    Default I Think I've Lost My Mind

    When I started reading SLs about a year ago, I thought people who drove long distance for a trike were out of their minds. I just couldn't believe that "home" dealers were that bad. This past May I had extensive surgery on my left arm and hand. I began a serious search for a '14 SE6/RTS. I tried to stay "local"; but that turned up nothing. Talked to a couple of neighboring stat dealers; but did not have much luck negotiating over the phone. On a whim, I call and talked to Len @Pitbill. I told my wife that this is where I'm going to buy my Spyder. I have now joined those that I thought were out of their minds. 500 miles/8 hours one way. This will be a mini vacation proposition. I think I'm headed for a home, as my wife says.
    How many on this forum have bought from Pitbull?

    Default Good for you

    From the reactions of the previous posters, this sounds as though you have made an important first step in the right direction.

    Sure will be nice to read about your ride home... ;-)

    Post your pics??

    In March I traded my '10 RTS for my '14 RTS se6 (Lamonster certified edition) with Len at Pitbull. I had the "cat delete' pipe installed at Spyderfest. Monday I'm heading to Springfield for a Tuesday (1st service) appointment. Hopefully, Wednesday I will be heading to Nivita, Ok. to pick up my trailer that I bought from mini trailer USA.
    It will take me about 8 hours to get to Springfield and another 2 hours to pick up the trailer and then return home.

    1. What is a "Lamont Certified Edition"?
    2. What else is on your Spyder

    Default Good to see

    that you are becoming a Spyder owner via Pitbull Powersports. Mike now if you are going to go for everything before you pick up your new Ryde just tell Lamont and Len you want everything that Murphybrown put on her new '14.......I warned you I'm a salesman's delight. But realllllly not sure which of the mods I would eliminate....I love and use them all....cup holder never never could X that...cat bypass?..nope; laser alignment..and swaybar and the list goes on. PLUS those TricLEDS that I absolutely could not live without...3rd brake light, ring of fire, replace those reflectors with LED's...oh my and the on and on....Then when you get that all done..besure and increase your insurance coverage to cover the farkling!!!
    Congrats..stop by WalMart and buy some debugger...your teeth will need!!!! (Perma grin as you ryde on)..

    You'll be happy with Pitbull. Whatever extras you want, let them know and they'll have it on the Spyder by the time you get there!!



    Be sure to post some pics!!

    I would say you found your right mind You picked a very good dealer who cares about their customers. And as the Visa ad goes " PRICELESS"
