    Default AND HERE SHE IS!!

    Meet Champagne Dream, our new 2017 RT-S. As soon as my wife saw this Spyder-granted at 11pm Friday night-she instantly said "that bike is female, and her name is "Champagne Dream." So who am I, a lowly husband to argue with that? We to a 200+ mile ride today up to Great Barrington, MA for lunch at Baba Louie', a really great place for sourdough crust pizza and other good stuff as well. So, as promised, some pics.

    Lookin' good!

    That colour really does look good, especially with the 'just a touch of chrome' thing it has going - the only concern I have with it is that I hafta hide these Pics from the Missus, she likes the colour/chrome mix enough to want to upgrade Spyders!

    Congratulations, and My wife said my spyder should be named "Lucile", so that is her name. After 29 years I guess a happy wife is a happy life.
