    Default Where it all began

    This pic was taken in march of 2008 on our way home from dealer after picking up our first Spyder ....stopped to show a buddy that's a foreman in haverhill Ma .... It was a cold new England day ...but we didn't care we were to pumped about after waiting a year we finally got it ...( some of you newbies might not have known but way back in 2007 a lot of the premier Spyders had to be ordered a year in advance to get. One) now with almost 40000 miles on it new paint mods and almost 5 new England winters under our belt and a 2009 red one for Dee we still get a charge out of riding .... I will be adding another thread going over what we have done with them in the past 5 years ....but for now just thought I'd drop some reading on ya ....

    tattr2,

    Since you hadn't been on in a long time, I thought for sure that you had sold the spyders. Glad to see you back.

    How's Dee's Yorkie doing?

    Cool

    Glad to hear you are still spydering.....I always enjoyed your antics and your adulterated pictures.

    I bought my 08 Spyder PE3016 in April of 08 (yellow) and it change my life....and yes I remember about the year wait. Four months ago I traded the yellow spydee (WITH 23,000 MILES) in for a 2012 black RS.

    Still screaming Yahoo as I go down the road.

    Welcome back. Your picture brings back memories of my first 2008--same color, but not a premier edition. I had to wait until June for mine to come in. Looking forward to more posts.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
