HG and FB,

Thanks again for the great times and ryde. HG, the barbecue was fantastic, best brisket ever! :bbq: FB, you are a great hostess. Fantastic meeting fellow spyder riders from Texas and elsewhere. The ryde yesterday to the batteship Texas was awesome and lunch at the Monument Inn also was great. Even though I went into limp mode on the way home, all seems to be OK with my spyder now. Harvey, my skidplate and block off plate are working great; it was nice to meet you and look forward to seeing you again in Durango next nonth.

Thanks again HG and FB; you are awesome!!! :thumbup:
