Why would someone buy a Spyder? Becoming an owner was a process for me, but probably not the same experience as you. I totaled my beloved 2000 Harley RoadKing in 2018. I had happily owned it for 16...
Thanks for the kind words. Didn’t realize they were not BRP wheels.
I will say that BRP and Harley have one thing in common - very high prices on parts!
Hello Chuck,
If you want to stay with the Ryker platform but with an improved ride, you might want to test ryde a Rally model. Definitely better shocks, and adjustable too.

Hi Snoking,
I like the wheels you put on the Asphalt Gray, but I’m not sure they are 2019 wheels. I have a 2019 Asphalt Gray RT Limited with the chrome package, and the wheels on mine have a Y...
Best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery!
I drove a set of doubles (2 28’ van trailers with a connecting gear between them) for about 6 months. While they CAN be backed up a short distance, they get out of line pretty quickly. Normal...
PM sent!
Thanks,
Bob
No Buc-ees anywhere near me, but I'm surprised they don't allow 18-wheelers. I never figured on that.
The more you know... :shocked:
I imagine you are referring to the display changing colors.
I test rode a 2023 F3 this summer and noticed in the daytime the display is monochrome (on this one, black markings on white...
In for the win!
Interesting coincidence? Jeremy Clarkson was reported yesterday as saying EVs are "bloody dangerous" due to their propensity to go up in flames.

Maybe late, but PM sent too.
Thanks, Bob
Here in CA's Central Valley, we are a little bit cooler than Phoenix but just as dry. The worst thing in the afternoon is the extreme sun intensity. That radiant heat makes "hot" even more intense.
...
Yeah, I can see that! <grin>
Great tip,
Bob
I'm going to the Can-Am Experience this weekend in Elk Grove, CA. Not exactly around the corner but the best timing.
Like you said, Warsuul, I've signed up to ride an F3 for the purpose of seeing...
My first Spyder ryde in the rain surprised me quite a bit. The rider protection is pretty good, and I noticed after getting home that my boots were hardly damp and not soaked. Better than I expected....
I had my "final solution" - and yes, it actually says that on the shop ticket - done two weeks ago. Fred Cummings Motorsports here in Bakersfield didn't ask me for any money. Took about 2 hours from...
Hmm... in California's Central Valley, there are three seasons, in no particular order:
1. Chilly
2. Hot
3. Scorching
Once in awhile, water falls out of the sky. Depending on your elevation, it...
On my 2019 RTL, and on my 2014 ST, the back end of the license plate bolt is accessible from under the rear fender/fender extension/whatever you want to call it.
The wire to the passenger seat...
Maybe the '22 models are different, but I have a '19 like EdMat. BRP Connect app is almost worthless, and once I'm on the road, the only choice is to crank it way up and listen to thin, tinny,...
A problem with equilibrium inhibits me from riding much on two wheels. As a long-term Harley owner, I gave them the first opportunity to convince me by riding both of their trikes. (There is a new...
Unfortunately, parts availability and getting good service seems to plague BRP too. Witness the recent issues with the sprocket recall, and that Spyder dealers are getting few and far between...
One of my favorite quotes is in my signature, courtesy of Mr. W. C. Fields... whose picture is my avatar!
First off, congratulations! Great looking Spyder!
As far as "brake pedal extender" I'm not quite sure what you mean. But if it is the oversize pedal pad, don't waste your time and money. I wear...
In the garage:
2019 Spyder RTL
1991 Harley Davidson Sturgis
Pics of both in this site's garage.
In the driveway:
2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee (mine)
2021 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (wife's)
Here in California's Central Valley, we are finally seeing a bit of rain lately. Temps are in the high 50s during the day with lows in the low 40s. There has been some snow up high in the surrounding...
Well, no one gets out alive, so the best you can do is leave an enduring legacy.
Christine McVie is definitely among those with an enduring legacy.
Many, many others though... each with their...
I unsubscribed from everything except "Can Am On-Road" at the time of my initial post.
Since then, I've gotten 2 emails for On-Road, 1 for Off-Road and 2 for SkiDoo.
It does make you wonder... ...
BRP is a Canadian company (Valcourt, Quebec) so if the part is made in the USA, it is still a "foreign" item from BRP's viewpoint.
I agree it's frustrating to wait for so long, but the rest of...
