    Default Spyderless

    Had to take the GS in for some much needed attention. Dropped it off at Artic Adventure yesterday. Guess I'll be doing more fishing than ryding.

    Hang in there; Bro!
    Perhaps you can get your physician to prescribe some heavy duty sleeping pills:

    You might just as well tell Tom to work you up some numbers on a new bike!

    Funny you should mention that..My wonderful wife of 26 years met me there so i could get back home. And I introduced her to Tom. And the F3..lol! But, the upgrade will have to wait. Still have one in college.

    Your Spyder could not be in better hands. Tom is an honest, upright person who will go way out of his way to make sure that his customers are well taken care of and happy. Buck, a technician there is a top notch wrencher. They do all of my service, and I couldn't be happier. And, if you DO want that new Spyder, Tom will make you a good deal. My experience with college kids (two of them) is that their bank is the Bank Of Mom And Dad. Make yours get a different bank account (The Bank OF Grandma & Grandpa?) and buy the F3. If you're gonna be writing checks, it might as well be for a new toy for you & the missus.

    I hate fishing.
    Went fly fishing in Montana many years ago with my son and it was cool but fishing is generally boring.
    Thought I'd share my insightful thoughts....lol.

    I kind of agree.

    Default Lol!

    You guys..lol
    I use fishing, and be out in nature, as a way to deal with my brain injury that I suffered in 2001. At the time I was healthy, working a job that I loved, and nearly lost my life. So being fishing and the outdoors was a constant before my accident, it is the one thing I am still lucky enough to do. Kinda like my Spyder. I was sure riding was gone. But, I am fortunate enough to have found the Spyder. And trust me, if you went to just some of these United States that I have visited to fish, in the company I am lucky to call my friends, I'm pretty sure you would have a great time. Heck, I might even buy the first adult beverage!!

    Default Spyderless

    I understand the Spyderless thing.

    Four weeks ago tomorrow I hit a deer and now I am not sure when I get it back.

    Still have my Gold Wing but it is not the same.
