    Default Firefly and HDX - BELIEVE IT OR NOT

    So today Lou was on Spyder Lovers and he sees a post from Firefly - who happened to be in our neck of the woods on a road trip through New England. Two of his buds in his group had bolts that got stuck in their tires and they noticed it yesterday leaving NYC. All the Harley Dealers were closed for the holiday weekend but they were able to get to Cycle Gear not too far from us to get new tires so we showed up with a jack and some tools and we all replaced the tires, under an overhang. It's been drizzling all day here. Now they are on their way to Boston. It was cool - as you all know we've had our differences on here but when it comes to a fellow biker helping out another fellow biker - that just goes along with riding. And it was teamwork, we all had a good time, Firefly and his friends were fun ...... same fun sense of humor, all in good spirits, we wish them an awesome trip and I hope we can take a trip up to their neck of the woods. Actually we are looking into some dates to get away.

    So if you all don't believe it, I've got proof....l...

    Looks like fun! But we'll just be getting back from the Troop Ride up in Horseheads NY 1st week in August. I have to coordinate vacation with the other people I work with. So it will probably be sometime in September. Wish I had more vacation time!

    It's all true. HDX hooked us up big time. More of the story after I get some sleep.

    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!

    Talking Feud is Over

    Does this mean the "feud" is over. I'm really going to miss those "discussions". Things won't be near as much fun now.
