If someone has a model for one that will hold an RT and a non-fairinged cruiser, please post!
When I was learning to ride (on a two wheeler) I got a lot of practice pulling off and on the road. Whenever traffic would come up behind me I would pull off and let them go by so I could toodle...
Statistics state that over 35% of damage to head area in a motorcycle accident is to the jaw area. It may not be much of a face but it's the only one I have so always full face (modular so can flip...
Thanks Yazz and bobnaquien! It was two leaking gaskets. I'm all fixed now and can ride without soccer shin guards.
Appreciate your help.
When I added the risers I found that my hands were in the middle of the mirrors so I added the mirror extensions and life is good again.
While I think that riding anywhere on my Spyder is great, I must be honest and say that there is a far greater feeling of accomplishment doing The Dragon on 2 wheels that on three. On three it's a...

Although on a Spyder you don't have to adhere to the two-wheeler rule of not braking in the curve, if you are making a left turn at a good speed, you should do so. All your weight is...
Dick's Sporting Goods sells them singly so if only your right leg gets hot, you don't have to buy two.
With all that you have going on in your life right now, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post all the great information on the new models. You're to be commended even more than usual!...
Something for bee/hornet/yellow jackets stings as they tend to fly under your sunglasses or in your clothes. Sure is handy to be able to treat right then rather than suffer. Benedryl stick works...
Can't say enought about Matthews Fun Machines in, obviously, Matthews. Have purchased five motorcycles there and wouldn't consider anywhere else.
I have a 2011 RS-S down in Matthews if it helps you.
I was scared sh&%less to ride my two wheeler in the rain at any speed. First time it rained on me on the Spyder I cruised along at 65 without a care in the world and my only concern when it rains...
Boots won't help the shin burns unless they are up to the knee!
Her name is Dallas from the J D Robb books. My first bike was Eve, if you follow the series.
One post above said that they named it because of house it sounded inside the house. I love my...
Matthews Fun Machines, Matthews, NC. They are like family, can't do enough to help us. We just go there and hang out sometimes.
We have two official Spyder members and an occaisonal tag-along. There are our family and best friends, whether on the bikes or not. Gotta go, we're headed to lunch today and Deal's Gap on...
I, too, wave at all bikes and emergency responders. For Spyders, they get a high, three fingers. I concur that when out riding alone on the Spyder, you don't get as many waves as on two wheels. ...
If it's your shins rather than your feet like my problem was, I bought soccer shin guards and they work beautifully. I didn't want to wrap the pipe as I will want the warmth in the winter.
I have read several posts about hot feet but that wasn't my problem on my RSS SE. I would end up with burnt shins that would remain red for 2-3 days if I rode more than 30 minutes. Didn't really...
You can never have too many places for comraderie so go to FB, Girls on Spyders as bruiserbaby said.
With the risers I found that it put my hands right smack in the middle of where I wanted my mirrors so I got the mirrors and everything is perfect!
Made it just north of Morganton on Wednesday night when linkage broke (didn't know that at the time) and only had 4th gear. Had to call hubby and have him come pick me up with trailer. Sure hope...
I'm leaving Matthews Wednesday after work and spending night near Spruce Pine, NC then heading to Greeneville Thursday morning. If any of you will be in that area Thursday morning, let me know and...
Can we try to all get together on area we stay in? It will be our first time there so we'll go along with the concensus. Any ideas?
Hubby and I gave each other heated gloves Christmas 2010. They plug into the connection that we have for the battery tender so no extra wiring. We went with the gloves instead of the grips as they...
I vote for early September as October can be too chilly in the mountains for it to be enjoyable to stand around outside or ride. As the other two events are too far away to attend, I am REALLY...
Will be at Charlotte show and on Spyder if weather cooperates. Would love to meet up with others if we can get day and time arranged. Please post your plans for attending.
Our riding group has gone to the one in Greenville SC for the past three years. We're excited that it has moved this year to home, Charlotte, NC. It's a great opprtunity to see every type of bike,...
