Enjoy the ride!
I am sure everyone has a different experience, but at first corners at speed made me nervous. Not so much now, 3000 miles or so later. You may experience some apprehension about...
I drove it down to the dealer, about 40 miles, in a rain storm on Saturday. Picked it up today, a beautiful crisp sunny spring day, and they had washed it, very well, and all seemed good. Larson...
About 2800 miles in my reverse quit working. Wettest Seattle winter in years so it had been sitting a while. Service called yesterday to say they replaced the reverse solenoid and all works now. ...
Another ham on an RT. No rig on bike yet.
Thanks. No codes. I'll bring it into the shop Saturday.
Too rainy to ride to test more right now. Seattle in Spring!
Bike has been sitting a few months. GO for a ride and reverse doesn't work, then, after a few miles, it won't automatically downshift. Any thoughts?
2015 RT with 3000 miles. Going in for...
I just bought my Spyder at Pro Caliber Vancouver (WA) a few weeks ago. Met Shawn while I was there, letting him know I bought the Spyder there, more than three hours from my house, because of him. ...
Just another newbie saying welcome. 2100 miles in after about 5 or 6 weeks, and having a blast. I ride it most every day. Only driven MY car once since I bought the Spyder, though my wife and I...
Very cool and fun!
Welcome. I am just about a month in, and just about 2000 miles. I think I am just about over any fears in high speed bouncy corners and the like. You'll see that everyone here recommends the...
First off, thanks for your service, Bruiser.
Did a breakfast run with my wife. We bought this Spyder as she hated my sidecar idea, which I'd talked about for decades, as the seating is bad for...
Yeah, it was a part of my 1000 mile first trip. Pretty good place. I just noticed some part of that filed for bankruptcy toward the end of last year, though some deal was in the works in April...
No, it never has happened. Honestly, it wouldn't have occurred to me except for the comments here. Well, and I am part of group that meets every Friday night in a part of town where a good number...
I hear ya. I gotta sell mine, but haven't yet. Wish I had the space/money/time for both.

I took this course, and it was superb. Sidecars big and small, a trike and a couple Spyders. Pretty cheap, too.

Rained like crazy one...
Yeah... I have a half cover for that!

I left a beautiful Moto Guzzi for the SPyder.
One thing I've noticed is, I was a cool guy to other bikers with a Guzzi, but now I suck. I rarely bother to wave, as most ignore me when I do. ...
I use a cargo mesh from my old Guzzi. So far so good... and compact.

I just checked and all the Spyder Sisters stock is sold out.
I'm a newbie here, too...and welcome you. About a month in with 2000 miles. It's taken this long to get truly comfortable with the turns in town, and I am almost there with the sharper turns at...
When I bought my Moto Guzzi I got one, figuring I would add a sidecar. I live in rainy Seattle and it is pretty good about keeping things dry but not warm. Humidity is still there. I also get...
I bought my RT about a month ago and am at about 2000 miles. Just this past weekend I started getting over my fear of high speed sweeping turns, especially on the highway. Part of the solution...
I'm excited for you, because, I can tell you I am still excited for me! I've been riding about a month, and for the first time in 29 years of marriage, my wife wants to ride with me on a bike......
Congrats! I really enjoy my RT. I had a beautiful Moto Guzzi before, but this is an entirely different beast... and i love riding it. Enjoy!!
I didn't really watch wrestling, but that guy got my attention! rip
I bought mine about a month ago and have about 1700 miles on it. I still have a bit of nervousness on the freeway, but love it. I'd thought about Spyders for years. My wife was on the test...
I have been driving about a month, so new, too.
Also, plant the foot firmly that is on the outside of the curve... and don't be afraid to push firmly on that outside handlebar.
Enjoy! I...
My first Farkle, and really only on so far.. is the Utopia backrest. REALLY helped my back. Just finished 1000 mile trip plus.. and NO problems.. which is new for me!
I just installed one and it worked perfectly on my recent 1100 miles plus trip!

On my 1000 mile plus trike trek from Seattle, to Portland, to Bend, Oregon, to Hood River to Seattle...I saw one.
