    Default Hopefully no Upgrades

    I'm hoping this is my last road bike. I've replaced 3 bikes since 1991 with convertibles, and always went back. Maybe the fourth will take. I'm not a real motivated seller and will keep riding a little.

    My fourth convertible: (Not counting the three before 1991).

    Congrats! I have considered getting rid of one of my spyders and the mustang and picking up another convertible. I checked out a nice used miata this past summer. After getting in (at 6'-2", 255 pounds), I couldn't hardly shut the door. Think I will have to go with something bigger. I am either considering a mustang, corvette, or possibly a nissan 350 or 370Z.

    Default 2014 RTS Price Reduced

    It looks like I was too optimistic regarding the expected price for my RTS. Bummer, such a great Spyder.

    I'll expose it to the market for a while with a reduced price and see if that helps.

    You can call with any questions at 770-six-six-six-3569.

    Default You're probably correct on the SM6

    I truly prefer to shift gears but recognize that's a minority position.

    Thanks again Paul for all your assistance last year with the drive belt adjustments.

    I have really enjoyed this site but at 76 years old, it's time to go. Started delivering papers on a motor scooter in 1955 and have had one or more motorcycles in the garage since 1966.

    Having mentioned my age, I did walk 4 miles on the Appalachian Trail this past Thursday with my daughter and her friend to McAfee Knob close to Roanoke, VA and 4 miles back. They were gracious enough to go slowly for me.

    Notice my posture - ready to retreat.

    Bill,

    Did they take the RDL or Corbin seat? I'd be interested in the Corbin if you still have it.

    Default Still have the Corbin

    Hi, Jim, nice looking Spyder.

    They didn't seem interested in discussing which seat, were in a hurry to purchase and depart.

    I'll figure a fair price plus payment and shipping particulars, then get back to you and see if you are interested. You may want some pictures.

    -Bill

    Default Another aviator

    Thanks. It sure seems like a great deal to me. The new owner is also a pilot. I don't know airplanes, but I think he said he flew a Navajo.
