    No kidding. We just got back from a trip to Paonia for the BMW rally. Telluride, Grand Mesa, back over Independence Pass and Trail Ridge Road... I've had my Spyder 2 years and have put 22k miles on it. Funny, I'm jonesing for an ST, but my GS has been so reliable, I hesitate... time will tell...

    NICE! Yep, our riding here is stunning, but short. I do ride throughout the year (got a heated vest for my b-day!), but have to pick and choose the moments when the roads allow.
    Side note - I work for a franchisee out of San Diego - need to come back for a visit, but would like to ride too. Is there a reputable Spyder rental place down your way?

    Thanks for posting the picture. I have also been to that location. Pre- days though.

    I also got started on a 2008 GS and that was the beginning of something good. My 2008 is still alive and well. I saw her less than two weeks ago.

    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.

    Wow, Spyderman! You've had a few of them. No ST though? WTH??

    I turned my GS into an ST plus--five years before they came out. Always wonder if BRP stole my ideas?

    The next logical step was an RTS when they arrived.

    Here is a picture of a pair of GS/RS (my ST version). 2008 and 2009.

    Even though I've just begun Spyder shopping I couldn't resist commenting on the picture. I pedaled my 60 year old butt past that Independence Pass sign 13 years ago.
