I did my first ride on my Spyder today. Cruised around Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, CA. Stopped at Home Depot and had plenty of room in the "trunk" for two weather proof electrical outlet assemblies and some 3/4 PVC pipe fittings.
The weather was hot today and the Spyder air temp readout was over 90 so it always felt good to be moving. Wearing a T shirt - my bad.
I thought the ride was smoother than I expected and it felt more like a sports car than my two TW200 Yamaha trike conversions. I'm sure that was due to the big power difference. However, if I tried to ride the Spyder in some of the places I've ridden my TWTrikes, the Spyder would still be sitting out there somewhere ;D
I've now set the front shock preloads to maximum because I felt like it was too soft for my 240 pounds.
