    Default Farewell My Friends

    I sold my 2008 GS today. I would like to thank you for the great advice I have received
    during the past 8 years on this forum . It was bleeding edge technology 10 years ago. I often had a crowd of 15 people gathered around my Spyder when I came out of Home Depot. I would have to give a short seminar on my odd new toy. Double takes were the norm where ever I traveled. Waves from 2 wheel bikers were few and far between.

    I would especially like to thank Randy for his how to videos that allowed me to get back into wrenching again, something I had not done since the 1970s when I could no longer afford to take my Triumph TR6 and MG B GT to the mechanic Lucus Electric “the father of darkness”. I never went to my dealer for service on my Spyder unless it was for a recall thanks to this forum.

    I would also like to thank Baja Ron and Spyderpops for their innovative products and excellent
    customer service!

    Thank you Lamonster for allllll you have done for Spyder riders

    Last, but by far not least thank you (bacon) Bob D. for always getting a word in and answering my questions many times.

    I am sure I have forgotten to thank many more and because of this I thank all of you.

    I’m now on the road to the Harley forums ( I-know), but it was time for a change for me.

    Good luck on your new choice of bikes. I just sold mine and went back to a Goldwing. I'm sticking around because I have meet some good people here and just because I don't ride a Spyder they want hold it against me. I still have several friends that rides Spyders and I do their work on them and sometimes a question needs asking and someone here will have the answer.

    , goodbye !!!! ................. This thread has an interesting footnote at least to me ..... the title to this is thread is " "Farewell My Friends ", and you named Four above ..... I find this a bit curious, because on your Bio page you have Four friends listed ......but none of them appear in your Farewell Thread ...... But I suppose friends means different things to different people ................ this was just an observation ....... Mike

    Mike, you need to stop being soooo nit-picky. It's much easier to simply look at the big picture and take it for what it's worth, donchano?.

    Adio's Amigo!

    May the winds at your back never be your own.

    Farewell, you will enjoy the new Harley as I did for some 60 years. Many friends there too. They just look more scary cause they got beards and more tattoo's but really are

    great people.
