I would like to thank everyone in this community for all the help and advice over the years. My wife and I owned the Syder for 2 riding seasons and put just over 18k miles on it. This community has always helped me with questions and concerns I have had. This is truly a great site for resources. The new owner has been advised it would be in their best interest to join as this is their first Spyder.

The Syder was the wife and I first motorcycle and have decided to give two wheels a go. I know. Kind of a little backwards than normal. We are excited to more great adventures.

Again, Thank You!! And be safe out there.

Interesting, was there something you didn't like about the Spyder?

Absolutely not. We loved that Syder. It was our first bike ever and just decided to give two wheels a try.

Nothing more fun than Leaning into the curves and counter steering - enjoy the ride.

It has been a lot of fun. Bought our bike at the end of last September and put 3000 miles on before the winter storage. Thanks!!

Thanks Bob. You were one of those that responded to a few of my posts and I appreciated the advice and assistance.

Will check in as the Spyder was near and dear.

You obviously are younger and will not have any issues with two wheels.
good luck.

Okay funny story. I was going to keep the Spyder but a buddy told me to not do both. Choose one because riding styles are different.

First weekend I had the two wheeler I stopped to park and.................I dropped it right on it's side. Reason, I forgot to put down the kickstand. For 18000 miles never had to worry about a kickstand. That is what led to selling the Spyder. :)

I can laugh now.

2014 Ultra Limited. Had 400 miles on it when I bought September of last year. Someone bought and never rode it. Got a pretty good deal because it was at an Indian Dealer.

I'm getting older and am close to getting my first 3 wheeler, so that makes us at opposite ends of the transition. Good luck and have many safe miles on your new ride. I have a very nice 2015 Indian Chieftain that will need a new home someday. I'm soon going to check out a new left-over 2017 Can Am Spyder F3 Limited and that might be my next ride. Have fun.

It was actually down between a F3-T and the Harley. Chose the latter. F3's are sharp.
