The daily Adventures of a 2010 RT-S SE5 Ryder in the Mid-West

[CyncySpyder]

Im so lucky to know Teddy

Great videos of your rides, home, etc. What kind of video equipment did you use. I think I saw cameras that hook on the helmet or scoot somewhere, but not sure...

I would like to personally invite Teddy to the Texas Trike Reunion. He would really enjoy the hill country. Oh, yes, you can come to if you wish...

Thanks George, I'll let Teddy know he's got a Personal Invitation hyea:
(I swear, that dog gets all the breaks) pps:...........

Oh wait, I get to come to :roflblack::yes: Appreciate it George :thumbup:

Right now, I just use my Droid Cell Phone, not very high-tech (nor safe) but it gets the point across pretty well, I think.

I have a rear view camera system with 2 cams that I'm going to set up on the RT-S so I can keep an eye on Teddy while Ryding & the other cam on the traffic behind me since I won't be able to see over :yikes: the Moto-Mate Camper :thumbup:

At our OSR (Ohio Spyder Ryders) meeting last night, Eric actually brought up how he'd like for all of us to be able to get Go-Pro cams for our rydes, would be so much easier to share with others that way, with much less risk :2thumbs: Its on my list- but way far down on the list right now Soooo many other priorities right now :yes:

2-27-11 53F Partly Sunny *YAY*

Kinda warm & partly sunny. Ok, Ok, Ive admitted it before, but now its get'n worse........

HELLO< MY NAME IS DAVE & I AM A SPYDER-A-HOLIC & I AM POWERLESS NOT TO RYDE

(Even tho I have so many other priorities that are in need of get'n done)

Started giving Teddy his Hair-Cut & stopped mid way thru :yikes: to give him a break & for us to go for a ryde :clap::2thumbs::clap:So yeah, he looks kinda:roflblack:right now & believe it or not :yikes: he still LOVES ME He's kinda in a pseudo "lion" cut right now :roflblack:

Speaking of other priorities, can you make out what that is on the floor:dontknow: besides Teddy's spoon :hun:

2-28-11 60F - We got caught in the rain- Wet Dog Alert-

C'mon....... its only water, right?

says the addict that cant stop ryding

:gaah: so many things to do, so little time when most of it is spent on the byke ryding:doorag:. See, thats what I need. A buddy that I can ryde to, & we can work on mods together, solves 2 problems at once :2thumbs:

Some Random pics of when we headed out, the sun disappeared & the thunder storms rolled in quickly. But hell, it was a balmy 60F degrees, it was a warm downpour to ryde in, & I actually enjoyed it quite well. Cant say the same for Teddy, as he is in a "half lion cut" right now, and still has W A Y too much hair, less alone be'n wet at 70mph :roflblack:

 

[CyncySpyder]

I was cheat'n on Teddy, But NO fear, MAX doesn't RYDE!

:gaah::yikes::spyder::chill:

and Teddy was :doorag: once he got his fries :2thumbs:

2-28-11 60F @5:30am * ARMAGEDON COMETH *

:gaah:

Woken up by the Tornado sirens going off at 4:30am, only there was no tornado. Come to find out now, that they also sound the Tornado Sirens for Severe Thunderstorms as well :hun: Reminds me of the boy that cried WOLF!!! do that a few more times & ppl will just start to ignore them altogether :lecturef_smilie:

Anyways, didn't Ryde in today do to 50mph gusts, horizontal rain, thunder, lightning, & how did my friend put it this morning, "this was the first time I've ever had fear while driving!" Yeah, it's bad out so I caged it today. Have to admit, after get'n caught in our lil soaker yesterday I couldn't have made it in today if I was Ryde'n. There was 2 spots where they had 2 lanes Southbound & 1 lane northbound closed on I75 due to 2 feet of standing water. I hit one pond in my car & couldn't see a thing for at least 5 seconds. I was just ray: their wasn't another car on the other side :bowdown:

Let's hope it clears up by quit'n time so I can get my daily fix in :clap:

2-28-11 40F 1pm

Well, it looks like the cold-front has rolled in It's dropped 20F degrees in the past 6 hours, from 60F-40F :yikes: Just looked at the radar, & we should be clear here in a bit, but it looks like Lamont is getting pounded right about now :gaah:

Well, since I didn't ride in today, i had to call & reschedule with Middletown once again. Set it up for next Monday, hopefully the weather will be better by then :lecturef_smilie: anyways, gives me more time to Ryde as long as the weather cooperates & I need about 600 more miles to make it to 12K for my service :f_spider: gives me time to get the oil changed & add some of the lighting mods I just received :2thumbs: before I have to take her in next week :2thumbs:

3-1-11 32F Midnight

Its back to be'n cold
I know its still Winter :chill:
but I got to admit pps:
It was S:doorag:W:doorag:E:doorag:E:doorag:T:doorag:!!!
To get a few warm weather rydes in :thumbup: with Teddy:doorag:

I miss having Teddy with me all the time
He's my buddy :yes:

The look on his face tho :yikes:
When we were going down the highway at 70 :2thumbs:
& the heavens just opened up & started pour'n down hard :cus:
I turned around and looked at him
And he kinda gave me one of those looks :gaah:
you know.....


"LIKE REALLY, DAD.... REALLY!!!"

Oh, you had to be there ............ PRICELESS!!!:firstplace:

Wish I woulda got that moment in a pic :roflblack:

 

[CyncySpyder]

3-1-11 32F 1am Cant sleep, thought I'd share random pics

These pics I took today, I cant say where they are from (But I think You can figure it out) as we're not allowed to have cameras in the plant pps:

The fist pic of the single black locker, well you can see all the Spyder Stuff on it, that was my "DREAM BOARD" last year, while I was work'n 12hrs a day for 7 days a week for a couple months straight so I could afford to get the :spyder:

I even stopped remodeling my Condo so I could save up for the down payment & with just starting my entire life over after the fire, it wasn't an easy nor fun thing to do, but I didnt have a choice. My purchase decision was one totally based on
"RAW LUST."

I mean......... if a grown man can drool over a picture.....(We're not talk'n sex here)......... day after day...... and dream about it...... without control...... what do you call that?

So yeah, now in the other pics, you can see my entire break-area :shocked: & how its now covered with :spyder: stuff here & :f_spider: stuff there :spyder2: stuff everywhere :2thumbs:

(Wonder...... is there a 12 step program for this?):dontknow:
cause I think i got it bad

 

[CyncySpyder]

3-1-11 28F Got to Ryde in this morning

Looks like I didn't wipe the :spyder: down as well as I thought after get'n caught in that downpour the other day. When I went out to start her up this morning, she was still covered with water spots :yikes: but I got lucky, as Teddy's not allowed with me at work, so he didn't see :spyder2: in that shape hyea:
Cause really, I don't know if it's the smell or what, but he only likes to Ryde on a clean :spyder: picky a:cus: dog :roflblack:, but i still love him

Figures, yesterday with all HELL let'n loose weather wise, even tho they had a few lanes of I75 closed, no accidents. But today, it's cool & clear & sure enough, the highway is closed at my work exit :gaah: no worries, just took the long way around :2thumbs:

Almost finished Teddy's cut last night. Tho I think I'll keep it where it is till the warmer weather gets here more consistently. At least he's still got "some" fur left, still in a pseudo " Lion Cut" but much more smooth & started on his Spyder-Hawk hyea:

 

[CyncySpyder]

3-1-11 50F Had to clean Teddy's Chariot

I swear i wish i were my dog, he's got the lyfe :thumbup:

He didnt wanna get on the :spyder:when I got home from work today, cause it still had water spots on it. He wasn't happy 'til I took him & the :spyder:to the byke-wash & got'r all nice & clean hyea:

After we got all nice & clean, we rode for at least 3 hours. Took a couple pics & vids of us go'n thru Newport (used to be known as "Little Vegas" way back in the day) & stop'n by Chipotle & stop'n at the Park along the flooded Licking river (one of the only rivers in the world that actually flows North)

Its been another Great Day to be a SpyderLover :yes:

 

[CyncySpyder]

Live'n in a RiverTown

Flood Stage for the Ohio River at Cincinnati is 52'
On Saturday at 1pm, slated to hit 51.8'
WE ARE BLESSED TO BE SAFE
Can't say the same for all of us?

"Eric, I saw on the news just now that most of FINDLAY is UNDER - WATER....... Are you guys OK?

dav~

 

[CyncySpyder]

3-1-11 39F What do you want?

Hey guys, Im not sure if this Thread is do'n any good for anyone out there? Is it?

If so, what do you want to know or maybe see, that I can do around my little slice of the SpyderLyfe that is out there:doorag:? I ryde just about everywhere I go, (Weather/Teddy permitting) & once I get everything set up, would ppl be interested in the exploits of Teddy, or am I waste'n time & effort? Thought it would be cool, cause Cincy has alot of Interesting Landscapes, SkyLines, WaterFront & Awesome CityScapes to with ALL THOSE COMBINED............... Makes for some Wonderful Rydes


Especially if I get that one camera mounted with a direct view of Teddy:doorag:

and the other cam faced off the top of the Camper, I think it would make for an Intersting Experience...... ???:dontknow:
and have both displayed on the New Custom Mounted LCD & somehow record that ryde or maybe broadcast it somehow????:hun:

(I know I need to turn the tunes down....... Sorry..... Real Lyfe Soundtrack of MidWest-Americana &.................(Never done anything like this before, so theres a learn'n curve)


Guess I'm take'n Suggestions?

Teddy's Such a Poser when he's Ryde'n:doorag:
Definately has the Personality for it :f_spider:

 

[CyncySpyder]

Teddy's New Cut

From Look'n Like A Monkey

To a Lion

[draboo]

He looks a bit like Kiddo. She just got coiffed today, but not as close as the Ted-ster!

:agree: Cant wait for SpydeFest & LadyBug. The "KIDS" are gonna have fun :trike::2thumbs:

 

[CyncySpyder]

3-2-11 36F Had a nice Ryde in this morning

Have I mentioned how much I love my 1stGear Thermo Ryde'n suit? Without it, I doubt very much I'd be Ryde'n all winter long:doorag:

On another topic, I'm start'n to get overwhelmed :helpsmilie: with all the mods. Stuff is coming in left & right & I can't stay off the byke long enough to mount all the stuff :gaah:

My Air-Wing (ESI) scuff guards came in yesterday:clap: (look very nice & :firstplace:HIGH QUALITY) as did my 5" LCD for the rear-view camera system:clap: Still waiting on the Garmin Nuvi 665 GPS opcorn: but that should be here by Friday :clap: Also have the trailer tongue wiring harness that I need to get finagled so that I can hook the Moto-Mate up to the RT-S :spyder: not to mention i need to mount my clear sets of BikeVis bullet leds & still waiting on my 2nd set of them in blue that will require mounting once they arrive :dontknow: but all this requires me to stop Ryding :gaah:

"GOD, GRANT ME THE SERINITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE, THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN & THE
WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE "not too shabby
remembering that, especially since I've never been in AA - just Alanon


But screw that, where the :cus: did I misplace my Adderall :roflblack::roflblack:

3-2-11 50F Sunny

:doorag:Teddy's New Cut is Done & He's in his Leather Today:doorag:

 

[Yazz]

Teddy is :b2b: all done up in leathers and a spydeehawk. :doorag:

 

[StriperKing]

You have to stop posting pics of Teddy. My wife wants to trade me off for Teddy. She says he looks tough in his leather and Spyderhawk. :dontknow: Can`t blame her, he is cute. I can`t imagine how many people look and want to stop and talk when you are riding with him. It is bad enough without him, not that it is really bad but you know what I mean.:2thumbs:
