3/31/11*32F*Drove the cage in this morning

Stopped by Stoney's Coffee shop the other night with Teddy. Stoney used to be my neighbor when I lived in Mainstrasse Village. It's a great little coffee shop with all kinds of arts & crafts & paintings that Stoney does herself. It was so good to see Stoney again. I guess it's been almost 3 years since the fire at my old place & I miss living in the Village. It was kinda sad tho, cause Stoney had to put her own dog down not to long ago. Very sad. Teddy cheered her up tho, like he always does. I'm going to have Stoney do a "Princess Portrait" for my neighbors new baby, Leah. She's almost a year now, so this will be a good one, as I'll get a new one done each year. Stoney does great "Princess Portraits" & I have others she's done for me as well. We need to stop by & see her more often. She loved the Spyder & asked if she could take a Ryde when it gets warmer out :2thumbs:

Been an emotional couple of days, help'n my best friend try n get his life back together house wise, as just last week, my brothers & I moved his soon to be Ex wife out & into her own place. So much chaos right now. Teddy was kinda lost at his house, cause he's used to dealing with Wally, (their chihuhua) but he's now living with his ex, so no dog to play with for Teddy.
 
where ya at dave? my kids are worried about you and teddy! hope you two are ok. they are missing their daily dose of the tedster's videos.:dontknow:
 
4/3/11*56F*Sunny*Thursday Was Opening Day

Sorry we've not updated in a couple of days, but no worries, Teddy is doing just fine :thumbup: Thursday was Opening Day here in Cincinnati & with the Cincinnati Reds being the Oldest Team (RedStockings) in the National League, well, its a pretty BIG thing around these parts. They actually started a petition to make Opening Day a Holiday in Cincinnati:joke:

Another interesting development around Opening Day, expecially for the BEER drinkers out there, was how they are now testing so they don't have to "pour" beer anymore. Check out the short vid clip here that shows how this is done. No more pour from the spout, but fill from the bottom. I thought it was a pretty trick invention myself, & I don't even drink beer :opps: :roflblack: They use a special beer cup, place it on the dispenser, and the beer flows up thru the bottom, where a magnet raises and allows the beer to flow. When the cups full, the magnet goes back down and seals the bottom of the cup again :dontknow:

Teddy of course was decked out in his Reds attire as we had to make his rounds around the Stadium for all the Great Reds Fans to see & take pics of. Can't tell you how many thumbs up & picture requests he got. I know we did get 2 "You made my day" :2thumbs: so that always makes it worth while :thumbup: I thought we were busted, as a couple of bike cops in downtown saw us cruising by & both busted out laughing. I was waiting at the next street light for it to turn, when one of the bike cops came rushing up from behind & tapped me on the shoulder. About scared the :cus: out of me, as it wasn't expected while just sit'n at a downtown stop light. Well, I thought that was it, I was B U S T E D (Long Story) and going to jail (wondered if they'd let me take Teddy:dontknow:) I was blocking traffic & had to wave the line of vehicles behind me to go around. It was a female bike cop, & she was in amazement of Teddy & the Spyder. All this time, I was sweat'n it think'n I was BUSTED & going to jail, and here she is, now with her camera out, and ask'n if she can take a pic of Teddy :roflblack::roflblack: You have NO CLUE how relieved I was :yes::yes: PLEASE, TAKE ALL THE PICS YOU WANT!:bowdown::yes::bowdown::yes:

In the pic showing the RT-S & Trailer on the boat dock, if you remember a lil while back, all of that area was under water less than 3 weeks ago :yikes:
 
Had to Fill Up Yesterday

Only Averaged 22.8 MPG this tank. Most just the RT, only about 50 miles pulling the trailer :(
 
4/4/11*60F*OverCast & ThunderStorms Today

Pic1)
While Teddy & I were ryde'n along the Covington RiverFront yesterday, we came upon another SpyderRyde'n couple on a Sweet Look'n Silver RS that had stopped to look at the Larger Than Lyfe Murals along the river front. BOOM, just cruising along, and there they were :2thumbs: We musta talked for an hour and they live close, so Teddy & I may now have some Spyder-Ryde'n buddies:thumbup:
Pic2)
Teddy Lick'n his chops in front of "The WaterFront" floating restaurant that broke loose from its moorings a couple weeks ago. They have it placed at the Covington Landing area for now
Pic3)
Our new Spyder Friends took a pic of both Teddy & I on his Spyder:bowdown:
Pic4)
Teddy patiently waiting in line at Gold Star Chilli for his Hot Dog. They make me pay for my food, but they GIVE Teddy a free Hot Dog almost every time he goes thru the drive thru :roflblack: I swear, that dogs got it SOOOOO GOOD:yes:
Pic5)
Don't HATE, but I had to take a pic to show what the temp. got up to yesterday. It shows 86F on the display, but its usually about 6F degrees high. So yeah, it got up close to 80F yesterday :2thumbs:

:thumbup:ANOTHER GREAT DAY TO BE A SPYDER RYDER:thumbup:
 
Great to see some of more of TEDDY videos and pics of Teddy. We have been busy tring to get the winter projects done before we get our new :spyder:so just getting caught up on your adventures . Last night we got about 2" of wet snow but thankfully it all gone now:yes:

4/5/11*46F*Started Clear this morning, then........

I guess it's just typical Cincinnati area weather. 11pm News last night said should be dry today but cooler with the slight chance of a pop up storm. Well, at 5:30am it was still dark but dry, so I decided to take the Spyder in to work this morning. I knew it would be a bit on the chilly side, but the high for today is suppose to be in the high 50'sF so I decided NOT to wear my 1stGear Ryding suit, as it would be too warm to wear on the trip home. So yeah, needless to say, I got WET on the Ryde in this morning. But all in all, it wasn't that bad. I had my full helmet and winter gloves, and the jacket I use for Ryding has an elongated collar & that helps tremendously with keeping the cold and rain out. So really, I only got "wet" on the outside :roflblack: and I myself stayed nice & cozy & dry :thumbup: Have I mentioned how well the :spyder2: RT handles in the rain? I'd honestly rather be on Teddy's :spyder2: then my cage in a downpour. I've yet to have an issue with hydroplaning or even slipping on the :spyder2: in the rain :thumbup:
I love this machine :2thumbs:
 
4/6/11*46F*R U READY 4 SpYderFest?

Got a lil wet on the Ryde in yesterday & a few sprinkles here and there on the way home as well:( Only got up to mid 40's yesterday so I didn't take Teddy out. Today is suppose to be much nicer with highs in the 50's & sunshine :thumbup: so I'll definitely get Teddy out for a Ryde :2thumbs:

WOW! SpYderFest is only 22 days away, can you believe it?:ohyea:

Next weekend, (weather permitting) I think Teddy & I may take a pre-Ryde trip down to Cuba to see Len & the good folks at CowTown & see all the festivities that their putting together :clap: for all of us :yes:
 
4/7/11*80F*Went for an AWESOME RYDE, Had our 1st Fatality

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyxI0R0fg4o&feature=player_detailpage[/ame]​

:yes:He made it thru the 3 wheels of the Spyder somehow:yes:
:yikes:But the trailer got him :yikes:

WOW!!! For all y'all that still have remnants of Winter left over, I'm sorry. Today, when I left work, it was sunny & almost 80F & even wearing a sleeveless shirt, I was sweat'n a bit:2thumbs: Took the L O N G way home from work & loved it!
As soon as I got home, I geared Teddy up, hooked up the RT622 Trailer & we headed out for an adventure. I'm gonna miss having this trailer, that's for sure. It just brings the Spyders Celebrity Level up a notch & I hardly notice it's even back there. Teddy & I were cruising thru Devou Park with the Spyder & Trailer, I swear, it's just like a snake sliding along the grass so effortlessly. Going thru some of the twisties in the park, I lower my center of gravity and almost hug the glove box & it's like I'm one with the machine. It's effortless to control & so much fun to use body English. Since I've never been a 2 wheel Ryder, I'm guessing this is what a lot of the fuss is about having a crotch rocket. You just glide thru the wind hug'n the road, the byke eating asphalt by the mile with an insatiable appetite that no matter how hard you twist the throttle, the bykes tires just can't eat enough pavement to satisfy itself, so it begs for more, more, more until ..........:yikes:OH CR:cus:P:yikes: TRIPLE DIGITS!!! WHOAH!!!
Have I mentioned how addictive this machine is?:2thumbs:

4/8/11*68F*Chance of Thunder Storms

It's nice & warm already this morning but it was sprinkling when I left for work so I caged it in today :( Guess I'm kinda feeling like a schizophrenic that just missed their meds :gaah:

There's so many things that I've got going on right now, Spyder wise, & the sad thing is, I can't really share them right now. If you've been following along, I've stopped all my modding plans including painting Teddy's new Moto-Mate Camper. So, at SpyderFest, odds are, we won't have matching Spyder & Camper like I had originally planned :opps: so, we might just be in an all white camper :dontknow: we'll see. Either way, we're still gonna have a BLAST:yes:
 
There's nothing wrong with a trailer that doesn't match, especially for something like your camper. To me, a rig like that doesn't look out of place at all. I could see the need if it was the matching RT-622 trailer, but a camper is a camper. You seldom see an RV trailer that matches the pickup truck or SUV that is towing it. If it is any consolation, I changed colors on my RTS, but the camping trailer will remain black with a gray cover. :D

I agree.Our RT is blue , our camper is black, and we have no plan on painting it. We chose the lightest color for the tent so as to not attract heat as much. I would suggest leaving your camper white for the same reason.

Did you find a buyer for your 622 yet?

Scotty, you have no clue, but Much of this is YOUR Fault & I thank you for that:bowdown:
(you'll understand in time)
