I came in to STL and had a really nice Sean(?) waiting to take me to Cuba. When I got there I was met with some of the nicest folks I could ever want to do business with. Rick showed me my new rideand then gave a quick hands-on with it. I stepped into the office with Sara to complete the transaction. There's so much more to the visit than what I'm covering here, but suffice it to say it didn't take free t-shirts and bungees for me to be grateful for the experience. and they gave me a good deal on the 3 year B.E.S.T warranty.
After a couple of test runs behind the dealership, I took off down the interstate towards Joplin. The 1st 100 miles were tiring because I was really fighting the Spyder going down the road. I finally relaxed my grip (I know, rookie stuff, right) and then the ride turned downright enjoyable. I originally had intention to just go down to the next town and find a room for the night. I just kept riding and riding, and by the time I came into Joplin, I was almost disappointed it was time to stop. I'm here with some cousins for a couple days, but I'm looking forward to getting back on the road heading South.
I was looking at some scenic rides in Arkansas and saw several loops had Hwy 7 in common. It looks like a tight back road that might be nice to ride. It runs north to south through the whole state. Is it a decent ride?
When I get back to riding, I'll do my best to keep up here.

:welcome:.............you have picked the best family owned dealership to get your :spyder2:. Hope your ryde back to NOLA was safe, enjoyable, and uneventful.
