    Default Um, where's the rest of it?!?

    So I had my 38th birthday this past Friday, and have been hounding my wife to let me buy a Spyder since I first read about the prototype. Since we just had a baby 10 weeks ago, I figured my chances of buying one are on hold for a year or so.

    Check out this photo of one of my gifts... that's right, it's the wrap off of a Spyder shipping crate. I had made a comment once that when I finally get my Spyder, I was going to get the crate to build something from the wood, and cut down and frame a piece of the wrap. The guys at our local BRP dealer thought it was a cruel joke, but let her take the wrap anyways.

    Pretty funny, I guess for now this is as close as I'm going to get.

    It may not be a whole spyder, but you could start adding parts to it til you have one.

    I think it's a hoot, and I applaud your sense of humor...and your wife's. Sounds like she's leaning your way. You'll get one someday. Happy Birthday!

    Happy Birthday!!! It is a start. Start buying the add-ons, that is a good idea.

    Very funny. On the bright side, at least now you know that she knows exactly what it is and where to get it.

    I think it shows a great sense of humor on both your parts, and I think it also shows your wife is with you on wanting you to get one.

    My wife was pregnant when I got my Spyder...it was the only thing she'd let me get! The Spyder is a great way to get some 'me' time...love it and enjoy it.

    Tell her ...

    "Thanks for getting me a cover for the Spyder! The dealer said bike will be here next week"

    That should get her thinking abiout the can of worms she opened.

    Good luck! We're glad to have you here with us.

    Buy your Spyder and tell her you found it under the wrapping.

    Thanks for the GREAT comments everybody!!

    I think there is definately one in my not-so-distant future, and I like the idea of starting to buy the add-ons. Once I had a pile of them, I'd need something to install them on right?

    Until then, I've been living through all of you, please keep up the postings on life with your Spyders... and hopefully I'll have my own stories to tell someday soon.
