Retired LEO here. Chicago PD.
Good points on the other elements of your response and I agree 100% that riding requires learning, skills development, training, and then skills maintenance. The...
Well, it may be back on the table. The wife and I went out a couple of weeks ago on our bikes. Short 120 mile trip, Sunday morning trip, 0800, Estero to right around Lake Okeechobee. If you know...
Please, feel free to let me know if you would like any information on the CTX. My wife rides the 2015 with DCT. We have owned three Honda DCT bikes. We were unsure if we would enjoy it. Well,...
Well, I think this is a dead deal right now. I think I mentioned that my wife rides also. She was down with the idea of getting rid of both bikes and going to the CanAm. We went on a ride...
That is hysterical! Those threads sure do get a lot of traction for some reason! My right hand to God, I'll never start an oil or a tire thread.
Thanks for the input.

Thank you. Yes they do. Though we are not a large market overall, it is a very popular destination for powersports. just tons of bikes, trikes, and ATVs sold here every month. We don't have...
Very gracious! We live down in Estero, south end of Lee County Just north of Naples. Lakeland is not that far at all. It is just off a route that I ride from here up to Gainesville (I am...
Thanks everyone. Going for a test ride this weekend or next. I'll post after the ride. Safe travels to all! Mike.
I think I was leaning more toward the Cadillac XT5 (Which I own) than the Buick Roadmaster (which my parents owned) from the 80s! Kidding aside, that is all part of it. Unless it is a pure track...
Thank you. If I make the change, I'd be very interested in learning more about tires.
Glad to hear that and thank you for the welcome! What do you attribute the increased riding on the Can Am vs. a two wheel MC to? Is it that you enjoy it more than two wheels?
Quick...
DCT is incredible. Not sure if you heard, but they are upgrading it again for 2021. If I am understanding it correctly, they now have a rider programmed mode. So, the DCT will know not to go down...
Suspension and conspicuity lights are the first things I upgrade on my bikes. I bet that will be the same for a CanAm. I'm kind of a prima donna when it comes to suspension and handling...part of...
Oh absolutely. Agreed. I guess it did sound like I was suggesting MC riding and CanAm riding would be a one-for-one exchange. You know, the one thing I really find interesting is that the CanAm...
Well in my mind's eye I love your car more than your trike! I've been approved by the family CFO for a Vette or a Mustang. Had to build a damn pool to get that concession. Leaning Mustang but a...
Sorry to hear about the titanium parts added to the legs. Appreciate the insight. Honda keeps on saying the Neowing is coming, but it never does. If it was out I'd probably be leaning toward...
That is a great looking machine you have in your profile pic. Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad to hear that our ergos are similar and no problems!
Very helpful and informative. I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the input! I don't need speed really. I did get my VFR up to 100+ MPH on a closed road about 4 months ago just because I got a hair up my hindside, but I usually cruise at 75 to 80. ...
Thank you very much. Yes. We will ride them all. I have this 500 mile route we like to go watch the Gators play. Storage does come into play.
Very much appreciated! Your English is just fine. Sounds like a lot of effort you put into the bike!
Thank you very much! Yes. I have test ridden a Spyder in the past (long time) but not recently and never two up. That is on the schedule for this week.
Thank you very much! Blue Knights...If it is the same club as in Chicago, I 'm retired from CPD and then another agency in Florida.
Hi everyone. My wife and I are considering moving on to a Spyder, probably an RT. I am currently on a VFR1200X and she is on a CTX700. Both are DCT (we thought we would hate it but absolutely love...
