Anyway we did make it home. After we left you we made it as far as Ritzville before the wife said you have had enough. Something about the tone of vioce and hauling my behind to ER made me park it for the night.
As for the sensior that Roundy's found. I figured out what it was Sunday when I put on the old cruise control. You guessed it. It was the speed sensior.
If you are still interested in a Spyder rally our open weekend dates are August 6, 7, and 8. Or September 3, 4,and 5. Give me a yell back and I will start a new thread to see if we can make something happen. thanks-lew
Hi Lew, So glad you stopped in Ritzville and got a good nites rest. I was planning to riding to Ritzville with you but I forgot to fuel up the nite before and my light came on just as I got out of town near the Petro. Did you notice all the attention the 3 of us was gettting going thru town to the freeway. I know we only had 3 Spyders, but for Spokane, that's the most (I think) people in that town has seen at one time.LOL...Wish we could have had more. The August dates look good to me, do you think we have enough time to put this together by then? The Sept. dates also work for me and might be better for a few reasons. Gives us time to reserve motel rooms farther in advance and know how many to reserve. Gives other riders more time to make their reservations too. I do like the Wenatchee site idea we were talking about. More center of the state and let's other riders travel about the same distance. Maybe we could get some others from Oregon, Idaho, Canada and maybe even northern Utah to make it up. Wouldn't that be cool...Get back to me with your thoughts about this. Happy and safe ryding for both you and your wife, Richard....

Hi Troy, Did you know that some of us are trying to get a Meet going in Wenatchee on the 3rd-5th of September. Would you be able to attend this? I think it would be nice to add some of our pics of a Spyder event here in Wa. State. on here. We are kind of the lost children way up north here compared to the rest of the US. Hopefully we can have a good turnout. Anytime you're up for a ryde, I'm always available on weekends. Can also meet you halfway if that works.

another one
I just bought my wife a '10 cruiser --- northside of spokane. thank God spring is just around the corner! I took part in the transporting of the 9/11 steel gurters that went from C'd.A to Post Falls, to Stateline, and hopefully will come full circle to go to Springdale in Sept to see the unveiling of the memorial. Will be on the Spyder for that one!

Dealer Info
This may be off the subject but can anyone give me some input about the Dealer in spokane?? I really want a new RT S. I have found that a new product us usually not much better than what the dealer support is.
thanks

Sorry I cannot help you with the Dealer in Spokane. Having never personally worked with them to know. I can say this though. I know of two RT Owners that had stopped using them last year and bring their RT's to Clem's in Enumclaw.
May not be the answer you are looking for. But I can say with 100% confidence that Clem's has one of the best Service department teams I have ever worked with. And I mean that as seriously as I can be.
In my youth, I used to race, and know a lot of mechanics (Even one of the late Dale Earnhardt's Engine builders for an example). And can say fir Spyders. They are the team I trust fully.
I drive 45 minutes one way to them and never think twice about it. Granted that is nothing compared to coming from Spokane.
If you decide to call on Clem's for sales... Ask for Corey by name and tel him that Doug (Me) or 3Wheels sent you. Good down to earth people is the attitude there...
For Service ask for Jeff
Good luck!

Roundys of Spokane
My wife and I have had our Spyders serviced by Roundys several times. Last Junemy wife had her Spyder at Roundys due to the lost of her computer for power steering. When she would ask about it she was told the parts were on back order. The end of July she ended up picking up her machine and taking it so SK Northwest down in Portland. SK put on the phone with Carlos (?) of BRP. Parts were delivered and she was back on the road within a week.
Shumates here in Kennewick was purchase and reopened as Ratlesnake Mountain Harley and has pickup the BRP dealership. Talking with the service manager it seems that they will offer full Spyder service. He did mention something about they were sending their Spyder techs somewhere to get them certified. Anyway, hopes this helps some. thanks-redneck

Spokane dealer
I ended up buying a plain RT from Lynwood. They delivered it here right to my house free. (280 miles or so) I started out at Roundy's but they have a strange attitude towards the plain RTs and refuse to order them. The sales guy said he had some in the past and had trouble selling them. The Mt. Vernon guy says he has recently sold 12 RTs. I did not want any higher model because I would just have to toss the audio to put in my own head unit, amp, sub and speakers, headphone jacks, etc. Since Roundy's would not get me the model I wanted, I wrote a check to Lynwood. Kinda short sighted if ya ask me... I am coming up on the 600 mile service and will give Roundy's another shot at taking my money. The next nearest dealer for me is in the Tri-cities.
I would be up for a ride but I am not into large groups. I am a full-time telecommuter and can arrange a ride pretty much any weekend.

That's good news! Out of curiousity, did you already have the rear suspension kit or did you buy it at the same time as the service? I would like to do the same mod.
-
The kit was part of the deal when I purchased the RT as was the 600 mile service. Rather than installing it at the time of purchase I chose to let them do it later when they were doing the service. that way they only had to remove all the tupperware once.

I live just SW of Portland and am looking for summer rides. I'm pretty felxible (time wise) and would love to do some rides. Bothe sides of the Columbia Gorge are beautiful. Will be in the Seattle area the last weekend of July for the Bellevue art Festival. Could do something before or after.
