In my opinion the Dragon is overrated and dangerous at times due to the idiots coming the opposite direction who come over the center line on blind curves. The Cherohola is beautiful, not challenging...

I've had my 2021 RT for almost 3 years, and I'm just short of 12,000 miles. I plan on getting an appointment for an oil change and service and wondered about tires. The two front ones look like they...
Helmets are a very personal item. What is great for one rider is torture for another. I've been a Shoei user for decades, and currently wear a Neotec 2 (which you can get for about $600 since the...
Please remind me how to edit my signature block in my profile.
Toe shifter for me. Maybe because I learned to ride with that type of shifting and as it is said, its hard to teach an old dog new tricks. The one bike I tried with a heel/toe shifter had me...
Foam grip covers might work better than leather-like ones. Every motorcycle that I have owned in the last 20 years or so benefited from the addition of inexpensive foam grip covers. And depending on...
I occasionally get emails from Can Am, as I sure most of you do. Normally I just delete them without reading them, but today's email was about luggage accessories. I have an RT, not an RTL, and while...
This thread has made clear what most of us already know, that the Spyder is a far more comfortable ride than the little Ryker. But for those who are concerned over the huge price difference between a...
I hate the hassle of adding air to the rear tire, so at the start of the riding season I put new batteries in my TPMS tire caps and then bring the psi to 2 or 3 above the recommended 28. And for the...
I keep reading about people making this change but wonder if it is really only the older Spyders that need it. My 2021 seems to take curves just fine. Of course I am steering rather than leaning but...
I've had my RT for over 2 years now, and have read on this website plus elsewhere that without a cover on the exposed drive belt there is a chance of having gravel or other debris from the road get...
I have a similar gauge. The problem is properly affixing it to the valve stem, and also properly attaching the air pump. When I lie on my back I first attach an extension piece, to which I can then...
The other day I went through this routine to get my 2021 RT ready to ride. With the FOBO2 TPMS caps, and by starting out with a tire pressure a bit higher than what CanAm recommends, I have found...
I bought my first Spyder RT new in the summer of 2021. Right now I have just under 12,000 miles on the OEM Kenda tires. The front tires look like new. The rear tire does not look like new, but the...
When you first ride a Spyder, make sure your mindset is in the right place. Take it as a totally new experience, not a "motorcycle", i.e., 2 wheeler experience. Several years ago I flirted with the...
Not to steal the thread, but for hot weather riding I have not found anything better than the Klim Induction jacket. It has excellent armor and allows a huge amount of airflow. The Spyder's...
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and although I left that godforsaken place almost 60 years ago, habits are hard to break. I never feel comfortable leaving a key in the ignition or even in the cup holder of...
I've thought about this for years. But when I am honest with myself I think that I would not wear it enough to justify the cost. For colder weather I am okay with my old Tourmaster jacket with...
I don't park in handicapped spaces unless I am handicapped. I don't take up two or more motorcycle only spaces with my Spyder either. Those spaces are clearly intended for narrower, two wheeled...
I don't plan on doing this to my rear tire, but I share the frustration with getting to the stem on the rear tire. I installed a TPMS system so that I don't have to check the tire pressure manually,...
A year or two before I decided that 3 wheels might be what I needed and that the Goldwing was feeling heavier and heavier each riding season, I was hoping for the Neowing to be a reality. I did...
Saving money on lodging generally means compromising on quality and amenities. Personally I like to stop for the night at a decent motel that either has a restaurant in the building or a decent one...
When range and recharging time issues are solved, we will all go electric whether we like it or not. But we are far from there at this point. I no longer plan on touring with my Spyder, but I still...
I rode 2 wheelers for several decades, but traded in my Goldwing for an RT two years ago when I was 78. I love my Spyder and despite steering rather than leaning I find it very much a motorcycle...
Its your bike and you are free to do what you please, but I don't get why you would do it in the first place. Personally I think that the engineers who designed my Spyder know a lot better than...
Two days ago I got out for a nice ride, and I think that it may have been the last ride for the season. Temps are down to the 40's, so while I certainly could ride, I find its just not much fun when...
The weight and all of the uncertainty that went with that is why I gave up the Goldwing. My wife was getting too nervous to ride with me, fearing that at a stop or slow speed I would not be able to...
I truly love my Spyder, and have not regretted for a moment trading in my magnificent Honda Goldwing for the 3 wheel Spyder. But I found that while I love the ride of the Spyder, sometimes I miss the...
A manufacturing defect can happen to any bike. I had several Triumphs over the years and never had a single major problem with any of them EXCEPT one had slight oil leak that could be fixed and...
The Wrangler sounds like great fun, and if it satisfies the urge that you used to fulfill with the Spyder then all is good. I'm 80 and no longer make the long trips and no longer ride across half the...
