I recently sold my beloved '99 Harley Softail and bought a 2014 RT Limited. My wife and I were going to lunch to celebrate my birthday and just happened to stop at the Can Am dealer on the way. We went in only to look around. After 20 minutes of visiting with the salesman, my wife was in love with it. We went on to lunch with my wife looking at the brochure through our meal. After we ate, we went back and made the purchase. I got it home on 11/18. I finally got to take it out last weekend due to the weather. After a 300 mile Saturday ride, I am not looking back. What a fun ride. Amazing how fast I got used to no clutch, no hand brake and keeping my feet up at stops. The only negative is, this thing wants to speed. I will learn to hold it back. Looking forward to warm weather.

Like your story. I switched from 2 wheels to the spyder in October and love it as well. You're right about it wanting to go quickly. My wife couldn't ride the 2 wheeler due to her MS but she loves the spyder as do I. Have over 1100 miles on it so far and like you and all the others, waiting for better weather. Have fun.
My wife couldn't ride on my Harley due to her back. She is really excited about getting to ride again. It does look nice in my Harley garage. Sedalia MO Pettis CO Courthouse.jpgNew Book.jpg

I was riding a 2010 Harley Ultra Limited which I put 30K miles on prior to purchasing my 2014 RTS. No regrets for me either, especially when I'm sitting in traffic! I can't wait to take some trips with my newly acquired 622 trailer in tow.

I had actually been looking at the Spyders for a couple years. I just got lucky that the dealer had the bike I wanted and the salesman picked up on who he had to sell. I couldn't eat fast enough when she said we needed to go back and buy it. Crazy thing is, until that day, I had never even sat on one. My wife had never even been up close to one.

I saw an add one time on TV at a store (don't watch TV). Had sold my wing and all my gear bike trailer and all and resigned myself to being bikeless when we moved th San Diego. Bought a fixer upper house and spent two years working on it when my wife said she missed the bike and I should get another. Remembering the spyder I said if I do it would be something like that. For my birthday she said lets go look at one. Needless to say I drove it home and look forward to the next ryde everytime I put her up from the last one...

Very nice. I have two wheelers in the garage along with the spyder. The Spyder is such a good ride that the two wheelers hardly ever see the light of day. You and your wife are in for a lot of good times on the Spyder. Congrats!
