To all my friends here on Spyderlovers from Joan and I

[Lamonster]

As we say goodbye to 2015 and say hello to 2016 Joan (https://www.facebook.com/JoanWiseSpyderRyder) and I just want to thank you all for your friendship and support throughout the year. It's been a crazy whirlwind of a year and I never thought we could pack so much into just 12 months, it feels like we've lived a lifetime together and yet we really haven't known each other that long. All I can say is God's timing is perfect and he gives hope when there seems to be no hope. Joan is good for me and I think I'm good for her. We both give thanks everyday that we found each other.



People have lost family members, spouses and close friends this year and some without warning. It's never easy to deal with this and even harder to understand why. What I have found is people tend to express how much they love someone after they're gone when it would be so much better if we did that before they were taken from us. I know that is something I plan on working on for 2016. I may not lose the 20 lbs I need to drop even though I will give it my best but I will everyday reach out to my wife and tell her and try and show her how much I love her. I'll do my best to put others first and really reach out to those I know in need. I find that when I focus on others I become truly happy and when I focus on myself I'm most miserable.


It's hard not to get upset at all the craziness going on in our country and around the world but my goal is not to be the one that fuels the fire of hate and doubt but to be a rock and focused on the things I can change to make a better life for myself, my family and those in my world that I come in contact with. I may not be able to change the world but I can have a positive effect with those in my small part of the world that God has blessed me with.


So from Joan and I we wish you a happy new year and hope and pray that this coming year will be a blessing to you and your family. You all have become our blessing. Look up, look forward and stay the course.
Psalm 119:1-8

A Happy and prosperous New Year's to you and lady lamonster. I too lost a dear friend who took his own life at 40 years of age. I am still trying to figure out why. I hope I eventually get past this. To a better 2016. Hope to see you and finally get to meet your bride next year!

Thank you Lamonster for all that you give back and continue to do for the members here. I have only been a member for a few short months, but the people here really do become fast friends. If we took your approach of selflessness to heart imagine how things might turn out. It's been a pleasure so far meeting all of you and I am very much looking forward to meeting many of you in person and even more here in the Spyderlovers virtual world.:clap:

[Bob Denman]

And "Happy New Year!" wishes, to every one of our Spyder-Loving friends! :2thumbs:

What can I say? Lamont, you ARE Spyderlovers! I know it's down to us to play nice when we're here BUT if it wasn't for you and the immense amount of work that you put in then this place would not be as wonderful as it is.....this is your doing and you should feel proud of the achievement. Thank you so much!:thumbup:

[Darren111]

Happy new year Lamont and Joan. Thank you for bringing Spyderlovers to us in the UK. :yes::yes::yes:

I am fairly new to this site/It has been very helpful-I don't have my M3 endorsement yet/I have paid for my wife and myself to take the trike/Spyder classes (March 4/5and 6).
I have bought us a 2015 RTS. Looking forward to riding.
I have been married to my wife (Jeanne) for thirty two years.
We found out in March that she had ovarian cancer/She has finished chemo.......
I only mention any of this to bring to light just how precious time is.
EVERY DAY I TEXT HER: I LOVE YOU TODAY!
God bless everyone of you.
