    Hey Mark, I liked you more when you were Flamingbabes lover. It had a ring to it. I know what it is like to give up the Harley.

    ( I know it,s Flamingobabe not Flamingbabes, but it has a certain ring to it don't you think?)

    You will eventually learn to love the Spyder too.

    I am pretty sure you already know this about the 1330/3. Early oil change and filter cannot hurt though.

    First service is around 3,000 miles. Then, 9,000 or so later (12,000) then, 9,500 or once a year--whichever comes first. An improvement over the twin cylinder 998's.

    I have read that.. but I'm sure I will keep to my 5000 mile oil changes.. It will be good on a long trip not to have to change mid trip!!!

    Flamingobabe: I remember you from the VRCC. I've said this before, it's amazing how many Valkyrie owners have bought Spyders.
