It's time! :clap:

Time for the November ESI Cycle Products Spyderlovers giveaway contest. :yes:

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, we thought this time we'd have a "things about Spyderlovers you are thankful for" contest.

Just post the thing/s about having Spyderlovers around that you are thankful for, and on 11/30/10 we'll again draw a post number to pick the winner as usual.

This time the winner will receive a Street Magic accent light kit complete with remote control for their Spyder.

So let's all take some time this holiday season to stop and remember to be thankful for all the good things in our life, and let's hear what you're thankful for about Spyderlovers. :thumbup:

I would like to say to the Spyderlovers Members thank you; For all the story's and tales about your travels, It reminds me when i used to drive to Michigan back in the early 70's, I would listen to the truck drivers stories and their travels on the CB,
Just listing made the drive go by quicker.

And so as i read about the Spyderlovers travels i feel like i made those trips myself.
That alone is worth being on this Forum.

I am so thankful for Spyderlovers because this site has helped me enjoy Spydee in ways I wouldn't have thought of when I bought her.

Spyderlovers is full of good and humorous people ready to answer questions large and small.

Spyderlovers has encouraged me to travel to places I never would have thought to go, have adventures I never thought could happen, and meet great people all along the way.

Spyderlovers is full of friends. Some I've met and many I have yet to meet.

Lastly, Spyderlovers helped me find a part of myself I thought was lost forever...

Thank you so much!

This year I am thankful for...

- Learning about the Can-Am Spyder for the first time!
- Learning about SpyderLovers.com through a web search for information about this really cool three-wheel machine called a Spyder!
- Finding such an amazing resource of good, first-hand Spyder information in SpyderLovers!
- Being so kindly welcomed by the members here!
- Becoming a 2010 Spyder RS-S owner!!
- Having access to the great SpyderLovers vendors!

AND... (among other things too numerous to mention)

-- ESI Cycle Products and Magic Man's generous SpyderLovers giveaway contests!!

I'm thankful for all the info here that every Spyderlover has contributed that not only convinced me to by my spyder but also how to best modify it and maintain, and thankful that I've been able to contribute back to the community in some way.

I'm EXTREMELY thankful for all the Spyderlovers that kept my wife and I and our newborn preemie daughter in their thoughts and offered their prayers. The closeness we have even though many of us have never met is astounding.

I'm thankful for the thoughtfulness and generosity of Spyderlovers like Forest, Doc, Docriverside and his wife (She bakes me cookies), MusicArcade, Firefly, and others who have lent a couch or bed, broke bread, or shared something of value with me in regard to our Spyders.

I'm thankful for Spyderlover vendors like ESI (Evan), that when you call he spends time on the phone sharing his knowledge of everything spyder and helps you make the right purchase.

Finally, I'm thankful for the 1st Spyderlover - Lamont, who without this site I would not have met so many of you.

Gee what can I say -- Spydelovers is a FAMILY. A great group of individuals that have come together because of a "uncommon" motorcycle and have bonded.
They have given me support through hard times, advice on my spyder; made me laugh when I needed it and I have met the best friends that anyone could ever want.
Thanks SpyderLovers and thanks MM for all you do too.

My thanks to the RS spyder which gave me almost 39,000 almost issue free miles.
But most importantly, God's gift to me that I still may ride in the wind and finding a 3 wheeler that I can ride
and the great people I met and ride with thoughout this great country.
And I guess for " Blue " my new RT as a replacement of my Yellow RS and with hopes it will serve me as well as the RS.

I am thankful for my Spyder, as I thought I would never ride in the open air with the wind in my face again. I am very thankful for Lamont starting Spyder Lovers, as it has opened up an entirely new network of friends that share a common interest with me. I thank all of you who freely share advice, stories, and pictures, on here with the rest of us. I am thankful for all of the new friends I have made through the site. And yes, I am even thankful for the supporting vendors who seem to suck the money out of my wallet faster than a vacuum cleaner ever could. :D

I'm thankful for the guy and his Spyder I say at an Arco a couple of years ago. It changed my life and extended my riding life, hopefully, for many years. I was about to hang up my goggles. I'm also thankful that it allowed this old dog to start a new business at 67. It's given me a hole new purpose and excitement towards life in general.

She is able to get on the RT because of its stability and feels secure enbough that she comes out on rides with me. It's about the only thiking she is able to do outside. :clap::2thumbs:

I was ready to give it up before I came across SpyderLovers and all you great :spyder2:Lovers out there. I'm very excited about attending my 1st rally at SpyderFest in April. You people also gave me an opportunity to have a second career with SealFloorBoards. I love starting new business'. Nothing will keep one young like a new, exciting project, especially one that i can get so involved in and love....like riding my :spyder2:, making new friends and hopefully helping other riders enjoy their :spyder2: experiene even more. Can't wait to meet a whole bunch of new friends in April. You guys are the best! Thank you one and all.

Many things come to mind this time of the year. To say I am thankful to Lamont for starting, maintaining and putting up with us on this site would be an understatement.
I am also thankful for the vendors that have become site sponsors here and for the products they have developed that not only make our spyders personal, but also add to the safety of ryding as well. Many thanks go out to the gang at ESI. My spyder doesnt hide in the dark anymore and can be seen much easier now. Keep the stuff coming. There is a small dark area on the sides of the front trunk, like where some pucks would really look good...hint...hint
Got to add that I am thankful for the many in our armed forces that will be away from thier loved ones this year that work so hard to keep this country what it is and that allows us the FREEDOM to make the choices that we do.

http://lewwaters.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/freedom-isnt-free.jpg

I'm waiting for a time when all of our men and women that serve can be home to celebrate these days with thier families just like they are making it possible for us to do.

There is the before Spyderlovers and Ms. Spyder and the after. Who would have thunk that this great grannie's life would unfold like a flower growing and blooming.
Because of all you wonderful spyderlovers....the following has occurred:

Purchased the Spyder without seeing or ryding.
Have totally trusted you when I have had a ?...and trust me some of those ?'s are totally "blond" - even tho I am totally grey!!
Have found some incredible businesses to deal with, again sight unseen. But I have learned to trust your opinions.
My enjoyment of the world has expanded because of having Ms. Spyder, getting sound, funny and wonderful advise from Spyderlovers..
Has me making plans for a trip to Cubo, MO..

The fact that here in America we still have freedoms to do, be and say...ourself. Free to be...is :2thumbs:

I am Thankful to be healthy, alive, and able to enjoy life to the fullest.
Thankful for my wonderful family and friends. Especially my husband, getting us through the toughest time in our life, the loss of our daughter. Our house, vehicles, and everything we own, including having food on the table.

Thankful to have found something I really enjoy, and that is my Spyder, never thought to be ryding a spyder or any motorcycle and ryding across country.
For Lamont, Vendors, and all the SpyderLovers here on this site, you guys and gals are really great. To have such friends is a blessing.

Be Thankful of what you have, Life is too short, live it to the fullest and enjoy each day :2thumbs:
