    Those first rides are always great. When I was in Alaska, it was always a wait for that to happen.

    The picture on the bottom right is Hatcher Pass in June.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    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.

    Nelson, good to hear you made it through the winter. I got the old Spyder out last weekend for her first ride. She ran great. Sue and i went for a ride yesterday. We rode over to Taco Bell in Skowhegan and then did a little shopping at Tractor Supply. Did not have to wait in any lines. Then down the East River road to Fairfield. Then home via route 100/11. How is your Spyder running? Keep in touch. Your cell phone number still the same? Bruce

    Yes my cell is the same. I rode Saturday for the first time with some peoples from Newport one of them has a new Spyder, we went to Wiscasset for a Lobster roll and the place named Reds was close so we found another place and I had a lobster roll with a beer, it was take out only and they give you the beer in a paper bag, and we ate at a picnic table far away from everybody. This is what summer suppose to be. 249 miles round trip. Winter was good I rode snowmobile 4000 miles. Bottom line I am having fun. Retirement is Fantastic. Nelson

    Lol, glad you are having fun on your retirement. Sue and I met 3 Spyders in St. Albans and a F3 in Canaan. I am working this weekend. We need to get together. Sue and i planned on doing Skyline drive and the BRP parkway this June. But we will not be able go if restaurants and motels are not open by then. We planned on spending 2 weeks in that area. We have our fingers crossed. I believe the border is still closed, so going to Canada is a no go. Bruce

    If you do make the trip, let me know maybe I can meet you some where along the way so I can say Hello to some fellow Mainers. I'm about 1 1/2 hours north of Front Royal Va. (The Start of the Sky Line Drive)

    CopperSpyder, thanks for the invite. Will do if we go. This will be our first time in that area. What part of Maine do you hail from? Bruce
