    Default Been awhile since I been here

    As always Summer flew by but the riding was great today! As many of you can testify there is continuous interest in the Spyder. Had another funny one today I tought I would share. Pulled up to a stop light with a van on my left waiting to turn left. While sitting there the passenger rolled down her window and yelled "Why don't you get a real bike" My first thought while looking at her was why don't you get a set of teeth but instead I opted for "it is!" as the light was turning green for both of us. She said "is it a Harley?" and as I cranked the trottle and burned out with squeeling rear tire as I said "No!"
    This is all I saw LOL I love this machine!

    Update on my Brain Cancer still fighting and hanging in there. Tried several different drugs through the summer finally have one started this week that I can tolerate. Was given 8 to 12 months back in 4/06 still going strong!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Thanks! I really wanted to join your BBQ next week really gave it a hard thought for the last couple weeks. But a full time job right now is keeping me busy. There will come a time when I will get to meet this fine group of Ryders!

    Sending many good vibes that you'll continue to beat cancer.

    That person's comment would have pissed me off. Real bike indeed. And she's a passenger in a van. I would have asked her "What do you ride?"
