I went to Dauphin Island, Alabama for a medical conference and decided since the Spyder needed some miles I would take her. except for the battery dying after I walked away with the key turned on, she performed flawlessly!! I learned some things about her and got to appreciate her much better. I filled the trailer because I was unsure of the weather in either direction and turns out I was right.....I had shorts and heated gear!! It was a great trip....learned a lot and had a wonderful time on the bike!! prior to the trip, I modified the GPS stand so I could see it better......I am 6'3......I will post it soon! I love long rides and this one will certainly go down and one of the best!!
