Well I have been in touch with my dealer and he hopes to deliver my Spyder on Friday 29th , Good Friday as it happens wooooohooooo ! Can't :cus: wait :2excited:.
This is the third time we have arranged a date and have been knocked back .
First time they were having trouble getting a spare key cut , the second time ( last weekend ) heavy snow etc was forecast , this time they are collecting / getting the key coded on the way up to me but there is still snow threatening to spoil the party , fingers crossed all the planets will line up and I will get my very own Spyder :pray: this time round .
I didn't want to but couldn't resist the urge to start ordering farkles , even before the bike has arrived , which I know it tempting fate , but hey ! what is a guy to do ?
I have ordered a full cover , which has arrived , to protect my pride and joy from kids , dogs etc chucking their bikes / toys onto her in the garage , still on order is a windscreen trim kit , a couple of chrome Spyder decals and some chrome handlebar inserts from your side of the pond , not much to be had over here in the U.K. that I have found yet .
I don't want to order too many things just yet incase she already has them fitted ( pre-loved 2011 model RS SM5 in white )
What I deffo 'need' as my daughter would say is a Bajaron sway bar and a Yoshimura or Mivv end can , can't decide which one just yet .

Thanks for listening .

Mike .

There is one thing you will have to prepare for though, be ready to enter the world of arachnoid obsession :yikes:

Just sayin'............

Well here's hoping that "Good" Friday now becomes good for at least TWO reasons! :cheers: http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_33_15.gif

Congrats, Mike! Good idea on waiting on ordering a lot of farkles. You never what's gonna come with her. One of my first was changing the grips to the Kuryakyn ISO black grips. The new grips added more comfort for my hands.

:congrats::welcome:

Welcome, I'm a ex-pat from Desford, Leciestershire, just down the road from the triumph factory...

Would have loved the Spider (if it was out back then) to ride through Derbyshire..

I am surprised that you guys in the UK have places open on Good Friday. Is it not a holiday there? Here in Canada everything is closed for the holiday. :yes:
