Spyder Back On The Road

[TexasTripod]

Just got my Spyder back today after I had been experiencing the steering lock-up problem. The Tech. did the updates and re-calibrated the steering. I told him to put some miles on it before giving it back to me so he rode it about 60 miles and then I rode it about another 60 miles home without any problems. Hopefully this is the end of my problems so for now kudos to Jamaal (I hope I spelled it right) at Mancuso Power Sports Southwest in Houston.

When I used to drive a Freight liner I took out 2 Tumble weeds at 89mph flat out down there it was great :2thumbs:

Yeah, if it were just tumbleweeds, no problem.

When I moved to Texas ( actually Houston, which is not really Texas ) I sold my motorcycle after a year or so and didn't ride anymore. Too much furniture, pipes, car & truck parts and lumber on the roads :yikes: . In Texas, even the road-debris is "over-sized".

Critters too. When you can be going 85 mph in West Texas and recognize spiders (the 8-legged kind) on and along side of the road - I prefer being in a 'cage'.

Keeping fingers crossed!

Yep, the spiders (Tarantulas) start moving along about July 4 every year. Seems they always move from east to west and right across roads and highways. But I never worry much about them. It's the Jumbo grasshoppers that can be 5 - 6 inches long that bother me. They jump - and that means you can catch them anywhere from your boots to your helmet. And they hurt!

Glad to hear you got it back and it is running well. Hoping it stays that way for you as well.
