Three months without a RYDE??? How did you maintain your sanity??
Can't wait to see the pictures of your new ryde!
Congratulations!

Picked it up early Saturday morning at the Danville VA dealer. (they are great to work with by the way)

Rode as much as I could Saturday! Got up at 6:45 and rode Sunday morning until time to go to church.

I have lots of missed time! I will post pics soon!!

Congrats on the new Spyder! Hopefully you were smarter than me this weekend--after picking mine up Sat night I rushed out Sunday to ride and skipped a crucial step--application of sunscreen. In AZ on Sunday, it was 98 degrees and my arms really got burned. The rest of me was covered in appropriate gear, but I wore the sleeveless vest and now I'm paying for it!

Sometimes a lesson learned the hard way is best remembered...
Heal quickly and take care of the burn!

Rode mine to work yesterday and on the way home hit a snag in traffic... a broken-down semi blocked one of the two lanes I needed, and things were crawling soooo slowly! I was all geared up, but that 93 degree sun was super warm on the back of my leg!! Haven't been that happy to break free when I got past the semi and get some wind through my helmet in a long time!!!
