I went for a short ride (26 miles) this morning just to test myself and the Spyder in a very windy condition. (30 to 40 mile wind gusts, according to the weather report). I am really proud of myself, and the Spyder. Everything went good, after a little white-knuckle time. I have been worried about getting caught in this kind of weather, but feel much better now.
Be Good, Be Kind, and Be Careful ! :yes::yes::yes:

TIME will bring you to your comfort zone...
never ride beyond your level of comfort... the more you ride, the more you will feel a sense of confidence, and things will progress from there... I KNOW, I'M ONE...
As a year round rider I can tell you that the spyder is fine in just about anything but icy conditions. I have done 60+ in the rain without so much as a hiccup (there is a reason why the front tires have low psi, EXTREME TRACTION!)
I have ridden in gusts up to 60 mph, while its uncomfortable it wouldn't say its dangerous.
The white knuckle thing depends on your grip too, I have a pair of gloves that are warm but lack grip on the palm so I have to kung fu grip the throttle so it doesn't spring back.
Way to go. I still haven't had mine out in the strong winds or rain.
