Didn't see a new members intro forum, (point me to one if I am just missing it) and just got to be able to register here after lurking for a month. We got an RT Limited about a month ago. Already have a bunch of mods because, well "Thy ride shall not mimic another's". Even have a name for it. Gloria didn't like "Boris" (Who fans will most likely get that reference.) but she did wholly endorse "Itsy Bitsy". All is in my profile, this is just a note to say "Hi, glad to be here."
Congrats!
I hope you and your bride have many miles of smiles on it.
Boris Badinenif would have been a great name!
Welcome to the spyder world and this awesome site. Congrats on the new Ryde :clap:Glad to have you jump in ... enjoy the miles of smiles and being a rock star..:thumbup:
Hey! I know where St. Bonifacius is, even been to Grumpys a time or two. Family lived in Warroad when I was very young, and I grew up in Farmington, south of the Cities.Quote:

Gloria didn't approve, claiming it was some of my "weird music", and being written by the Who bassist John Entwhistle she was correct. But she did like Itsy Bitsy from the old children's song "The Itsy Bitsy Spider". I have also heard the same song as "The Teencey Weencey (or Teeney Weeney) Spider". Must be regional variations, I know about them being an expatriate Minnesotan, just as I know the correct version of the game is "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck."
wait what ! not duck duck goose ?
what year limited did you end up with ? I probably missed it ! hope you get a few days of riding in with the on set of cool ( o.k. dang cold weather )

Welcome to the most fun on 3 wheels.
No new members forum, you just start out swimming in the deep end!
I too thought of Boris and Natasha!
:agree: Welcome to the Spyder Forum :thumbup:
Thanks for the welcome folks! Looking back I neglected to add the year - it is a 2018, they had a great sale at Bikes, Blues and BBQ in Fayetteville AR this year. We got more off on the price because it was a "training bike" - It had 91 miles on it when we got it, and was considered 3 months old.
Boris the Spyder was my 1st name choice, but as I mentioned Gloria didn't like that name or the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzIvGfuea0g
She thought that Itsy Bitsy was cute, and even started doing the hand motions for the song.
For some reason I couldn't get on to the forum, but i did a few weeks of lurking. I just got a message that said registration was disabled by the administrator. We went to Lamonster Garage to pick up a few things after we took delivery of Itsy Bitsy and found Lamont was ailing (prayers and best wishes to him for a good recovery) and thus the forum was limited for a while. Glad to be able to be part of it now. While lurking I learned a lot, I did read and re-read the Do's and Don'ts for new spyder owners.
Glad to be part of this board, and hope I can be a useful contributor from time to time.
Welcome to the forum... hope you are able to get several good rides in before winter kicks in...
:welcome: to the site. :yes:
