58 years old, been riding 2 wheelers for 46 of those, Wife of 27 years (who rides a Yamaha C3 to work and shopping every week, weather permitting) didn't enjoy riding with me UNTIL our '13 Spyder RTL purchased this Oct. She's even driven it herself today (29 Oct '16).

Worth every penny!

Both me & wife age 62 ride a 2013 RTL purchased new in June 2016 w/only 975 miles. Prior to the Spyder purchase, drove 2 wheelers but will never go back. Feel so much safer and that's a good thing. 😎 One of the best purchases I have ever made. Absolutely Love the Spyder. There is not a day that goes by that I don't get at least one complement on how awesome the bike looks. I did put on a new Ultimate black mid-rider seat w/Pearl white ostrich inlays & embroidered spyder logos that transforms the whole look into the Wow factor.

57 and enjoying my first Spyder.

I like the poll for this ... majority of those polled in the 60's

[Bob Denman]

Did you sell that V-Star yet?

[Mikel53]

Jenfz09 found this four year old thread today which asked how old Spyder owners are. Mike thought it would be interesting to see how things may have changed in four years.

I agree, Mike. So here you go... (Individual poll respondents will not be listed with names.)

Riding a 2015 RTL at age 63

[blacklightning]

Purchased my 2014 RT 2 years ago, after having an accident on my 2 wheeler. The wife was upset and didn't want me on 2 wheels again. This past July, I convinced her to let me pick up another 2 wheeler to go with the spyder. After only 4 short months, I realize that I still am in love with the spyder, but want something a little sportier. So today a guy is picking up the 2 wheeler, and tomorrow I go to pick up my 2012 RSS to satisfy the hooligan that is left in me. The RT will still get lots of love, but mostly when riding 2 up with the wife.
BTW, just turned 50 this past August.

[Papahoosh]

My wife and I have two spyders and we are in are 30's. To be fair we are disabled veterans so we feel older than what we are.

Thank you for your service.

I was starting to feel a little old at 74 until I attended the Red Rock Rallye last month. It looked an outing from a retirement home! Felt much better. Just guessing, but looked like 65 average to me. More surprising than age, were the number of women riders! A real eye opener. Very cool!

So what is the real purpose of this thread? Not sure what this all means or does it have any meaning. Are you young "whippersnappers" trying to cull us out of the herd or what?

Had to give up my BMW as I was starting to feel a bit unsafe with my wife on. Thought about Spyders for a few years and last month I bit the bullet and purchased a 2016 RT-S Special Series (it was my wife who decided on the color).
I'm 79 and she's 77, but still loves to ride. I do too! I have to admit that I feel a lot safer with three-wheels.

[Dmetcalf]

Figure I might just go ahead and own it. I'll turn the big SIX 0 in less that a month. Love the 3 wheel upgrade. Two wheels worked well for 40 years but I believe it's a natural progression to go to 3 wheels at some point.

[Gator37]

Turned 80 in April, still riding in the wind after almost 60 years on two wheelers. Traded my Ultra Classic and Goldwing for my 2014 RT-s two years ago and never looked back. Still think I'm 19 till my 80 year old Body says, "You're gonna do what"?

sometimes a thread does't need a purpose. Just nice to hear others opinions and experiences. I'm 67 and have owned 18 2 wheelers since i was 16. Got 2 bad knees now but did not want to give up, so the spyder.

All that we're saying is:

70 years young here. Maybe it's the altitude but my attitude is much younger and so is my wifes. She really enjoys trips. Recently returned from a 2 week/ 2000+ mi. trip to the Black Hills, Devils Tower, and Cody Wy.

Our Spyders make us feel like 'Seenagers" again!
