RT-S PE#783
So, How ya'll doing out there in Spyder land?
After a few years of just maintaining my wife's Spyder along with a couple of motorcycles, my enthusiasm for my wife's RS is back. In the year 2010 we bought an RT because I was having an issue holding her up on my bike (due to a peg leg and a worn out knee on the other side). The down side was our big city dealer was not up to speed on the issues like the STEERING issue, or other things that anyone who rode a motorcycle for decades would notice. In time, my then new wife, started riding the RT in parking lots just for fun. . . . then an RS came into the picture. These machines are exotic and unique, and the sight of one on the road still makes us happy. We live in rural southern Oregon, the nearest dealer is almost 70 miles away. Spyder lovers is always a wealth of information, and finally our dealer started reading what was going on. Thanks to Lamont for starting this site and thanks to ya'll for your input and love of these 3 wheeled freaks! People ask me: "what's it handle like"? I say, like a friggin cutting horse with a rocket up it's butt!

It’s been rainy & chilly on Long Island. We already had our first snow storm for the season, way too early. Weather man said our temperature has been about 10 degrees lower than normal for this time of year. But my Spyder has been in the shop over a week, so I’m hoping it clears up when I get her back. I’m planning some upgrades so I’ll just work on the Spyder when we have bad weather this winter. Now I’m trying to find a good adjustable electric screwdriver (drill) so I can remove all the Tupperware easier. Can’t seem to find a good, small, adjustable, rechargeable screwdriver. Think I’m gonna start w Magic Mirrors and the new belt roller from Lamont. That roller looks awesome.
Have a great day all. I’ll be staring at my phone all day, hoping dealer calls. Lol.

Finally getting cooler down here in the deeeep south. Planning my New Year's ride to Central Florida. Love my Spyder. I feel it has added years to my riding. Thanks for asking.

LMAO, cutting horse with a rocket..... best analogy I've heard yet. Too funny, just picturing it.
Can't think of how many times I've said "Like a sled (snowmobile or snow machine depending on your location) on hardpacked snow", or like a quad.

I use "Like a rocket sled on rails" a whole lot! Especially since the ECU Upgrade!

We are doing just fine in the mountains above Reno,Nv. The RTS is put up for the winter as winter is about to hit us. Snow blower pushing and skiing ( 2 days so far) ---- keeps me young. I may ski like an old man---- just try to keep up.

I left the Portland Oregon area and headed sound for the winter. I don't have my Spyder, but have other things, (music)to keep me happy here. I'll be ready to see my Spyder when I return in April. BTW, my sho is still up and running.
Ride in comfort,
John
