First I have to disagree with the comment about the Spyder not being a motorcycle. It is not a 2 wheel motorcycle. It does everything a 2 wheel motorcycle does, except lean and fall over if you...

Part 2 of #16: After returning from Puerto Rico, a friend of mine helped me get a job at USS Geneva Steel in April of 1973, a fully integrated steel mill in Orem, Utah. I went to work as a laborer in...

Is your Spyder not eligible for the B.E.S.T warranty from BRP?

so Ron are you saying that 14-19 shocks are better than 2011 shocks?

:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::clap:

Unfortunately, this is true. Back in the day when my antique was built (2012) you could excuse some of this as part of the learning curve, but we have long past that peak. I don't remember where now...

However, as Mike said earlier in post #2. It doesn't increase the WEIGHT you can carry only the volume. Good luck with your trip. What a great adventure.

I use my ATV/Motorcycle jack to lift it up, then put the ramps under it backwards so they don't interfere with me being underneath. For me, it is less hassle to jack it up & then place the ramps.

It is not visible to you on your own posts, but the rest of us see them.

I put a coat of Mothers on once a year and then Yamaha Spray Detailer to clean the bugs and dirt off and put a new shine on it.

February 1973. I had closed my motorcycle business the previous fall, as my major selling line had stopped production and I was out in the cold, so to speak. In the area where I lived at the time,...

I'm not worried, they won't be looking for me so I am safe

And the plastic is not all ABS. Some pieces are another plastic. The fenders are PA66 while the frunk lid is ABS. The type of plastic it is will be molded in to the piece on the backside somewhere.

Hi Dave, I hope you are doing better and are back home and recovering.
Thanks for the heads up on the phone.

Snoking gives good advice. Unless you have a tire giving you problems, let them run their course. The back tire is gone when the center is worn. You will still have plenty of tread on the edges, but...

You are not quite on the level. You're off plumb. Drill a little deeper to square it up

+1 on the MRA. Great app and easy to use

I see that this question was never answered. Does anybody know at what point the extended nozzle was incorporated on the assembly line? and yes I know it is a way old post, but it is relevant to a...

Thanks for sharing that story. That was great and not just about Speed.

My favorite is still the "Do Not Pet the Fluffy Cows" sign.

After years of toe only shifters my last Royal Star came with a heel/toe shifter. After I got used to it I really liked it. Now that I am on a SpyderRTL I really like the thumb shifter.

I like to wear vests because the T-shirts that I get at rallies and other motorcycle events don't have pockets and vests do. I buy leather because I like leather. As a side benefit, they provide a...

However at that point, if you are still riding that Spyder and want to continue to ride it, you can then look at an aftermarket warranty and get whatever they will sell you and if the price seems...

You would enjoy a ride to Beaver Ut. for tacos at Beaver Taco. Of course, for us it is only a 4-hour ride. Let me know if you decide to come and I will meet you there and buy the tacos. Thanks for...

I think that the first thing you might do is give Motorcycledave (motorcycledave.com), one of the site sponsors, a PM or call and talk to him about his gel seat pad that goes under the seat cover. I...

If your Spyder is eligible for the BEST warranty, then I cannot understand why you would look at anything else?? The BEST is just what its name says, The BEST Warranty! It is honored at any...

There are carriers out there that you can mount either on you passenger seat or on your trailer that IMNSHO are a much better idea.

If you message me your address I will send you one. BTW they don't help.

I've ridden all four of those horses.

So, while we are sharing funny stories, here's one on me. My main riding group, The Temple Riders, was going to ride around Utah Lake on Saturday after breakfast at a member's house in Pleasant...
