    Default An Old Friend Looked Me Up.

    How many of you remember Scotty?
    (Nancy's Toy)

    Scotty.jpg
    The Motorbike Professor sent me a n email earlier in the week, and we've spent some time catching up.
    For those of you who joined after he left: Scotty was always the "Go-To" Guy; with all of the answers about our Spyders. His answers were always put in easy to understand terms, and had just the right amount of humor too!
    He still rides his 2011 RT, but Nancy is reluctantly selling her GS. His Barn is completed, and is full of his really cool old bikes and nicely modified four wheeled conveyances.
    He's taking on some bike restoration projects, and is even tackling some new designs for bridge building!

    I just thought you would like to know that he and Nancy are both doing just fine...

    Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Glad to hear that the old man is still doing well. Miss his insight and humor. Of course, I haven't been on here much either.

    Jim!! Glad to see that you stopped by!

    ...And that you guys survived that big storm...
    How is the house?

    By the way: I see that we're both coming up on our eighth anniversary of being members in here.

    Gold Watch? Ha! The house is ok. Minor leaks. That wind and rain was rough. Wind was driving the rain in to any little opening. Still have some water in the back yard. Down to inches now instead of feet. But we are blessed compared to those further east and south. Kris is doing well. She got a new F3L delivered a day before the storm. With hip and leg problems, she was not able to ride the RT any long distance. She was able to drive a friends F3L and fell in love with it. Now, if we had some decent weather, and roads that weren't flooded...

    Glad to hear that your house survived, and doubly-glad to hear that Kris is doing well! (Give her a hug from both of us!)

    He was the best!
    He passed on knowledge without putting people down.
    When I didn’t see him after coming back to forum after 4 years, I was fearing the worst... good to know he is doing well.

    Met Scotty the first time at the Chicago BRP event. Great guy loaded with knowledge. Ran into him a couple more times at other events but haven’t seen or heard from him in years. Good to hear he is still out there riding. Thanks for the info Bob.

    Default Thanks for the news

    When I bought my Spyder it was encouraging to have someone with a great deal of motorcycle experience like Scotty answer questions on the forum.
    The forum has others who have been just as generous with advice, and it is appreciated as much as Scotty.
    Thank you very much Bob

    I saw him a few months ago at the Vintage Bike show at the Gilmore Car Museuem. Was nice to catch up a bit.

    Good guy....

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!
