 SPPYDERQUEST
Took a ride over to Lake George to check out the event. Only able to go today.....commitments for the rest of the week.
Well, I checked out the vendors....not many, but those who were there were selling big ticket items. No junk here....just GOOD STUFF that you can use. Anyway, I checked out Ultimate Seats and saw a nice one...and my wife wanted arm rests to match. Couldn't decide....didn't really want to spend the money just now, but I realize that next year it'll cost more. So we went into town for lunch and to think it over. Then on the way back to the event, I stopped for gas. I asked my wife to pump it while I went in to get a scratch ticket......only had $10 in the wallet, so I bought two $5 tickets. One was a looser and the other one was good for 500 bucks.
Got the seat, armrest and had a lzser alignment to boot !!! The alignment is fantastic !!!
Got home tonight and found out that I won another $250 in the Vermont 2nd chance lottery !!!
A good time was had by all !!!!

Congrats on the win. How is the seat? And does the laser alignment make a significant difference in the Sypder's handling?

The seat is nice......better than stock, but the backrest is GREAT !!!
As far as the alignment......I believe that having it done is probably the most effective improvement you can do to your Spyder.
I purchased a "dealer demo" with 1,000 or so miles on it. I wasn't really pleased with the new ride, and wished that I hadn't sold my Goldwing. But....I have to live with my decisions. Even yesterday, riding over to New York, I noticed that my shoulders ached a bit. After having it aligned, I took the long way home...about 160 miles, and immediately noticed that everything felt smoother....I could relax better, and .....it's tough to explain, but when taking the curves at speed, I kept making "mid course corrections"....kind of weaving side to side (minutely) while in the corners. Well, all that disappeared. Taking the curves at speed is as smooth as silk. Even my wife noticed the difference, as in her position as a passenger, she felt the side to side motion even more than mine. It just feels good.
I watched the alignment process, and when he put the laser on the wheels, with the handlebars straight ahead, the front tires were off by about an inch and a half. The tech said that my wheels were aiming left while I was steering straight, and causing the tires to "scrub". The alignment cost $130., and was well worth it.

It can be tough to attract vendors to an event where everyone is (hopefully!) out riding all day.
I'd like to think that a delicate balance is being found... and with the talented folks who plan this great event; it will only continue to improve! 
Lake George is beautiful Bob.Been going there since my kids could walk and still go there once or twice a year.
Most people asked last year about shorter rides and more vendors.
There was more new registrations then returnees.
Why???
