Third Spyder in the house
Flew down to DFW on Thursday morning... took an Uber to Richardson, Tx. Met with Flospyrida about 11:30AM.... Did all the paperwork to purchase their 2014 RTS. We left Richardson headed home to North Las Vegas about 1:00. Had crazy crosswinds all the way to Aramrillo, TX, 365 miles, we stopped for the night, about 10:30PM. Got up Friday morning had breakfast and hit the road, by 7AM, Again Fought crosswinds, but the wife wanted to drive "her" bike, so I sat back and directed her, stopped in Albequerque, NM for lunch, had a fantastic Bon Mi sandwich. Hit the road again, sun was setting when we hit Flagstaff, AZ but it was cold and they still had that white fungus "snow" along the side of the roads, and Kingman isn't that far away. So we headed down the mountain. We found a Comfort inn just off I-40 in Kingman about 9:30PM. We had traveled 756 miles Friday and 1,116 miles since we left Richardson, Tx. Only 118 miles to home. We got a good night sleep, had a shower and a good breakfast, and hit the road about 7:30, when we left Kingman it was 57 degrees, really nice riding weather little wind, by the time we got to Las Vegas it was 79 degrees and very little wind, our leathers were getting warm. but we were almost home . We arrived home at 10:30Am. Unloaded the new bike and got the wife's old 2010 Spyder RT A&C ready to go to Proshop Powersports and Marine to sell on consignment. We were really tired. On April 11, we will be traveling to Valdosta, Georgia, to visit our Son and Daughter-in-law, but we aren't going to travel over 350 miles per day. My wife has had both knees, both hips replaced and 4 lower vertebreas fused and her sicatic nerve moved. The sicatic nerve isn't happy in it's new location. Anyways, this was a great shakedown trip for the Georgia trip.
