I'm home !!!!!!!

That thing looks like a tank.:joke:

My gut feeling was that you would end up with an RT. It just makes sense with all the long rides you go on. You can always pick up a good used RS that somebody is desperate to get rid of for a good price. If Some Girl gets her way I know where you could get a really nice yellow one with a Corbin seat and other goodies.

Nice looking ride Dan, I am sure you will enjoy the crap out of it.:thumbup:

SM... no performance stuff other than Elka's ..... a MUST have on any Spyder in my opinion........


Anyone know off the top of your head if the RT uses the same oil filters???

Time for an oil change already.....:thumbup:

:congrats: on the new Spyder, Dan
Lamont posted this on the filters a couple weeks ago. As far as I know, the RS and the RT use the same engine oil filter.

Very nice Dan, just not a picture I expected to see. Hope you enjoy the "minivan of Spyders" :roflblack: You might as well crank that thing up for a ride to Spyders in the Redwoods so we can see it in person. Enjoy.

 

[Tigger]

Congrats!!!!! Enjoy the ride!!!!!!!

I'm still climbing my way up to the 50 mark.....(I'm 46)... but I like to think I'm still in my 30's... I act like I am 12 most the time.......

To be honest, I was a bit concerned what my GF would think of it... I don't need any more reminders that I'm considerably older than she is....

But in the end.. I decided to buy what I liked and to heII with what anyone thinks about it. (and after she saw the pics after I made my choice... she likes it too.... whew!).

I'm really happy with my choice.... can't get over how smooth a ride it is!!!
