    Default One More Time

    Hi All.
    I decided to get a fresh Spyder. My 2014 had been very reliable, and was ready for the road this year.
    But I just needed to treat myself. So I tried something "new to me".

    I called and talked to Jason at Imotorsports. They had screaming good deals on a couple 2017 carryovers.
    So I selected a pretty Champaign Metallic RT S SE6.
    Painless process, worked out a trade deal, so a short time later, at my address in the sticks,truck and enclosed trailer
    pull up with the new Spyder.

    The 2017 had I few "rethought" items, that I really appreciate. Like the shorter sturdier antennae. and the frame work behind the windshield is now black instead of goofy grey.
    AND of course it starts like it should. (the really sore point with the 2014)
    I have an F4 customs windshield coming, and a truly custom Corbin seat. I was surprised how many seat makers idea of custom is
    maybe colors or stitching.

    It's set to tow, and I'm going to.
    So Good On Imotorsports. Everyone I dealt with there was courteous and professional. The kind of people we want to do business with.
    I know, I know... pictures... soon I promise.
    See you all on the asphalt this year. Ron

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Why would you get a new Spyder just to tow it?

    When iMotorsports put a post on here about reducing prices on leftover 2017's I couldn't resist but inquire about trading my Victory Vision for a 2017 F3L. Within a matter of minutes Jason came back to me asking some questions and a short time later I had an email with a bill of sale. All of a sudden I'm just waiting for delivery. Soon to be a 2 Spyder family.

    Let the race begin . I spoke with Jason last Friday and mine was assembled last Wednesday and due to be shipped on Monday the 30th. Haven't heard anything final yet. Getting anxious though.
