    Default MEMORIES

    Recently my 22 year old grand daughter visited my wife and I here in Central Florida. She had never had a ride on a motorcycle of any type, so I gave her, her first motorcycle ride on my Spyder Rt. While out, we got caught in one of our central Florida heavy rainstorms. As we were on secondary roads and there was no lightining, we simply laughed at it, and continued to ride. Two days later she joined me as I went on about a 100 mile ride with our over 55 community motorcycle club. Nine old men all over 60 and one young lady. After about an hour we stopped for breakfast. She ignored grandpa and sat at the other end of the table. I am unsure if my grand daughter or the men had more fun. While I always enjoy and take advantage of every opportunity to ride my Spyder, it has also given me the opportunity to create lifetime memories for both my grand daughter and me. I can only hope others on this site can experience the same fantastic times. It is not only how far or how long you ride, but who rides with you.

    Exactly the reason I took " the plunge" and bought my Spyder ... The ole " it's not the destination, it's the journey and who takes it with you" , but that's no cliche for me now

    I've met lots of super people and made wonderful new friends I never would have known if it wasn't for the Spyder. Exactly the reason I bought it.

    I have 15 Grandchildren 4 boys and 11 girls. The boys have never wanted to ride with me but all the girls have to the poinf they'll call me to see if we can take a ride. I love it! I had a Yamaha Vino 125 just sitting around and one the older girls talked me out of it, so she has her own now.

    They told me not to give up on my dreams, so I went back to sleep.
