That's GREAT!!! I have a friend who's father has one of those and he really likes it! Same color too. It's a different ride than a motorcycle, but you can handle it. Congrats!@ Hay  Jimmyt |

Boy, you didn't let HG get home long before you took him out and spent the money.
When are you folks heading up to Tucumcari?
Phyllis, Duane and I are headed out Wed. morning, stopping around Albany, then Thursday stopping at Canyon, TX and Friday morning roaming around Palo Duro Canyon before heading on into Tucumcari. Welcome to join us if you want to spend another day or two.

The Spyder really runs GREAT!!!! I don't think the harley is the only bike that needs ta worry about being left behind..... top speed is reported at 140mph.....Fun ta ride but WAY different than a 2 wheel bike... takes some getting used to. FB LOVES it!!!!!and is comfortable on it!!!!That is the main thing!!!!!!
Got and installed a touring windshield and wind deflectors today. Sure makes a big difference in riding!!!!
FB will give the Spyder a good shake down going to Tucumcari this weekend!!!!

... top speed is reported at 140mph...
Not stock. You'll need a K&N, cold air intake, pipes and a fuel controller (to enrichen it) to get a little over 130. Air drag is a bugger on these. Have fun, FB! |
