    Default I have gone and done it......

    This morning I said goodbye to my trusted BMW K1200LT and Unigo trailer. I like the RT-S SE5 so much that I didn't seem to have the need to hang onto it! I love not having to worry about things like balance and now my wife will ride with me!! It's Spyder Time!

    I don't think my BMW R1100RTP is far behind. I love it, but I just don't ride it much anymore.

    I felt much the same when our last GoldWing sold. Now 23K miles later, no regrets. Oh, and not to hijack but my own trailer pics coming soon.

    Larry,
    Does that mean you'll be picking up the breakfast tab at the June 3rd meeting? If the answer is 'Yes' I'll start fasting now!

    Welcome. I know what you mean about the wife. I had a HD Road King and my wife called it a murder cycle. I managed to get her on it a few times, but that was all. I sold it. Now that I have a spyder, she is already planning on a bunch of places that we can ride. I told her that I wanted to ride to Spyderfest next year. She said great, but that maybe we should trailer the spyder there and ride once we get there. The trip is over 800 miles and she isn't sure that she can last 800 miles on the spyder. I told her we would take smaller trips before Spyderfest to see if she can handle it.

    Congratulations.
    I to had the K1200LT, a 1999 and then a 2005. Great bikes. But the Spyder will be so much easier to handle, and not deal with those unruly parking lot maneuvers on the BMW. I then progressed to the GL1800 in 2007. Now a Spyder on Thursday! I'm really looking forward to more "carefree" riding. I bet my wife will be driving the Spyder.

    Default Larry's buying breakfast?

    Bob, guess I'll start fasting too, if Larry is buying! What a guy Larry is to spend that BMW money on his new Spyder friends! See you both on June 3rd.

    Congratulations, my 2012 Limited is it, traded my GL1800 and a new V-Strom, so far so good, can't see paying insurance on a two wheeler to sit in the garage. The Spyder is so comfortable and relaxing I don't want to ride on two wheels...
