A milestone for us !

I know this is NOT a big deal for many of you, but for us, it is a fantastic accomplishment, given the limited free time we have had over the last 7 years to accomplish it.

On Sept. 12, 2021, at 1:14PM, the Spyder Odometer turned over to 50,000 miles

Sweet!

**cruisinTX** · 09-13-2021, 08:30 AM

50K on any mode of transportation that is on the adventurous side is commendable. Since I started riding motorcycles in 1968, I have observed a moment of silence each time I see the next 10K roll up on the odometer. The first time that happened, a friend and I were on Honda CB 350s and at the crest of La Veta Pass in southern Colorado on about August 6th or 7th. I'm pretty sure I got pictures of that but they have long since been misplaced. Now-a-days I still do the moment of silence for the 10Ks and try to do a bit of a photo shoot for the bigger ones like 50K and 100K.

I have now had 46 10K moments, 4 50K and 2 100K photo stops--life with knees in the breeze is good.

The point of all that rhetoric is to say keep up with it all as there will come a time when all you have are photos and memories.

Congratulations on achieving your milestone miles!!

Doesn't matter that others might've done more, the point is that YOU TWO have achieved a significant milestone for you on your Spyder, and it's something that not all Spyder Ryders get to achieve either - or too many riders of those lesser 2-wheeled jobbies for that matter!

Good on you both, and here's to you seeing more of whatever milestones you set your mind to!

&

again (only cos I couldn't find the champagne...

)

Lots of SMILES with those MILES, that’s what counts! It doesn’t matter how long it takes as long as the SMILES keep happening! Congrats on turning 50!

A feat that not many are able to accomplish.

We have not yet reached it on a single Spyder. 45K has been my tops (on the 2014 RTS).

Way to go. Enjoy!!!

Thanks. History is the same for now. Wouldn't trade the Q's for anything......except I did just get my NEW Quatrac REAR ....to be installed at next annual service this fall

2 fronts (Old Q5) still look VERY GOOD !

**UtahPete** · 09-13-2021, 02:11 PM

Then you’d better put 30k more on that spyder in the next 2 years and I can say congrats on turning 80! Now if that’s not an insensitive then I don’t know what is

**PANDA81** · 09-13-2021, 09:42 PM

Congrats, may you have millions more miles of open road adventures

**Whiz11** · 09-14-2021, 02:16 PM

No question about it !

The Spyder won't even leave the garage without her !

It just sits and idles it's time away

**missouriboy** · 09-20-2021, 03:43 PM

Congrats on all that fun! You've had the same amount as me, since 2 people have enjoyed 50K each! (I'll roll up 100K before I have to buy more gas. And I turned 82 last Saturday.)

So keep on keeping on having more Spyder fun. I plan to!
