Colin,
Looking pretty nice! :2thumbs:

These machines are just a bit too much like potato chips :shocked:; it's nearly impossible to stop at just one!

she is going to love the ST...

You're absolutely right, Charlyne. Btw, love your profile pic. lol See ya in the Ozarks! MM :yes:

 

[Wiredux]

so the conversation died off a little until we went riding yesterday. She started asking me again how far it was to Ozark, Mo and how far it is to Trinity, Tx. I told her it was about the same distance. I asked her if I needed a trailer and she said no. We will make that trip once I find out how you do on the Mo trip and I have my own spyder. :gaah: she likes keeping me in suspense. I am sure that once I get back from Spydefest and tell her how the 2013's ride we may have to sell the boat. :yes:

 

[Bob Denman]

You are a very lucky man... :thumbup:

Dan, she'll have to have one of her own. That's what happened to us. Once Kris learned how to drive the Spyder it was all over. Just a matter of signing the papers.

I was a sport bike rider when I was 20-24. Quit riding when I went overseas for the military and met my wife. For the past 13 years I was always looking at getting another bike. For 12.5 years she would stomp around and tell me "Nothing with 2 wheels anymore". I even went as far as to arrange a ride with a friend on the back of his HD just to get her interest sparked. Nothing worked, she would not even get on his HD. One day I was out on a business trip and saw a spyder. I knew I had to have one. One day when she was at work and I decided to go to the dealership about 45 minutes from my house. I took it for a test drive and completed all of the paper work, brought her home and parked her in the garage. When she got home I met her outside and opened the garage door. She was a little upset at first, but I just looked at her and said, "You said you did not care what I got as long as it did not have two wheels. This has three". She could not argue with me and she was amazed at the stability of this new thing in the garage. She got up on the passenger seat and lit up like a kid in a candy store. And now I cant keep her off of it. Yesterday I came home and found it warm sitting in the garage. Come to find out she took it out for a run around the neighborhood during her lunch break. Now keep in mind she does not have her endorsement here in NC or a permit. Guess she has been bitten by the spyder. We are also looking now into getting her a ST.


Just thought I would share this with y’all.

Opps!! another Spyder bite!!:yikes:

.... we may have to sell the boat. :yes:

Who needs a boat, anyway? :dontknow: It's just a hole in the water you have to throw money into. Not something really worthwhile, like a :f_spider:!

 

[NancysToy]

Happens the other way around, too. Nancy had hers first, then it got the best of me when the RT came out.

Wow Colin those are beautiful.

Think of the new farkling possibilities... :shocked:
Give her a hug from ALL of us! :thumbup:
:congrats: on getting a new ryding partner

Ya - but your cost in farkling goes up by a factor of TWO - see my signature below on our TWO - exact same outcome as you.

Thanks for your comments

I have done pretty much all I want to with mine, the one on the right with the silver/grey RSS Badge, just waiting on HMF Pipe
All my partner wants now is a Comfort Seat which is on order, decide on what noise she wants, and looking at changing the Black Frunk and Guards etc to a deep purple or possibly even Blackcurrent.
Would rather spend the $ on riding and weekends away than too much Farkling.

Oh and yes, I sold the boat to buy the 2nd one, had the boat for 4 years and did less than 60 hours on it.

We did 60 hours in the first 4 months we had the boat. that was before the Spyder.

Same thing happened to me wanted to buy a Goldwing wife told she wasn't riding on 2 wheels so found a trike. She got her M/C Lic and then could not keep her off the trike. So she found her a 2010 RT and has not been a co-rider since. Sayes she doesn't like looking at the back of my helmet... She put over 15,000 miles on it last year.:dg1:

So the wife and I were out tonight on the Spyder and stopped by a friends house who is looking at getting an RT. she tells our friends that on Saturday we are going to look at a yellow ST. Of course I was surprised on what her plans were. She was even more surprised that I said I would not be going. I am teaching a CCH class. Told her next weekend. So it looks like we are getting closer to become a 2 Spyder family.

 

[cgistudio]

that is part of life when you have a wife.

 

[Littlebadwolf]

You won't regret having 2 Spyders in the family...We do a lot more riding together than we did 2 up and it's definitely improved our quality time together.

How nice, you are soo lucky. It's great when the power in a relationship is not out of balance. You could be a two Spyder family in the future.
