it was a "cool" ryde. We had sunshine all day and on the way back we took several detours to extend the ryde. When we got back to our place we all piled into our car and went to Groton, NY for another turkey supper where we all over ate again. Don must have put like 280 miles on his Spyder, we went about 180 miles, and Donna went about 140 miles and was one the longest rydes she had been on and the first time out of state on her Spyder and really loved. In fact she had such a good time she is going to participate with us today in Ithaca at the PGR veterans parade ryding our Spyders.:clap:
