    Default I'm done with the spyder

    IMG_1270.jpg

    I just reach a point where i can't do anything else to the spyder without crossing the line where one more stuff will look bad. I install an aerocharger, paint it black, every matte black plastic is now carbon fiber, 15 in wheels, black powder coated pegs, rear wheel and handle bar cover and a lot of blue ligthgs, among other things. I need a new proyect.

    looks good I would be very happy with what you have and just ride.

    However its your ride and are your sure your've finished?, lights, stretch it, fuel tank up front.

    Get together with Mr Orange I'm sure he can send you a few pointers.

    I am betting that you can still find something that will appeal to you. I am still buying stuff and I have said I am done--many times now.

    I have the comfort seat on order for akspyderlady's rig now.

    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.

    Maybe it's good that we have Winter up here... Us "Olpharts" forget where we rode from one season to the next, so we're always finding new places to ryde.

    200 miles in Puerto Rico = 2.5 days of riding!

    Lived there for 25 years. You can't go half a mile without being on a traffic jam or a stop light.
