maybe both you and Teddy will get back into it after a little break If it weren't for having to work this weekend I'd come down and meet you and Teddy.

I'm sure of it :2thumbs: Hopefully we'll get to meet at SpYderFest, NO?

You are still heading to Maggie Valley, are you not?

4/15/11*48F*Caged it in this morning*Storms this afternoon

Well, I didn't sleep last night, just too darn excited about our road-trip tomorrow :yes: to meet Len & the other Great folks at Cowtown:firstplace:

We're do for thunderstorms today, so I caged it in, which is probably a good thing, since I'm very sleep deprived and came in early again today. I'll keep y'all updated as things progress today, & I'm pray'n ray: we don't run into any snags & everything goes as planned :thumbup: If so, Teddy's got a H U G E surprise:joke: in store for him hyea:

Dave, in an earlier post you said your RT 12K check would take the dealer 8 hours...I looked at what they should do on the inspection list and was amazed it would take 8 hours. I do not know what my dealer charges, as I never asked, but I would guess around $80-90 an hour. Are we talking about $600-$800 for a 12K check? In addition, this would be an all day operation, so I would have to trailer my RT and leave it, and two 100 mile round trips. Gasp!

 

[stevedfive]

A 6,000 mile service is just over $600 (they do other things besides change oil and filter, such as adjust valves, et.)

Continued so here's the update.An end of an era
I'm think'n it best to end this thread of our adventures on Teddy's 2010 RT-S as of this coming weekend. ............I will keep this thread going for our road trip to Cowtown this weekend, but I believe that will be the end of our adventures with Teddy's 2010 RT-S :ani29:

Well, you can always have a sequel!

Kiddo has one of THESE.

Thanks for that link:thumbup:

How do you like it? How does Kiddo seem to like it? How much does Kiddo weigh & what size did you get for him?

Looks really interesting. Also, since we're using them on pooches on :spyder2:s, did you get the casual or the Sport?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the info on the Chillybuddy. I purchased one from Paws Mahal in Somerset, Ky. (Casual, X. Small) for my Jack Russell, Jenny.
We have been riding in the 95 degree heat of S. Texas and I have been concerned about her sun protection. I can tell it has made her much more comfortable, especially when wet down according to the instructions.:2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:
I've also added supersoft earplugs for her, which she doesn't mind and has not tried to shake out so far. I was concerned about the ears because my old girl (also a Jack Russell) who always rode with me lost most of her hearing and I was told it could have been from the noise and wind entering her ears while riding.

I think it's the 16th now & we're in IL (I think)

Don't you just love adventures. When you wake up in a strange place & you don't quite know where you are? But it's all good, Teddy is by my side, & I just looked out the hotel window, & his Brand New 2011 Bright Red :spyder2:SpyderFest Special Edition RT-S is still sit'n right there where we left it last night, look'n like it's do'n 100 MPH just sit'n still:yes:

I think most of y'all know I loved Teddy's 2010 RTS, BUT THIS 2011 SPECIAL EDITION BYKE IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. AND THE RYDE, OMG, SCOTTY, I TOLD YOU MUCH OF THIS WAS YOUR FAULT, AND YOU WERE RIGHT ON A DIME, MY FRIEND:2thumbs: Even tho the 2 :spyder: share the same DNA, you can really tell the difference in the newer model :thumbup:

I'm also glad to know that Len already sold Teddy's 2010 rig before we even left Cowtown last night:thumbup: I'm glad the whole set up stayed together, cause the :spyder: & RT622 Trailer are GREAT together. I just hope it brings it's new owner as much happiness & Great Adventures as it did for us.

I gotta go, almost check out time, & the sun is out & Teddy's New Ryde is just SCREAM'N to get out & GO!:2thumbs:

:firstplace:I can't even begin to THANK LEN & ALL the GREAT FOLKS at COWTOWN:firstplace: All the rumors & stories you read about how good they are as a dealer, ARE TRUE!!! I even told his father & Len himself, THEY HAVE REDEFINED WHAT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE TRULY IS, in my eyes:thumbup:
