    I am new to the spyder arena. I traded in the 2 wheels in May and bought my 2014 rt. I live 70 miles north of Indy. I see very few spyder ' s in my area and feel a bit like a local novelty. Lol.. I get all my useful information from this site from tires to farkles and everything in between. I appreciate all the good information I get here, so keep it coming.. My wife and I ride about 300 to 400 miles a weekend and love every minute of it!!!!! Coolest thing I have ever owned.. Eric

    Some forums have a dedicated New Members Introduction section. If there is one here I did not see it.


    It's a butte. No, it's a mound. Right purdy, too.

    You are absolutley correct! Same old opinions, same old people trying to increase there post count. We will have to overlook "obsessive Bob". After all he is a fixture around here and his miss's won't let him out in public anymore. What's a guy to do. At least Bob is funny,weird, helpful, loves music and usually has something to add. Then there are the "one word" posters who chime into everything and really say nothing. One of them is taking a self assertiveness class net Monday----if his wife will let him.

    Keep those cards and letters coming in folks. Correctness be damned. How do you really feel? Forget about what you think people want to hear. What do you want to say.(no I am not running for president)

    I am 6'2'' 195lbs married with 2 daughters.... . hihihihihi.... One of the 2, and her husband have 2 RSS and my wife and I also have 2 spyders. One RS and one ST. Therefore we got a trailer made to fit the 4 spyd3rs on it, (i.e. 7'2'' X 20', 2 X 3500lbs axles). I pull the 5th wheel, and they pull the spyd3rs..... We are able and equipped to ''explore'' the north american continent. We are retired, and they still work..... poor them...!!!!!!

    Other than that, my wife an I are wagonmasters for a group of RVers. So far we covered Canada from the atlantic (St-Johns,NL) to the Pacific (Vancouver Island, BC), and the USA and Mexico south to Guadalajara and Acapulco, stayed 5 weeks in Puerto Vallarta ,coming back by the pacific coast. Florida including the keys to Key West, and West coast (except California) were also visited. Spent winters in Arizona twice.

    When we are home, (not often ) we life north of Montreal, QC. Canada. We also visited France for a month using the car rental and mobile home rental in the campgrounds formula. We skied the Alps, the Rockies, and went to spain for our honeymoon.... The east coast beaches have no secrets for us. (Visited Myrtle beach 27 times, the NC outbanks, Viginia Beach, Cape May, Atlantic city, Cape Cod, Rhode island, N.H. and Maine)

    Other than that, I enjoy mechanic, do my own maintenance on the 4 spyd3rs, the Cummins hauler, and the 3 others cars and Jeep.

    Other than that, we are quite normal peoples, living our little lives..... as long as the health will hold on, we will continue to live our ''dull'' life

    When we are home, we ride with the ''Club Spyder des Laurentides'' every saturday, and are going to Spyderfest and all.... next week, labour day weekend, we will go with 250 other Spyders for a weekend (5 days) in ''lake st-Jean'' Québec, to support the ovary cancer research cause.

    Here is a pic of our trailer loaded with the Spyd3rs.....







    That's about it......!!!!

    Anyone else turn......

    Default Dang your nosey!

    I'm a stalker, been reading this site for about two years. Bought my Spyder in April 2015. Test drove Spyder originally in 2014. Finally worked it into my budget this year.
    Rode it 350 miles home 2 days after buying. Made the trip to Spyderfest for an alignment, that wound up being 490 miles, same day.
    Took a trip to Monticello Iowa one day round trip 790 miles. Heading to Vegas September 27th for Vegas Bike Fest. Be home October 4th that should be about 2800 miles give or take depending on weather and which route we take. Right now I have about 3800 smiling miles on my RT.

    I do want to thank everyone for their input on this site although you have caused excess stress on my debt load. But very thankful, without your inputs the ride would not be nearly as enjoyable.

    I sell wholesale building material's and I am a volunteer firefighter. If you see a Kansas firefighter tag on a Cognac RT S Spyder its probably me.

Tricled saddlebag, fender side & rear, 3rd & 4th brake light, and mirror turn signal LED's.

    Thanks for posting. Like u I stalked this site for a couple years realized I'm probably one of the youngest on here so didn't post. Felt not old enough I guess. Anyways we care about your thoughts and want to learn about your experience as well with your Spyder. Dan P is the reason I started to post more and feel comfortable on here and he probably doesn't even know what impact he had with our first pm back and forth.

    So to all you stalkers out there. Bob D knows your looking at spyder lovers so you better start posting something on here.

    That last part was a joke.

    Red face Brand new

    My wife and I just purchased a 2015 F3-S and I discovered this forum about a month ago. This is forum is a wealth of information and entertainment. Love just checking in and learning about our F3-S. I still ride two wheels and my wife has adopted the Spyder.
    We live just north of Lake Tahoe in the Calif. Sierra Navada mountains, not far from Reno NV. I am a retired educator and my wife is a semi-retired nurse. So....we have time for riding vacations that have taken us over most of the western states and western Canada.
    While I am still getting used to the three wheel experience, I really enjoy the F3-S. Lots of torque and very comfortable. We took advantage of the fit system for my wife so she is comfortable and confident. At this point we have put on about 1200 miles just Riding around our local roads to points of interest. We are planning a 550 mile ride in a couple of weeks to Mamoth Calif to catch the fall colors. Thanks to the expertise of the forum members I have made several modifications; sway bar, front shocks, xcree wind shield, skid plate, and added brake/turn signal LED. In addition when we purchased the Spyder, we ordered the heated grips, aux. lights, floor boards, and saddle bags (yet to arrive).
    We live in the small,town of Loyalton Ca. and if you are ever in the neighborhood give me a pm and we may have an opportunity to hook up for a ride.
    Again, my thanks to all who contribute to this forum.

    You just missed THE western US Spyder event, Spyders in the Redwoods. Maybe next year. There is a very active Spyder Ryders of America group in the Sacramento area and I know of a few that are in the Tahoe area. They have a Facebook page Spyder Ryders of America - Sacramento Chapter.

    Hi there,
    New member myself and most of you have seen me on this website and know that I am on a journey to buy F3-S.
    My name is Darren I am 41 years of age and I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. I am a pest control technician and therefore kill pests for a living such as rats, mice, cockroaches, ants, wasps, bees (not honey bee) beetles, flies, fleas, bedbugs, pigeons, moles, grey squirrel and many other pests.
    I am a father and petrol head. My claim to fame was I was on tv back in 2013 and I was on a programme called "I Want That Car" which is now repeated on Sky and can be watched on You Tube.
    I enjoy travel in the UK, food and anything to do with motoring

    Surely, you jest...



    Seriously...
    My screens show that we have 590 pages of members...
    But you have to get to page 294, before you get to the members who have posted at least one post...
    Half of the members signed up, and never said a word...
