Unusual Spyder parade entry

[IdahoMtnSpyder]

Here is what I think may be a unique use of a Spyder in a parade. This was the parade part of the Old Fort Boise Days celebration on June 14 here in Parma, Idaho.

The signs are:

The New and the Old

2013 Can Am Spyder

1931 John Deere Hit & Miss gas engine

1950s Ingersoll Rand Compressor

Pull the chain, Hear the sound

Mill Whistle, Old McCall Sawmill

The new and the old is the near new Spyder and the old stuff I was pulling with it. The engine was bought by my father back about 1931 and was used to pump water from the well on the farm where I grew up. The whistle was one of the several mill whistles at the sawmill in McCall, Id. The mill was closed down in 1979. Kids get a blast (pun intended) out of pulling the chain and blowing the whistle. This was one fun use of my Spyder! :clap: Oh, and the trailer is only 2 years old. I made it and pulled it with my 'Wing for two years. It has oak stake sides which I took off for the parade use.

I was wondering this morning if my SE5 could go slow enough to be in a parade. I was in one with my GL1500 trike and it couldn't go slow enough. I was in and out on the clutch thru the whole route. Not a fun event.

That is a great parade entry where everyone is invited to run out and give it a tug for a toot. Great idea.

I didn't think to include these pictures when I posted. These are before the parade started. I corrected the date for the engine later.

You should have no trouble with the SE5. No clutch, no worries.
