    Default Not Spyderless in Seattle

    For the first time since late 2008 I no longer have a Spyder I put over 68k on my 09 RS with not one hiccup, it was a tank and now its at a new home home as of this past Sunday. I told the new owner about SL and I am sure he has signed up and will be posting sometime soon. As for me, well I still have some toys but non with 3 wheels; I do however keep an eye out for Bargains but only for a RT now, not sure when and if that will happen but I have 68k miles on the RS as a memory and they were an absolute blast.

    I thought I would go from my RS to the RT but found the F3 a more comfortable ride. There are great deals out there. Keep your eyes open for your RT!!!!

    Glad to see that the memories of the are good ones. We sure liked those early GS/RS models. Never had any issues with either.

    We became RT people and have also never looked back. A mixed bag when it comes to the F3. People either like them--or not. I still like the RT. The F3 looks are wonderful--but the ergos don't work for me.

    140,000 Spyder miles and counting.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    You'll be back on one eventually!

    I had an '81 Goldwing, sold it in 1994, not really expecting to ever get another one. I spent the next 12 years scanning the classifieds looking for a irresistible deal. Bought a left over 2005 in 2006 for a retirement present for myself!

    It's me! I started commuting on the RS this week, nasty biting cold, and I love every minute. Big thanks out to crazycanuck for parting with his loved spyder. It's going to get many more miles.
