Our group, the rusty spokes, are now almost a 3 wheelers. Alot of Harley trikes, Can Am Spyders, and Gold Wing. When the legs start giving out, a choice has to be made, either quit biking or go for...
Ever ride behind the Harley's? Our group has 5 CanAm's and the rest are Harley's mostly. But, when the Harley's shift, guess what, clunk! Don't worry about it. Just enjoy the ride.
In our riding group, we have 5 can am's and the rest are harleys, gold wings, etc....problem is solved when we old farts need our breaks we also fill up the tanks....
Yesterday, the Rusty Spokes (10 of us) made the special trip up to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. The purpose was to visit this holy ground devoted to our sisters and brothers. It was a moving sight to see...
When we are on a group ride and park, we back to the curb and leave enough safe space for another bike to safely park next door. It is a very orderly procedure and never had any problems.
I agree with you. Best thing to do is to test drive the various models to see which one would be the most comfortable and meets your needs. I am 74 and last year I picked up a very low mileage 13...
I am also in that same life mode. After having 2 heart valves replace and a by-pass, my goal is to keep going. Our group is now up to 17 riders and we plan to go out together once a week for lunch....
It is really nice when putting the rtl away for the winter but yet want a .75 charge maintainer on it. Going to attached a power outlet to the lead for the frunk. It is great to pass ideas along to...
A friend of mine bought a used RTL and the ride was not right. He took it in for a laser alignment and it worked wonders. Also, he had the front 2 wheels balanced. Says it rides like a new bike. ...
Just to let you know, I also have back and leg problems. Best thing I ever did was to buy my 13 RTL. I have no problems with riding on it and I thank BRP for inventing it.
Most bikes have the lead attached to the battery for charging from a battery charger.Can a person make a 2 wire lead with + and - connectors and connect up with another battery with engine running?
Glad you are able to ride again. There is nothing like riding a Spyder and enjoying what the Lord has created. Our group of "seniors" enjoy the weekly rides and get togethers for lunch. Our bunch...
The "syder" is nether a car or motorcycle its "C, none of the above"????....mmmmm, that should get some comments from out there!
In our group more and more 2 wheelers are going over to either trikes or can am's. My preference is the can am which I consider to be the cadallac out there. Our group now has 5 can am members...
A friend of mine just checked on prices here up in Wisconsin at a place in Johnson Creek. They charge $168 and the belt must also be aligned that costs another $90. Time is approx. 1 hour and 15...
What is the real reason for the frunk button. I have a 13 RTL and when I had the recall for the vents put on, I think the shop de-activated it. Is there a way of re-activating the button switch? ...
Yep, I agree with you. Who cares about the gas mileage when the real reason is riding for fun and being with guys on the ride. A person only lives once on this earth and should enjoy every minute...
Yep, I sure hear you!!!!....I too have a 13 RTL and love it....I cannot complain about it at all...Yep, I have added a few more conviences such as an air seat cushion, direction signal lights...
I use the brand Yamaha windshield polish. It goes on really easy and buffs off just as well using an old bath towel. In the rain, the water just beads off. A caution of warning on using RainX on...
If you are retired like I am and live at a MacDonalds every morning having coffee with the guys, you will be surprised to find out that some of them ride bike. Our group was formed there. We are...
Will head for Johnson Creek which is half way between Milwaukee and Madison. Only one of 2 that has the laser alignment machine.
A friend of mine just had his front wheels balanced on his RT. His comment was WOW and the wheels were really out of balanced. Taking his experience, I too, did the same thing on my RT. Not so bad...
Apparently not enough to do!...A gentleman is right in saying spiders on spyders...Why get all excited!....life is toooooooo short!....Just ride and ride!
For all the work that you do in spreading the word. Hopefully, many people will pickup that word and find the way to salvation. It is too bad that so many people do not find that direction. Keep...
Lots of guys in our group are switching over to the RT's from the Harleys etc. As we age, the two wheelers become harder to control. It becomes more of a safety issue especially if you have a rider...
We now have 6 spyders in our riding group. Another rider just up graded from a 2 wheeler and LOVES it. 12 of our group were riding this past Thursday for a short 200 miler. Just take your time a...
I have a 13 spyderRTL and I know fellow owners have said stuff under their breath. How the heck can I see what the fluid level is when it difficult to see it. Sure, guys flash their lites on the...
A good example is the new vehicles today that are dependent more on electronics etc...Guess what, those are the vehicles that have the problems and recalls based on electronics. Not so much on the...
I do carry zip ties for any emergencies while riding. Your idea is a good one! Why mess around with glues, cements etc. when there is a simple solution.
