No kidding. We just got back from a trip to Paonia for the BMW rally. Telluride, Grand Mesa, back over Independence Pass and Trail Ridge Road... I've had my Spyder 2 years and have put 22k miles on it. Funny, I'm jonesing for an ST, but my GS has been so reliable, I hesitate... time will tell...

NICE! Yep, our riding here is stunning, but short. I do ride throughout the year (got a heated vest for my b-day!), but have to pick and choose the moments when the roads allow.
Side note - I work for a franchisee out of San Diego - need to come back for a visit, but would like to ride too. Is there a reputable Spyder rental place down your way?

That's a picture of Bob. He asked his wife about purchasing a new farkel and she said "wait here and I will get back to you"

Thanks for posting the picture. I have also been to that location. Pre-:ani29: days though.

I also got started on a 2008 GS and that was the beginning of something good. My 2008 is still alive and well. I saw her less than two weeks ago.

Wow, Spyderman! You've had a few of them. No ST though? WTH?? :dontknow:

I turned my GS into an ST plus--five years before they came out. Always wonder if BRP stole my ideas? :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

The next logical step was an RTS when they arrived. :yes:

Here is a picture of a pair of GS/RS (my ST version). 2008 and 2009.

I think they were called monasteries back then.

Even though I've just begun Spyder shopping I couldn't resist commenting on the picture. I pedaled my 60 year old butt past that Independence Pass sign 13 years ago.
