Been riding now 57 years. As such I always wave. I also ride two bikes, with a two finger down wave. It always occurs to me while on the Spyder I should give other Spyder and trike riders a three...

Mine lasted five years and I took pretty good care of it. About 2016 I walked into my local battery store. Before I get near the counter the guys says, "Oh, a Harley battery, no problem." I kind of...

Could be, it's been over fifty years since I last drove a tractor trailer. Times change.

Terry, while my Spyder was down waiting for the sprocket I set to work trying to reduce extraneous sound. My alignment was OK but I too worked the cricket. I screwed it all together at that...

Go to your local truck stop and buy one of the miniature baseball bats they sell for checking tires. Use it to get an even bounce from the front tires. OK good to go. Now since the rear is so hard to...

I've been riding with the new sprocket since late November. While I no longer hear the shaft grinding away at the sprocket I believe your noticing proper belt tension and alignment.

I'm a geezer too, with much of the same complaints. However going back to simple oil changes also could mean points, condensers and plugs along with the oil change. Now that I think of it that wasn't...

Oh Pete, don't say that Canadian thing. I never say "eh". My location is NoVA. As in Northern Virginia. BTW the story around here is that my dealer who is very large multi brand and carries, hordes...

Pete, thank you for your advice and concern. However I do have the silver sprocket. Keep in mind I live 750-800 land miles from Valcourt, Quebec. The vast majority of those miles on Interstate...

The struts on both the seat and trunk lid started to weaken last year. Mine is a 2016 RT. Of course it wasn't going anywhere due to the Red Dust of Death. So it sat, for six months. I'm not paying...

A couple of months late to this thread. I had mine done in mid November. Dropped it off mid week and picked it up the next week. I have no idea about any wait time for the Loctite, was never told...

Chip seal is the enemy.

I have a '16 RT and have found that cleaning and lubing the latches a couple of times a year works. It depends on accumulated road dust.

Along with a lighter grip is the need for mileage. It takes time to adapt to Spyder handling. Also, consider this. On a bike you have a single track hitting potholes, tar shakes and groves in...

Like fjray I also pull a Bushtec and have never noticed a fume problem. Neither has my wife and boy would she let me know.

But, I am a mite disappointed in the amount of dirt that the extra...

There's a new dealer in the NoVA area and I needed a new rear tire so I tried it out yesterday. Just being a tire change I suspect they gave the job to the shop mop.(junior man) Two hours later the...

I know from a pin that I have been going to Americade since 1988. Maybe before that too, I just don't remember that far back. I do know that Canada St. was not blocked off in the last thirty years....

I had 50 years of steady MC riding with around 500,000 two wheel miles. I knew going in of the transition problems. Still I felt retarted trying not to run off the side of road. 400 miles in I...

Navy 9, Cliff you will be missed. But Spyder Quest is coming with no rain.

I'll be there for the week. Just across the street from Fort William Henry.

Two thousand less, plus a new rear tire. That's max.

Spydrider1, Six more weeks in Wisconsin is one thing and understandable. Here south of the Mason-Dixon line it was 11 degrees this morning. Where's all that global warming that Al Gore invented?

Being a Luddite at heart I get confused with all this bluetooth/app/ stuff. And the radio switches on my RT-S is weird too. So, a buddy of mine put 1,100+ songs on a thumb drive. Stick that baby...

Hey I was in Telluride Sept. '16 too. We even found a parking spot for a Can Am, Harley and a Wing. That was only because of dumb luck.

But back to the OP. I'm a bit older than you, my riding...

Plmusic1, I'm about an hour and a half NW of you, between Winchester and Front Royal. We have three very active riders in our neighborhood. We would travel for special runs. Or ride to meet along...

Two years ago there was Spyder sales in the Fort William Henry parking lot. Last year there were more Spyder's than ever in Lake George because of riders going home from the Quebec
homecoming, I...

Do you like the Blue's? Here's a trip I have made several times. Ride to Memphis and do a Beale St. tour, day and night. Use the free bus to Sun Studios or Graceland. DO NOT go to far off Beale...

Hey, sounds good to me. I'm always up for a road trip. How about a Texas homecoming? And the locals speak English too, sort of. ;)

Grump, I have a 2016 RT-S and have the same problem here in Virginia, even today. That should change for the next 6 or 7 months in two more days.

You're in Arizona, you're screwed.

And I grew up 14 miles from mid town Manhattan. Climbing under my school desk to avoid the first strike. Like the swamps of Jersey would slow things down. What were the schools thinking?

Ah, the...
