    Grants Pass. OR

    I have a white 2013 RTS with a little over 10,000 miles. Sorry but I cant figure how to get a picture posted :). I have been riding motorcycles since 1949. I also have a 2008 HD Roadglide.

    Grants Pass

    I live it Grants Pass and ride 2 to 3 times a week. Rides are about 150 miles. We normally ride 2-up but some times I ride solo. I would like to ride with other Spyder owners.
