It would make a pleasant day trip, and I have no plans yet. I have not done a test ride on the 2014s yet. I'll watch this post and see if you get any other offers. Are you planning to head east as...

We like all of those roads. We like Bubba's Bar-B-Q in Eureka Springs.

Forgot one other suggestion--if you nap in the parking lot, put a sign on your chest or on the bike that says: I'm OK, just napping. Otherwise people stop by to help.

I've done some high 900 days, and other hi-mile days. Never focused on the 1,000--could have ridden around for a while at my destination to make the 1,000 but that was not the goal.

I prefer to...

I don't like everything about the Spyder, but I don't complain about much. Except this. I think this is poor engineering, creating dangerous distraction to use something that is so important.

Getting old, wanted one more new bike, figured I ought to go for 3 wheels. Didn't like standard trikes. Had a Wing, Beemer LT, 2 Yamaha Venture Royales. Liked them all. Like my '12 RTL. Now I...

Does the '12 RT Limited have one? I've never seen it. Too cold to go out to my detached garage to look!

You mean those inscrewable instructions?

I went in the garage the other day after not riding for about a week and smelled gas. I park my 2012 RT Limited in a detached garage with my other favorite v-twin ride, a Ferris IS2000 zero-turn...

So, you didn't keep any of those old right-foot shifters?

Two more votes for Shoei Neotech. Also had Nolan modulars and liked them. If you wear glasses and can put the helmet on or take it off without removing your glasses, it is probably too loose. I...

Highway 7 has always been my overall favorite since my first trip down it in 1980. I always stop for a picture at that sign that says "Curvy and steep next 50 miles." I also do the Talimena...

I had a 1980 Yamaha 850 triple. I really don't remember what it sounded like, but I know it was not objectionable. I'm sure it didn't sound like a diesel.

I like mine plain. I like the color better than any I've had in 50 years, except maybe my gold '83 Yamaha Venture Royale.

I've had a sleeveless heated vest and gloves for 15 years and use them regularly when the temperature goes down. Even though some people laugh, I use the vest for any long rides below 60 degrees...

Sure, trash bags were the obvious solution for the next 14 days. What a hassle! And should not be necessary.

I always get frustrated when any of my touring bike luggage leaks, and for the last...

It's a 2012, delivered in March 2013 from the factory. Hopefully has the latest upgrade.

I wish it was a little more watertight. On our first trip with the RT-622 we had a good day of rain. When I opened the front lid I noticed some wet items along the sides, and that the carpet was wet....

Excellent procedure description, & it worked. I had to repeat about 6 times, but it had started to fire a couple of times, so I kept trying. Ran the battery below minimum cranking power, so had to...

2012 RT-SE, 13 months old, 20,000 mi. Engine turns over at normal speed, but won't start. Remind me, what are all the usual suspects? Got gas. Kill switch checked. All indicator lights appear...

Only 20,000. Embarrassed to say it, but I had 25,000 the first year on my GW. But that was 10 years ago with a custom seat. I'm older and slower.

They even have a special course layout for the driving test. My wife took it. The instructor told her she could not ride a 2-wheeler (not sure if that was because of the license limitation or her...

Hello JT, I would take a ride to St Louis. Look up the dealers & call/email to see what brands they have in stock. I have had Nolan modulars and prefer my current Shoei Neotech with built-in...

Strangely, I had the same thing happen about a week ago. Have to admit I've never even looked at the "pause" opition & did not know about it. I cleared both A & B as I normally do, and B worked but...

Glad to read this post. I was worried because I thought you were just going to tie it to your Spyder with a rope and tow it home because you didn't have your hitch installed.

No water in the cylinders, but we did ride through a flooded area on US 24 in MO last week. The water was only about 6 inches deep and there was a MODOT crew there monitoring traffic. They told us...

I read about doing that years ago and tried it on my Gold Wing. They suggested, and I used, clear tubing and sliced it down one side and slipped it over. Was cheap but looked OK. It worked OK, but...

Hope you are both out and about soon. Good luck.

Don't do facebook. Could you post it here too?
