Lots of activity here. I love these threads. I listed my last ride here. The first was listed in another thread. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...rst-Motorcycle I couldn't list all the ones I have had in between...I don't even have pictures of them all. There are some pictures of some of the current stable here. The fleet currently numbers 26, counting the Spyders. We're still having lots of fun.

I just gotta make sure that the fuel lines are the only issue before I sell it. The good news is I bought it w/530 miles on it and it has just ~5000 on it now. I put new tires on it when I got it so you will be good there. It has sat a while, so let me get it running and I will let you know.
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally
As many have stated once they got a spyder they never looked back but this thread will hopefully take you back and put a smile on your face give you a few good memories of where we all came from. I'm older than dirt and it makes me feel no older..enjoy the memories...
