Thanks, I appreciate the help!
Headed West. Picking my wife up in San Francisco then heading up the coast to Washington. Going to take in a Mariners game #17 of 32 Major League Baseball parks. Then...
What do I need to hook up an Ipod Nano to the 2014? I bought the Ipod recently and had not tried to plug it in until on the road. Do I need an adapter and if so do most dealers carry them? I...
The humming is just an indication that you have a happy Spyder. :thumbup:
On our trip to Florida we got as low as 26 mpg (70 - 75 against the wind) and as high as 48 mpg (traveling the Keys 45-55 mph). For most of our miles at Interstate speed we got 36 mpg. We now have...
Bluep,
Where did you order your tire from?
The 51st state;)
Make sure you aren't gripping the handle bars too tightly. It is easy to over steer when the wind is hitting you and the Spyder from the side. Especially when it is gusting. I've found that I can...
I'm 63,but wife actually owns the Spyder. She's 55.
Honey, I've come up with the greatest Mother's Day gift! Something we both will enjoy! In fact, we could consider it a Father's Day gift also. Looks at the money we will save buying one gift that...
[QUOTE=Deke;807502]Me and the missus are doing a little better every day. Sara's shoulder fracture is fairly severe, but the doctor wants to allow for some time for healing before doing any surgery....
:spyder2: we made it! :D Now for the fun
We head out at 7:00 am and it's only going to be 41 degrees. Possibly raining:yikes: I must be stupid.:shocked: My wife on her Spyder, our two friends on their Harleys and me on my Indian. I can't...
We've got a 2014 RT-L and when the dealer delivered it on a Sunday we left for Florida the following Thursday. I told the dealer we would have over 3,600 miles on it when we got back and asked if we...
It's amazing how much better it is to be able to ride to work. I actually look forward to it! :2thumbs:
Sorry the two of you are going through this. It is very difficult. Our prayers are with you. :pray:
My experience has been on my wife's 2014 RT-L. I've been vacationing via two wheels for years. My last long distance bike was a 2008 Gold Wing. I am 63 and not yet ready to give up two wheels, but I...
Thank! I've never tasted Cognac, but it rydes real nice!:clap:
It has been very consistent with all the highway ryding we've done. A lot of it being up there around 80 mph. I'm betting if you stay down around 60 mph you would likely get close to 40 mpg.:f_spider:
Bob,
We have been inundated with attention. People looking, asking about it and wanting to take our pictures. Had a couple in Key West stop us on the main drag to take our picture (actually probably...
We have 2,075 miles on the RT-LTD so far. We've been towing a fully loaded trailer and have been getting 30+ miles on every tank except for one. That was 204 miles traveled from Key Largo to Key West...
Thanks Napper - I will look into that antennae. We have had great weather so far (been on the road over a week). My wife is a Presbyterian Pastor and I think she has been keeping us in good standing...
Randy, Deb, Mark and Deb - Iowa are staying at the Hampton.:joke: Party time!
Joe,
No Gremlin bell. We will try one more OEM antennae and if it breaks I will probably look at something different/shorter/stronger. I kind of wondered if it might be a weak antennae to begin...
We used to travel on our Goldwing and trailer. We made many long trips and had great times, but as I get older I find that the stressful situations were becoming more numerous. This year we are...
85500:yes::yes:
I think this is on Marathon Key. We spent the night in Key West and this is while on our way back to the mainland. Took a while to find a spot for the shot. The weather has been...
We will find out on the 11th. We're currently in Tampa with slightly over 1,200 miles.going to Key West from here. Then up the Atlantic Coast. From there we go to Orlando and eventually back to Iowa...
Congrats:thumbup:
We are ready to ryde!
Never tried lane splitting, but I see people changing lanes on the spur of the moment so I can see how it would be easy for things to go bad quickly.
