A very special thank you

[paulbrinker]

I want to give a special thank you to Chico and Karen, and Gary and Gina from Omaha, NE. These are friends we met and made at Spyderfest 2014 & 2015. They invited us to visit them and they planned and executed a fantastic adventure for my wife and I. We left North Carolina on our 2012 RT Limited and took 4 days to ride to Omaha. There, they allowed us to stay with them and with Gary and Gina in the lead, we left Omaha and proceeded to Rapid City, SD. We toured the Bad Lands, Spearfish, Wall Drug Store, Mt. Rushmore, The Wind Caves, Custer State Park, Deadwood, Sturgis(a week and a half before bike week), and rode the Needles Highway and the Iron Mountain Road twice. We spent a week touring and returned to Omaha, where Chico and Karen hosted a party, in our honor, where we met some of there friends and fellow Spyder Riders. My wife and I will remember this trip and the friendship and hospitality that these four amazing people extended to us. The words thank you just seem inadequate for this entire experience.

On a side note, this round trip was 4402 miles and the Spyder performed without a hitch. We now have 32200 on our Spyder and could not be happier with the way it ran. I also need to thank Plyrod 38 for the gas can mode. It got us to the next gas station twice during this trip.

We are already looking forward to our next adventure.

Gas can mode

Riding is always better with friends, glad you had a good and safe trip.
Gas can mode, WELL, you press that little button on the left grip and you get free gas, duuuuuu. I figured everyone knew that. But it only works on some bikes.

It's a great feature, but it does have a down-side. You can only use it 4 times every 12 months. If you forget and press it a 5th time, the Spyder goes into permanent limp mode and you cannot reset it until the 12 months are up. :sour:

Gas can Mode

OK folks, I can clear this up.

I fabricated a gas can rack that mounts on the tongue of the RT-622 trailer and it holds a two gallon gas can. I built one for Paul and one for me. We used them on the trip to Spyderfest for the first time and they worked out pretty well.

Still working on the magic button for in flight refueling

As long as that magic button is on your cellphone; have it speed-dial your local KC 135 tanker! :thumbup:

It's not true?

So there really is no gas mode button? SAY IT AINT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

[Plyrod38]

I think it might be the 1330's that have the "button". My V-twin doesn't....yet.
