Retrieve a Spyder
« on: May 26, 2019, 03:15:58 PM »
The inspection and test ride by Beau was a big :thumbsup, so on Wednesday I'm flying to Cairns to stay the night and be picked up Thursday Morning to go to Mareeba to pick up the Spyder.

https://www.bikesales.com.au/bikes/details/2014-can-am-spyder-rt-ltd-se6-my15/SSE-AD-6012375/?Cr=2&psq=(And.Service.Bikesales._.(C.Make.Can-Am._.Model.Spyder%20RT%20LTD%20SE6.))&pso=0&pss=Premium

I will change the rego over in Mareeba and then pack the Spyder for the the big trip home

My plan at this stage is to ride to Townsville Thursday and overnight there, before riding to Rocky on Friday (hopefully catching up with John and Kate in Mackay, and then riding from Rocky to Brisbane on Saturday.

This spot should go live, some time on Thursday morning.

Great stuff Gary !!!!
A man rides on his STeed, says “Why am I short of attention? Got a short little span of attention”.

You can call me Steve, with apologies to Paul Simon.

We have to go to Cairns in August for the father-in-law's 80th, and after Japan last month, and this trip to fetch the Spyder, and the purchase price, I might be pushing it.

However, the thought has crossed my mind. Several times. :grin
