    I think I would rather poke a needle in my eye than ride in Manhattan! I wonder if you had a yellow RT if people would mistake it for a taxi.

    I drove into Manhattan 6 days a week for 30+ years, Nothing to it, Just stay ahead of the Cabs or you'll have a lot of yellow paint added to your ride.
    But why Sunday? you may want to go midday/midweek when the City is alive and jumping.!
    Park [rising wolf garage] and walk around a little, Especially Times Square.

    I'm a (really) small town person, and therefore inexperienced and subsequently afraid of lots of traffic while driving. However, I feel an affinity for the NYC life. I think I would like to experience that for a while. Crazy - yup, probably.

    In any regard, if I could trailer my Spyder to the designated start point and trailer it off, it would be awesome.for me to drive through NYC I would love it

    Riding in the city is a breeze I have done it many times and yes I have a BRIGHT yellow and no one tried to jump on take lots of photos yes they did even one cop did. When are you thinking of the ride, maybe I might be well enough to make it.

    That sounds like a real adventure. There is safety in numbers though. I am a little to far away so cannot join the party.

    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.
