Christmas Day, saw a metallic color RT driving down our street honking like crazy. Santa was on the passenger seat! Didn't get outside in time to wave or talk to them! But made me smile!

I’m in Kona Hawaii for a short vacation.
On Sunday I saw an F3 at Palani and Hawaii Belt Road.
Today there was an Rt near Waikoloa Beach Road and Queen M’s Highway.
Am I ever jealous.

A friend of mine lent me a new book he had bought; "Norway's Best MC Tours" and said I would be interested in one page at least.
So I started reading and there it was, a very familiar Spyder RTS 2012 and my wife standing beside it!
As there are not too many Spyders in Norway people come to ask us about the Spyder wherever we stop for a short rest on our rides. Many take pictures and obviously some people work for magazines.
Text under picture says, "Motorcyclists are friendly people. This couple was happy to show us their pretty three-wheeler!"

Was in Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse area this week and encountered quite a few Spyders on the road. Good to see so many out and about the country. Unfortunately, I was not on mine as we are on a 42 day road trip around the States and the wife was not up to that many days on the Spyder.

My shop manager, Daniel, has been out and about on vacation with his wife. Visited Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Deadwood, & Jackson Hole, just to name a few stops. He said he's seen a good number of Spyders. Some that he recognized as having been to our shop. It's good to know that you're out there having fun.
He's got my F-250 and a 32' travel trailer. He's having a Great Time!
Saw 2 Fellow Spyder Ryders out Yesterday, on an Orange RT at an overlook turnout on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Looked like husband and wife. Beautiful day for a ride! But when you have grandchildren, a car works better. Grandson (2 years old) was very impressed with your Spyder.
Saw you again on Main St. in Blowing Rock near the Mellow Mushroom (Great Pizza - Expensive Pizza)
Surprisingly, we didn't see many Spyders out yesterday.

Today, I saw several Spyders on Route 105 in Vermont.
I also saw 7 T-Rex's, plus (2) two Spyders which were in front of them on Route 105 in Vermont. This was in the afternoon.
