    Default Spyders in Arkansas

    Two more new Spyder ryders in Arkansas! Wife rides a 2011 RT and I just switched from a conventional trike to an F3 Limited (bought it at Pit Bull). We have just moved from Austin, TX to Hot Springs Village, AR (in May). We love it here and enjoy riding these Arkansas roads!
    Hope to meet some of you guys and gals as we settle in to being Ar-Kansans (did I say/spell that right??). Have met riders from GWRRA chapter here in HSV and enjoy having someone to ride with.

    Yep, already been to SpyderPops, took the wife's RT in for oil change and checkup, he did a great job and was honest about what we should, and should not do, to our "roadsters" (I was corrected that these are not trikes, they are roadsters). Will be taking the new F3 in for it's first followup once I get to 3000 miles.
    Yes, met Cruzr Joe there as he was test-riding a new F3 Limited for Bradfordmarine (his job?, that's what I need to do!)
    No, don't go to the casinos, can't afford it after buying an new F3, especially since I haven't sold my old trike yet! Doesn't mean we won't drop by for a visit someday......

    As you can tell, I don't know how to do multiple quotes for replies, one of these days I will learn. So here are the pictures for proof! First one is of the wife on her Viper Red 2011 RT, second is of me leaving Pit Bull Motorsports for the ride home after my F3 purchase (ended up riding 200 miles in the rain going home that day!), third one is of the garage, yes it is quite full of roadsters and a trike (you can see my orange custom trike in the foreground, it's for sale). Fourth is just a side shot of the F3.

    Now I have to change pictures! Wife upgraded her red 2011 RT, to an orange (excuse me, that's Cognac, I stand corrected by the wife) 2014 RT Limited. She said she sure likes her new ride!

    I had heard the TV new people call residents Ar-Kansasan, so thought that might be it. It was so much easier to be a "native Texan".....
