    Default Moving to Florida

    Headed to Florida sometime around September, October, 2018. New Smyrna Beach, just below Daytona. Will need to find a new dealer. Service is a top priority. And getting car tires mounted is another big plus. I can get the fronts off. The rear, no. Tom

    Central Florida Powersports in Kissimmee is only 1.5 hours away from New Smyrna Beach. Call ahead and ask for Kenny Butler. They will take care of you. I drive 250 miles from Southern Miami-Dade County to have important work done. At last visit I had them replace my rear tire with a Kumho Ecsta which they stock.

    Welcome to Florida! We moved here in the early 80's and never looked back.

    Already have the layout broken down. Room in the new house will be limited. Thankfully we can scale it down. Had it set up on folding tables, with styrofoam sheets. Have no idea yet what we will do. Tom

    Default You will miss the snow

    Congrats on your pending move to the Sunshine State.

    I bet you will miss that dreadful snow for about 5 minutes as someone from PA tells you how bad it is. I would love to move someone warm for the winter months - not overly fond of FL especially not enough for full time.
    Love my Spyders

    I'll also put in a good word For Central Florida Powersports. Kenny Butler is a spyder ryder and a great guy. He takes the time to show and explain to you what he's doing.
    Hans is the new Service Manager. He used to be a service advisor. Another great guy to deal with.
    Bonus is that they stock and install car tires on your spyder.

    Enjoy Florida.

    Thank you for the update. I was not aware that Chris had been moved into the office to handle Finance. Hans Sandoval has been promoted to Service Mgr. and Kenny Butler is a very competent, and owner friendly, Spyder Tech.
