Lamonster
SpyderLovers Founder
I've been on the fence for a long time wanting another two wheeler. My first choice would be a 600hp V8Chopper but I don't have a spare $90K and it's just not good for much other than looking cool and going really really fast in a straight line. I love the bike but can't bring myself to getting one unless the deal of a lifetime fell in my lap.
My next choice is the Victory Cross Country. I love the looks of that bike and they did a lot of things right with it. I have yet to talk to an uphappy owner of one. Not sure why I haven't pulled the trigger on one other than I would rather spend the money on a ST Spyder.
I still love my M109R and plan on going through it and giving it a facelift. It's a great bike with a couple of issues like any other bike but it's a real stump puller and like the Spyder it turns heads where ever you go. Pretty sure I'm keeping that one for now. Got way too much money in that one.
My roots on this whole internet clubs and message boards thing started with the Honda Valkyrie back in 1997. That's when I evolved from welder/fabricator to bike builder/webmaster. I was very passionate about that bike and like the bike the internet was pretty new and I happened to get in on the start of it and was able to accidentally make a living doing what I love.
Many of the folks here remember me from my Valkyrie days and I really haven't been this excited about a Honda since the Valkyrie. As I was explaining to a friend, some bikes I love right away when I look at them, not many but some. Others I look at and see potential for great personalization, the VTX and the M109R were two of those bikes and I was able to make mine stand out in the crowd. My test of when I get a bike right is when I walk around the corner and see it and it makes my heart jump a little, that's when I know it's cool. :doorag:
I run the largest Goldwing site now but I've never own a Goldwing, my company has a dealership and sells parts for them but the Goldwing was not for me till now. The new Goldwing F6B has the look I love and it just needs a little Lamonster love to make it perfect. It's the perfect execution of less is more and gives guys like me a vision of what it can be. It's been a long time since I've been really excited about any Honda and I had pretty much given up on them back in 2006 when I bought my first Suzuki, the M109R. Shortly after that I bought the Spyder and that has held my undivided attention for all these years.
I am not abandoning the Spyder by any means and still have great plans for my new ST but I'm making room for another bike to give me my two wheel fix when needed and to get my juices flowing again on making custom parts for motorcycles like I did back in the day.
I just wanted you guys to hear it from me and not from rumors. I'm still a SpyderLover and will always be and my excitement for this ride has not changed in any way. I've never been a one bike is the best bike kind of guy and love all open air rides. If it's different I like it most of the time as long as it's different in a cool way like the Spyder.
So here's my new baby I have on order. :doorag:
