Just a reminder that our Vintage Motorcycle Show is at the Gilmore Car Museum this weekend. Last year there were a number of SpyderLovers there, plus some additional Spyders. Hope to see some of you there again. Come early, stay late...look for me on the show field and Nancy in registration. Our Spyders should be there, too, but we are still working oin the logistics. We'll be camping there overnight, if you are there Saturday, but the show itself is Sunday.

He is supposed to have a bigger engine this year. You may want earplugs and earmuff type protectors!

Hey Scotty,:2thumbs:
Joan and I are planning on being there. I'm bringing a former co-worker with us. We'll make sure we look you and Nancy up.

Headed out to the Museum around lunch time. Nancy test rode my RTS for the first time yesterday. She was amazed at how similar it was to her GS, despite the much greater bulk and the heavier weight. She adapted quickly. Having her ride it to the Museum allowed me to load her Spyder in the trailer. I can't load any vintage bikes in there with mine, but I can add two with hers...if I remove her bags.

We have to head out today for setup. The vintage ride is today. Hope to see some SpyderLovers at the show Sunday! I'll chat with the rest of you Monday or so.

Holy :cus: !!! :yikes:

I was standing about 20 feet from it last year when he started it and it is by far the loudest thing I've ever heard! Plus, it literally shook the ground! It takes a real enthusiast to mount a jet engine on a bicycle! :D
