    If this is true you should have stopped and taken time to strike up a conversation and joshed around with the guy. Only you allow someone to make you angry.

    I took my Spyder to Sturgis in 2010 when they were still pretty new on the scene and has zero problems. I've ridden all over the US with my group of buds that are all on HD's and have never had a problem.. other than I get most of the attention.
    While they're (my HD buds) all pretty sold on staying with 2 wheels, they have all said when they go to 3 wheels they would go with the Spyder. They also respect the power as I've always been able to dust any of them off the line... .

    Ride what you like... like what you ride. I could care less what anyone else thinks about my ride.

    Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
    Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
    Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
    Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

    Default So far so good.....

    Well I rode Harley's for years. Got the Harley tattoo , dog named Harley and my granddaughter is named Harley Lynn. Last bike before my 16 RT-S was a 13 anniversary edition Triglide. Buddy of mine bought a Spyder and I had always wanted to ride one. Rode it and really tried not to like it. Went back home and told my wife you need to ride this thing. Within a mile or 2 she said OMG this thing rides great !!! Three days later we traded for the Spyder. Got a couple thousand miles on it and it's been great so far. Will I stay with the Spyder , only time will tell. What I know right now is it really put the FUN back in riding. Only thing concerns me right now is the lack of dealers like Harley has and also the amount of sensors and things on the Spyder. Read post where people have theirs in the shop more than they ride then the next post someone has nearly 100k with only oil change and regular maintenance. Someday I could go back to Harley but for now we are really enjoying this ride. Like I said we ride Harley for years and don't have anything bad to say about them. Everybody I've rode with past and present are happy and I'm happy so it's all good. Chris .......

    I knew you would have to say something cus I know you like your Harley dudes. I don't get a lot of negative comments and when I do it has been exclusively from Harley riders. So I am glad you think they are all just wonderful, charming, just want to be your friend kind of guys but I have not had that experience. I avoid them if I can just so I don't have to hear the crap.

    I have not had a problem with any of the groups or places that I have been, most especially from bikers or bike owners.

    There was one curious issue, when I rode it to my credit union on a sunny morning last year.

    I parked the Spyder, removed helmet and started toward the door.
    Just as I took a step a very well dressed lady with probably 80 years of experience exited the building and walked toward me.
    She said, "Hello, is that your motorcycle? It sure is pretty."
    I said, "Well thank you mam, I am happy to hear that you like it."
    She kept walking and looked me in the eyes and said, "What a way to waste your money!"
    That the last time that I saw her, she got in her car and walked away.

    There are lots of assupmtions in your post.

    Perhaps ya had to be there to really have a sense of what went down.


    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    Okay: there's two pretty highly inflammatory assumptions right in your paragraph...

    So since you say that you "Never Make Assumptions": does this just make you a liar?
    Or merely a fool?

    I'm tired, after 8 years of ***** taken care of us. It seem to me the only smart people was the ones who ran to Canada.

    If that's the best that you can come up with for me:



    I'm usually called worse than that, by the folks who even admit to loving me...

    It's how an hour of "aerobics" will affect your typing abilities... which have never been all that great anyway.
