    Default Murphy's Law

    Murphy’s Law

    2011 Pure Magnesium Metallic/ Black and a new owner

    I took possession of my Re~Gifted late Friday Dec 7, 2012

    1. I ordered in one of BahaRon’s thermal jump suits, according to my sizes I sent him, Ron suggested and sent one to me.. TOO SMALL. I had to buy a new set of thermals ($260.00 later) for the first leg of my 1,300 mile trip to Fort Worth.
    2. Park City, Utah Saturday Dec 8 ~ 8:00 AM started snowing
    3. A few hours later 10 miles down the mountain at 30 MPH finally out of the snow.
    4. SOLDIER SUMMIT, Utah Highway 6,cold and snowing, off the road for an hour to warm up and snow to stop.
    5. Highway 40, Cubero to Albuquerquehigh cross winds and tumbleweeds, Where’s my BajaRon Super Duper Ant~SwayBar!!! Spyer Rockn N Rollin being tossed around as much as 8 Degrees tilt from the cross winds.
    5. Moriarty, New Mexico snowed out,off the road again spending the night Dec. 10
    6. What’s next? I hope for an uneventful cruze to Fort Worth, Texas tomorrow.

    On the lighter side of things, mySpyder is running marvelous! Starts, runs and drives superb. Looking forward to a few more Mods.

    More to come!!
    Pictures when I can learn how to attach and stories of the over all journey to Oregon.

    Default Quite a story

    You had your share of new owners snow cycle, maybe should have purchased a skidoo. Only rode my Spyder in it once, handled well but rear end quite skittish. Enjoy the rest of the ride in better conditions. I just returned from Shenzhen last night. May head back before CNY on another project so I will spend the next few weeks ryding.

    Yep, the news said it was only the second time in history that Dallas had snow on the ground before Chicago.
