Wife names everything we drive. Named our red 2012 RT S RUBY, and the matching trailer I made TUESDAY. You don't want to know what she named the truck, car and riding lawnmower.:shemademe_smilie:....

O.K., I know that car tires would be a good replacement for the front tires & that riders have their own brand preference. But where do you get them?? My local tire guy said that he couldn't find...

I've been using the Kenda's, but after 10K miles the dealer says that I need new tires. I haven't had a chance to look at the problem yet as the bike is in for repairs (ref: Fall down-go boom-boom)....

Is there a general consensus as to what brand of aftermarket tire would be best for the front end of my Spyder? I live in the pacific NW, so it should be a good rain tire too.

Thanks, Gary

O.K., here's the deal. My wife had test drove a 2014 RT and loved the 1330 engine/tranny combo but liked the ST's outline better. After not seeing what she wanted on what the 2015 line, she asked...

No itemized list as yet. Still waiting for that e-mail.

Well, I just got a call today from Lifestyles with the estimate to fix Ruby.

$8245.

Haven't heard from the insurance company yet.

Hope that they'll cover it. I can expect my premiums to...

Ruby is at Lifestyles now for an insurance estimate. They will let me know what they find and match it with I found. Wonder if this blew my laser alinement?

From tipping over:

1) Left mirror ripped off.
2) Left saddle bag scraped up.
3) Trunk lid scraped.
4) Left fender out of alinement.
5) Windshield brackets broken (2 busted, don't trust the...

O.K., maybe I'm just talking out of my hat but here is my list:

1) How about a HUD "heads up display" (like those used in old fighter A/C) so that you don't have to take your eyes off of the...

Love that Idea!! Nobody is going to remove your cat for an inspection, they'll just look to see if one is there.
Genius at work.

The Wife and I are planning to leave Whidbey Island on Wed the 30th. Down I-5 to Portland and spend a day with my brother and family. Out of Portland on Friday, taking it easy on old 99 south to...

I have a a 2012 RT S SE5, and I have been shifting gears 1-4 up at 5K and 5th up at 65mph. Shift down at about 4K.

Now, here is the new thing that has happened. This last week I was in Durango...

Just checked into the River Terrace Inn. Lovely room - has A/C that is on full blast. That last 109 miles between Salina and Green River is just a killer.Great scenery, but the afternoon temp was...

The wife and I just finished day three and are holed up in Brigham City. The bike (RUBY) has been running like a top. The trailer has had some problems. Tows just fine, lost one fender and I just...

Wife and I have left Whidbey Island for our first long trip on our RT. Should prove interesting.

Gary

When the wife drove ours home for the first time, she got off and said "We've had a talk and her name is Ruby". Finished the matching trailer and it got named "Tuesday".

I just live here.

Has anyone ever done a step-by-step video on how to install the hitch on the rear wheel?

Gary

I am just trying to finish off a trailer project for my 2012 RT S and have a question. I have received the Big Bike wire harness for the RT and I would like to install a flat 4 receptacle, but there...

I am awfully glad that the harness worked well. I have one on it's way and I wasn't looking forward to problems installing the harness.

Is this the Lamplighter North or South?? I would like to make it to the 2015 Spyderfest. Haven't been to one yet, want to go.

Yep, Spyderpops bumpskid was installed and that's what hit the ramp.

Well, it was a beautiful day today here in Washington state and I was planning to ride from Whidbey Island down to Portland to visit family and get my RT a Laser-alinement. I had just left on the...

I bought my 2012 RTS SE5 in Sept 2013 and it was brand new for $22K. The dealer can do a lot better for you than what he's offering.

A couple of weeks ago, I took my 2012 RT S for my trike endorsement course (required in Washington state) which consisted of two days of instruction (4 hours of classroom/5 hours of riding each day)....

When in June is the Heart of Washington ride? This is the first that I've heard of it and would like to go if possible.

Just got off the phone with Life-Styles Honda. BRP say's that it's a go for the upgraded seat. Cool.

How are they different? I would want whichever one comes with the backrest.

that I would like is the 2014 standard seat with backrest. I had bought my RT new in Sept and Saturday I noticed that the crotch seam was pulling out. Dealer said that it was on warranty and that...

Is it possible to swap the seat on my 2012 RT for the seat on a 2014 RT - or am I going to have to go with an aftermarket seat to get a backrest?
