THEY SAY THIS COMING WEEK!!

**oldguyinTX** · 07-28-2018, 07:18 PM

Is the week that my new Champagne Metallic 2017 RTS (the only RTS they had, did not want another Limited) will arrive from imotorsports. I really hope it comes on Thursday August 2nd, as that is our 40th anniversary. What a fitting present for us to give to each other. I spent most of the day today taking stuff off of the "White Lemon", lidlox, ram mount, oversize brake pedal, magic mirror mounts, and some other items, license plate among them. Cancelled the insurance on it today as well. I will be glad to see it gone.

Congratulations, old guy, but that’s rather strange logic re your purchase. You aren’t going to buy another Limited because you had a Limited that was a lemon? You do realise that you could get a lemon in an RTS, don’t you? Or in an F3, or an F3L, or an....... . You probably would have been better off buying a Limited actually, as the chances of getting a lemon with two Limiteds in a row would have been extremely low

I am also a non-limited person. Don't need the real chrome or the garman.

**oldguyinTX** · 07-28-2018, 08:53 PM

It was more about saving money than thinking my present Spyder is a lemon just because it's a Limited, and not really needing or wanting all of the gee-gaws and chrome of the Limited. Besides, the wife is happy with the RTS, as we have ridden a 2016 a few times as a loaner.

**DGoebel** · 07-28-2018, 10:15 PM

Congratulations that is a BEAUTIFUL color, and I know the White Lemon let you down, here's hoping (or rather my Confident Expectation) that the replacement will make up for all the troubles.

**Chupaca** · 07-28-2018, 11:56 PM

for the pictures be it on or about your anniversary..

congrats on all of it....

**bscrive** · 07-29-2018, 07:00 AM

Looking forward to pictures Dwight.

**d.o.spyder-rts** · 07-29-2018, 08:48 AM

on your newn spyder. I'm on my second RTS, couldn't justify the additional expense for the chrome wheels and gps. Looking forward to seeing the pictures. Dale

**Deanna777** · 07-29-2018, 10:28 AM

Dwight,

Deanna

**ThreeWheels** · 07-29-2018, 10:47 AM

You'll have a new reliable Spyder.
You're out of excuses for not riding.

**oldguyinTX** · 07-29-2018, 02:55 PM

Brian, Deb, Deanna, Steve et. all, when it gets here I will get pics both to post and to put in my signature. Believe me, nobody wants it here more than I do.

Deanna, sorry I didn't respond to your question, but no, we are not going this year. Val's mom seems to magically come down with some ailment if we try to get away for any length of time. Actually, she usually starts obsessing about us being away about a week before we actually leave. Last summer, we and our 4 kids spent a week in Rehoboth Beach DE, where we have been going for many years, and Val wanted all of us to be together. It was a nightmare having to listen to the litany of her mom's problems every day, which disappeared the day after we got back.

**irvin48** · 07-30-2018, 08:48 AM

havent figured out why everyone seems to want a limited. when we bought ours
i wanted an S. we love it .has been very reliable after the gp sensor and dess
module were replaced. you can always put on chrome wheels !

I will light a candle for you brother. It's hard to imagine why some folks behave that why.

**PrairieSpyder** · 07-30-2018, 04:33 PM

Can't wait to see the pics!

Well, she's old, cranky, has severe anxiety, stubborn, selfish, needs instant gratification, is a total hypochondriac, codependent....need I go on? Did I mention that we have been supporting her for almost 30 years? Or that she's bat-**** crazy? Or maybe I'm just being cynical.

But forget about her, I find out tomorrow when my RTS will get here.

Did you get it (New Spyder)?

It is shipping tomorrow (Wednesday) and it should be here late Thursday. Just depends on how many bikes on the truck, where they are going, and where mine is loaded on the truck. Of course the weather forecast is for hard rain for at least the next 5 days. Guess I'll stay in the garage and start on farkles.

**LeftCoast** · 07-31-2018, 09:20 PM

Nothing worse than waiting for big fun adult toys!

**oldguyinTX** · 08-01-2018, 06:18 PM

Got a call from imotorsports late today, the truck was late leaving so now it's maybe Friday, more likely Saturday. Well, I guess good things come to those who wait.

I bought a Goldwing from them and had the paperwork completed on July 24th but had no one ever call to let me know when the shipment was set to leave. I had to call several times and text my salesman several times before he even responded. He said it was set to be delivered today and they would call 6 hrs prior to delivery. So at least they have kept you in the loop. I'm still dangling out here not really knowing what's going on.

Happy Motoring on the new ride. And happy 40th also
