Funny true story about that same guy: We rode him hard when he bought that and always gave him a hard time for riding such a goofy machine. At work he even parked it in the designated MC parking area even though it is as big as a small car and took up a ton of precious space. One day we went out for a group ride and stopped an hour away at a little fish 'n' chip place. The pretty girl working the take out window noticed the Spyder parked out front and said "Wow! Look at that! Who's is that?" So of course he jumps up and proudly exclaims the Spyder is his machine. Then, as innocent and sincere as can be, she says..."That looks really neat. Did you, like, build it yourself, from an old snowmobile or something?" Ow. Good luck living that down!:dance:
