Old Spyder

[Utah Geezer]

Drove over to Hurricane Utah from Washington Utah (only 20 miles) to catch a movie and dinner. After the movie we were walking over to Durango's Mexican Food Restaurant to grab a bite to eat when what do I see but a very familiar looking 2011 Pearl White RT Limited. Walk over to it to check it out and low and behold its my old machine. Luggage rack and all the farkles I added were obvious. Gave her a few strokes, told her I missed her but it was obvious that someone was enjoying her and taking good care of her as she was very clean and shiny and it has been raining for days. Went into Durango's and almost immediately spotted the new owners. Something about a Spyder Ryder that you can spot. Followed them outside as they were just leaving with their too go order and visited with them about my old flame, all the mods I made and how happy they were with her. Made me feel good to know that she went to a good home and is with someone that really loves her like I did. But enough of that and on to my new love, 2014 Pearl White RT Limited. Had to go home and ride the new girl around for a while to get over missing the old flame.

It was like running into an old friend. I'm glad the new owners are nice folks and are loving your previous Spyder. Now go to the garage and hug your new one!!

Common Ground

Mr. Duece: We have a few thing in common. I grew up in Illinois. Army took me out west and I stayed here when I got out. Grew up in a small farm town called Leroy down by Bloomington/Normal. Have lived in the St. George area since I met my wife and moved here back in 81. You are moving here at the hottest time of the year but you will love it here 9 months of the year. We have a great Can Am dealer here also and quite a few Spyders in the area. There is a group of riders but I don't belong. I'm still working fulltime and most of my riding is with the wife or other friends. Great group of riders in the Vegas area also. I know a few of them as well. Give me a ring when you get out here and I'll show you around. I was a police officer here for 32 years. I'm retired from law enforcement but now supervise Code Enforcement and Animal Welfare Services as a civilian. You are going to love this area for riding. Its one of the best in the world for motorcycling. Look forward to meeting you.

old spyder

I still have the same old girl I met in 2008, had some issues ( nothing serious ) but still the same. Not sure if I could part with her after all the farkles and getting the kinks out.
