Howdy 1 Year, 5 Months ago

Hello; my real first name is John but everyone calls me Spider. It’s a long story so don’t ask. I have a 06 RS Silverado, my wife has a 03 VTX 1800 Trike and we both love to ride weather permitting. I’m an aircraft mechanic and know my way around a tool box. Right now I live in Utah (Uncle Sam’s choice not mine) and only get to ride about 4 months out of the year. I grew up in Colorado so the cold weather doesn’t bother me and canyon carving is the best ridding I can think of. I work with engineers all day so I tend to over think thing so I will be asking a lot of questions. Look forward to talking to some people about some mods I have been thinking about undertaking.
