    My first one was called "The octagon".
    My new one is called "Dr. Kenneth Noisewater".

    Let's see who gets this.......

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Even though my new spyder has a custom plate that says TRYSYKL I am naming it "darth".
    It's black and has that Darth Vader look

    I'm always looking.... ;-).

    Ideally I'd like another 2008 GS that I can rat out for around town and just keep the RT for trips....

    But that new black colored ST is really sharp.

    My first bike (RS) was named Orbit, as it was the Orbital Blue. My current bike (RT) is named 52, as I bought it ten days before my 52nd birthday.

    And no, it was not a birthday present.
    Is it Friday yet? ... Oh yeah, I forgot. I'm retired

    Past bikes
    2010 RS - Sold

    BluSpyderByte I've been bitten and there is no cure!
    If you are a Geocacher you can 'discover' it as it has a Travel Bug sticker attached.
    So does the 'Ooogly Trailer'.
