Be happy and ride safely.
Trailer -- if it is 5 ft. wide there won't be any problem.
Gas mileage -- like everybody says, plan on 30 mpg and be happy if you do better. Sadly, there is no way you can claim that buying a Spyder...
Forrest and Dave regaled me with some "Doc" stories over lunch today. Can't wait to meet the legend in person!
Furniture company called. Will be here between 9:30 and noon. Hope it's earlier rather than later.
Then I'll give you a call as soon as the furniture is delivered.
Somebody will likely come up with an iPhone or Droid app. Surprised that nobody has done it yet.
We've yet to meet but Doc lives pretty close to me, as does someone who owns a yellow Spyder that I've seen a couple times. Next time we have a Wed. night without rain I'll go to the big bike event...
I realized that there is more than one Powersports dealer and it is highly unlikely that you would be having service done in Clearwater. On the outside chance that you will be in Clearwater, I'd love...
I just realized that my profile only listed "Florida" as my location, and as we all know, Florida is a pretty big place. Sorry for any confusion that this may have caused.
Just north of Clearwater. Palm Harbor.
I'll be at home waiting for a furniture delivery until about 11 or 12. Do you think you will be there very long, cause if you are, maybe we can do lunch?
I recall a less expensive set of risers mentioned around here. Around $129.00?
Now that fall is around the corner,will there be a Westcoast Spyder gathering sometime in the not too distant future? I'd really like to meet Doc and some of the individuals who have a bunch of miles...
Haven't gotten one yet because I want to see one in person before purchasing one. Made a $500.00 mistake with my Piaggio don't need to do that again.
Winter coming? Saints be praised! It has been hotter than the hinges of hell for months. On top of that there have been " pop-up" thunderstorms almost every day and at virtually any time. Now, if we...
I think I would have a very heated discussion with the dealer. Totally unacceptable.
Been riding since I was 16, been married 38 years. Wife has never been on the bike, ever. Oh well, the only complaint she had when I bought my Spyder was that I paid cash and she was unaware that I...
Link not for the windshield dealer mentioned.
Are you saying that the windshield is only $99.00? Really? link please.
Is it possible to do the large patch in white?
"I don't see the market. Small displacement ruins the experience. They would have to lighten the vehicle considerably and make it extrememly nimble. They need to focus on making ours more nimble!!...
You were telling my story, except i was going after an RS in silver. Had my heart set on one but nobody could find one anywhere in the state of Florida. My dealer got me by bringing me out back to...
I am certainly no engineer but wouldn't they have to lighten the Spyder if they tried to power it with a smaller engine?
And I really think the bigger issue is price, not MPG.
IMHO a 650cc on a...
If you have established a relationship with a local dealer you can have them order the bags and pay for them when they come in. They might be willing to do the right thing -- help out a fella serving...
When posting about a repair issue, please include the yr and model. I keep reading about the steering issue but still don't know if only specific models are affected and if the issue was resolved...
Ditto. Very good to hear that not all Spyders spend 1/2 their life at the shop. Care to share the yr/model of your ryde?
Based upon where you live, I assume you've already been to Jeckle Island. Historic, but not military. There is a campground but likely booked for that weekend. But it is a really neat place to see...
Remember that Starke has a pretty bad reputation for speed traps along SR301.
Red RS heading south on A1A St. Augustine Beach at around 11:30 a.m., 08/10/2010.
O.K. they are asking MSRP for the 2010 RS-S so the price listed is where the negotiations should begin. Do your homework and see if there are any new '09s out there and see if you can point to a...
