Went riding with a small group of Harleys the other day. Looking at the pretty fall colors. Well one of them had a 110 cubic inch slightly modified. Good god was that thing fast. He blew all the other Harleys off like they turn their key off. He was a better rider than the others also. Really busting the curves the others fell way behind. But along came the itsy-bitsy Spyder and wrapped him up in his Webb, ready for it's lunch. In the curves and straights. Let see that makes his engine almost twice as big as my little spyder. :spyder: In reallity the spyder wasn't that much faster but it was.:yes:

I have 5 Harleys, and my Spyder is faster than all of them when they are not on the NOS except for the 05 Screaming Eagle V-Rod.

However when I'm on the NOS with my Electra Glide or Heritage than it's a different story. :D

The Spyder weighs the same as my big twin twins and has more out of the box HP than they do. So the Spyder has a big advantage in the power to weight ratio for sure! :2thumbs:

When ridden hard the Spyder can surprise quite a few people for sure! :shocked:

Ya, but I know this guy. He's a multi millionaire and i'm sure in a couple of weeks the Harley will blow me away. I can't compete with that kind of money. But we still can have fun riding.

Last time we rode with Harleys they had to slow down on the twisties due dragging crome. The spyder held right in and ran off leaving them.

HDX's Harley beats any Harley with all the :cus: he has done to it performance-wise. He does say that the :spyder: can come pretty close to his though. Then again, I go fast but not like him!

I ride with mostly Harley's. Met a great group of guys on an HD forum and we do a lot of riding together year round. As a matter of fact here's a pic of my Spyder crammed in the line of HD's as we were on a ride today.

Spyder can't hang with my 109 with or without the juice but it is still a lot of fun. :thumbup::doorag:

Seems like the Harley riders do like the :spyder:. At least I've gotten the nicest comments from them. It's the snot nosed women I get the bad comments from. Funny, I bet most of them never rode themselves except for on the back.

No but he owns four airplanes, the air strip, a corrvett, and four other Harleys including a V-rod. And to top it off is a heck of a nice guy. So were the other Harley riders.:cheers:
