:spyder2:
George, Teddy didn't get a regular 2011 RT-S, he got a Limited (#1 out of 6) Edition SpYderFEST version RT-S SE5 in Viper Red made by Len & the other Great Folks at Cowtown USA in Cuba MO, Home of the 2011 SpYderFEST!!! On these Limited Edition SpYderFEST Spyder's, they all started as RT-S bases and then they added choice After Market Upgrades from SpyderLovers Vendors. One of those upgrades, were the Elka Shocks. From my understanding, the 2011 upgraded STOCK OEM Shocks, are much improved from the 2010. Ive no experience with them, so I can't coment, sorry. All I can say, is that TEDDY LOVES HIS ELKA's :thumbup: (Thanks Len:bowdown:)My guess, the 2011's should be fine for most. But Teddy, You know he warrants the BEST :2thumbs: and we're REALLY LOVING HIS New 2011 :spyder2:
We got the Camper out today and are going thru (with the help of my best friend & Scotty's directions:thumbup:) the arguous process of adding running/drive lights to the Moto-Mate Camper, adding the Garmin GPS to the dash, disconnected the analogue gauges so they show up on the LCD, I like it much better that way.
4/25/11*61F*ThunderStorms*Still rode in this morning
:gaah: To excited to sleep last night. Bone tired from a 3 day weekend of non-stop painting, and most the day yesterday was spent try'n to make what I got work with what I have & what I need/want:opps: when it comes to TEDDYS New :spyder2: & Moto-Mate Camper:thumbup:
If you look thru my new pics of Teds Red Sled, you will notice a nice set of ESI Scuff Guards/Highway pegs. The nice black & silver ones that fit right over the lower wind deflectors on the RT :spyder: Before I knew about Teddy going behind my back & ordering his new :spyder2:, I had ordered a set of these for TEDDYS 2010 RT-S and I still have them sitting in a bag back home. Teds new Red Sled came with this mod already on it, so they are an extra set that I don't need anymore. If someone wants them for $75, I can bring them with us to SpYderFest & we can exchange there. Anyone interested?:dontknow:
4/27/11*67F*Just made it to Cuba & LadyBug around MidNight
Here we are, about to get some rest for all the action start'n in the morning. Y'all that are here in the SpYderHood, don't be strangers, Teddy'd love to meet ya's :thumbup: especially if you got food :2thumbs::roflblack:

4/27/11*Enjoy'n SpYderFest
WOW!!! What a day. Is it just me, or does it seem that time just flies by when yur have'n a good time with good ppl? We woke up around 9 this morning & I called Len at CowTown to see what time he needed Teds new SpYderFest Limited EdDition:roflblack: Viper Red RT-S there so they could finish put'n on the mods, & he said, come on down, you gotta see this, there's over 50 Spyders out front right now, so c'mon down & join the party :2thumbs: He wasn't joking, it was the most SpYders in one place that I've ever see'n :clap:
They had Teds Red Sled in & out in less than an hour:clap: & I know I'm going to love the new Utopia backrest :2thumbs: Teddy spent the day shmooz'n with his fans all day, Pose'n for pics, be'n a ham & beg'n for food. He got BBQ ribs & pizza while at CowTown & all that was before dinner.
At 6 pm, we all met up at the Audiotorium for the Kickoff Festivities of SpYderFest, meet n greet, thank you's & a nice dinner. Teddy was even allowed in & he got a nice plate full of meatballs & chicken along with whatever else ppl were sneak'n him:roflblack: Really great to actually meet so many of the ppl we follow along with on here, just such a great group of ppl :2thumbs:
We're back at camp now, ready for some Shut eye. The weather seems to have finally broke now & hopefully the next few days will be great for some good Ryde'n :2thumbs:

SpYderFest*Not sure what day, but it was awesome!
We missed breakfast, but did make the Devils Elbow Ryde :2thumbs: so much, so good, more later. Gotta recoup for tomorrow :ohyea:
SpYderFest on hold, Teddy at the Vet
Well, after the Devils Elbow Ryde yesterday, we went to Vender village for SpyderPops to add some mods to Teds Red Sled, then we went to get a few more passport runs done. At the last restaurant by the highway that just about everyone was missing, he was so tired, he half jumped & came down on his leg wrong & after a night in pain & me try'n to massage it back in place, here we sit. Those of you with small dogs are probably familiar with a Luxating Patella, which Teddy has had since birth. Just means the tendon of his leg has a tendency to "pop" out of it's socket causing pain and gimpiness til it's "popped" back into place. I can usually do it myself, but not this time. So the only place we could get in to now was in Sullivan MO about 30 miles outside of Cuba. We'll see if the vet can do the trick. If not, we'll drug Tedster up enough to help with pain, & we'll be head'n home to his own vet. We'll keep you all updated as soon as we know what's up.
