In the Spyder, it's Hy-test only. In my '14 Silverado I use regular gas. I've thought of using no ethanol gasoline, but it's a dollar a gallon more expensive. I don't believe that I'd get more than a...
Need to ship my RT-S and one of the requirements is that it not exceed 58" in height. Floor to top of windshield measures exactly 57", so we're good there. However, the antennas are approx. 72" high....
I know.....for sure. But I think that the artist took "poetic license" with his brush.
OR it's an Australian Redback.
Take your pick.
Bob.....I'd like to sell it as a package, only because I think that it would be attractive to a prospective buyer.
However, if I don't get any activity, I'd keep the Spyder and trailer and get the...

On a SE model.....is the clutch the same as on the SM? And the mechanism for shifting different? Or are they two completely different animals?
That said, I'd also consider that T6 is a 5W-40. What...
I have a '14 RT-S, with an Ultimate seat, rider and passenger backrest and passenger arm rests. Black seat with yellow highlights. Also have the CB, trailer hitch and a Kompact-camp trailer. Spyder...
I have the BRP CB on my 2014 RT-S. Had it installed last July. Rode the Spyder to the Goldwing District Rally in Maine this summer and it worked perfectly. I was told that it was clear as a bell. I...
Check your credit rating......it has a lot to do with insurance costs.
I haven't ridden on 2 wheels since getting my Spyder, but hope to return to 2 wheels soon. I'm a bit apprehensive about my riding technique since I've been "spoiled" with no clutch or front brake....
The great thing about the Villages, is that if you have an activity or hobby that you can't find, then you can start one. They publish a weekly paper that lists all the activities going on (and there...
There's a shoe store in St. Paul Minn. that has a website: XL FEET.com
They specialize in W I D E widths. They sell Thorogood, Carolina, work one, all made in the U.S.A. Also Keen, Magnum...
My wife's first demo ride on a spyder was at Wing-Ding. Fred Rau had a stable of them at the BRP booth there. That's where she got her Spidey Senses tingling. Since many GW riders "graduate" to a...
I think it's similar to not having enough back pressure in your car (or motorcycle) exhaust system.
Yeah.....Tony Chestnut .......was in the game for me.
Gee, that must have hurt going on.

I have a great looking N100 for snowmobiling.
I have a N102 for riding the Spyder, and the wife has a N104 and even though she likes it, she prefers her N40.
Personally, I don't trust my safety...
1. I don't consider my Spyder to really be a "bike". A "trike", yes.
2. I've ridden for almost 50 years, and never considered myself a "biker", even when I owned a Harley. I was always a...
riding ?? Nope...Deer hunting for the last 2 weeks. Spyder is sleeping till late spring. Now's time to hunt, atv and get the sled ready for the upcoming season.
He is also a "HERO" in the true sense of the word.
ANSWER: Fred Rau
At Americade when he was showing the Spyder for BRP. He asked Mr. Baker, who was a vendor there, if he had any yet for the Spyder, and was told that he would have a set by...
Well, they were the first Baker Air Wings installed on a Spyder....but I guess that you could call them a "prototype" even though they were the standard "Air Wings".
Who had the first set of Baker Air Wings for the Spyder ??
I know .......
Let's see who gets the correct answer.
IMHO, there is nothing that looks as good as a well used, well treated leather seat. Over time, it develops a "PATINA" that vinyl just can't duplicate.
On a motorcycle seat, leather is a harder...
I have 3 miles of dirt/gravel road to ride from my house to the paved road. So far.......no problem. Like the others, I go slow and watch ahead for potential problems. No big deal....you get used to...
I'd have the trunk and frunk removed, and CHROMED.
That would make it stand out in any crowd.
How 'bout......"Spyders in the Valley"...?
BTW...that area is GREAT !!!! Nothing finer this side of the Mississippi.
1969 Honda 350 ....my first ride.
1975 Honda 550 Four....my first new motorcycle. Wish that I still had it.
1981 Suzuki GS 450 ....light and handled like a dream.
1982 Suzuki GS 850G ....my first...
My last motorcycle was a GL 1800 which I thoroughly enjoyed for 13 years. The stock seat was soft and comfortable. After a couple of years, however, it caused me to squirm and wiggle after about an...
