    Default Looking for someone?

    I know this is a far fetch but I’ll try. I am looking for a gentleman that I believe lived in Texas, drove a 2017 (Blue) RT chrome limited in the badlands in the summer of 2018 between July 10-14. I believe he said he was a retired marine or Air Force. I can’t remember but I know he was in the arm forces. He had a cup holder on the the left handlebar that “swiveled” rather than a solid spyder cup and new front tires. He does his traveling on the spyder in the summer and his wife does the cruises in the fall. She’s not a 2 up fan if I remember for very long rides. You talked to a guy (Me) with a red F250 on the side of the road just before the education center on the left. I believe you had a pull behind trailer at a campground but that I can’t remember and you wanted to buy an F3 but they weren’t available yet. You wanted a White RT but got the Blue instead. I have a picture for you. My wife fell in love with the RT that day! I was going thought our digital camera downloading all the Picts off the disc onto the hardrive and we found a picture of your bike parked. I asked you to pull your spyder in front of my truck to get an awesome picture of the sunset with your spyder and my truck and the dunes behind. Then some guy in a white car pulled in an ruined the perfect picture. Who are you?

    The spyder I’m looking for looks just like your picture little blue. It’s a long shot finding him after 3 summers but my wife an I laughed last night when we saw the picture of the spyder and my truck. He was so excited to explain the great things about the new RT versus the old ones. I also remember his side saddle bag hatch was sticking so he had to push it in to pop it open. He was also so pissed that he had to follow some Harley's for a long time and couldn’t hear his music. My wife had seen them before but that blue changed here feeling immediately. She said go ahead get that one! I told my wife I’d try to get in contact. Funny how 5 minutes sticks in your memory. We never really even talked about it over the last 3 years and poof a picture brings back a quick memory. We bought one that fall (2018). She loved that blue till she saw it dirty then metallic grey it was since we couldn’t find champagne in chrome.
