The government, particularly NASA has been using nuclear batteries for a long time. The Voyager spacecrafts have been running on them for over 40 years and still are going yet. A nuclear battery...
Kind of like the Jackass movies except his ride is much more expensive than a stolen shopping cart.
After a dozen or so years since I first demo rode a Spyder and a few more demos in-between, I too am getting ready to do the same. Probably by springtime. It has gotten more difficult to hold up a...
Honda East Toledo is showing two of them on their website. Possibly in crates as their showroom is packed with other rides ( motorcycles, scooters etc.) besides Spyders.
You have to consider that a 1330cc motor is not going to have as much torque as an 1800cc motor. Horsepower probably is less as well. The other thing is power to weight ratio and that is probably...
If my memory serves me the 2017 F3 Ltd. was listed at well over $28K and American Powersports has this one at $23,999. I've checked Honda East in Maumee but their website wants a"click a quote". ...
I'm visiting one of the surgeons for a follow-up tomorrow and will see the other one in a couple weeks. I appreciate all of the words of encouragement. I will really miss riding once the weather...
We were on our way home Monday from a little weekend stay with our son in Nashville. We stopped in Findlay Ohio and ate lunch there. I suggested we stop by at American Powersports before going home...
There's an outfit named Tilting Motor Works that makes a front end tilting trike kit for Harley Davidsons and Honda Gold Wings. Tilts up to 45 degrees and also has an available hydraulic stabilizer...
I'm getting older and am close to getting my first 3 wheeler, so that makes us at opposite ends of the transition. Good luck and have many safe miles on your new ride. I have a very nice 2015...
I'm not sure how much motor is enough or too much for a Spyder. I once had a 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring which had 151 foot pounds of torque and something in the neighborhood of 120 horsepower. ...
I'm glad to hear the Spyders can be so durable. I can imagine there would be normal wear & tear items that would need to be replaced in order to reach such high mileage figures. Things like tires &...
For a lot less than five grand you can get a pedal unicycle and learn to balance it yourself. Probably still top out at 10 mph too.
Thanks all. Yeah it's a minor setback as I at least have my 2015 Indian to ride whenever I feel secure enough to do so. Thankfully it's already paid off. I just got the insurance statements on the...
I was considering going to an F3T or F3 Limited due to age related things but will have to wait another year due to hospital bills that are now coming in the mail. I had to have two eye surgeries...
Quite a few people use Shell Rotella 5T full synthetic in their motorcycles with wet clutches and have had good results. It's also available at Walmart in gallon jugs.
I have demo ridden 3 different Goldwing trikes. First was a 1500 with a solid rear axle and it rode and handled like a lumber wagon. The next two were GL1800 with independent rear suspension and...
Ten above zero and icy roads here. Lots of salt and gravel has been spread on them. I've seen quite a few sleds (snowmobiles) out and about but that's about it.
That would probably be the only way I could have a white Spyder. The red & blue patriotic wrap makes for a nice looking ryde.
It's not gone yet. Just sitting in my garage on a Battery Tender for now. Anybody out there wanting a nice very well cared for Indian? I'm asking $16K but am negotiable. My email is...
Sixteen grand sounds like a good offer to me too. Lots more money to add things like a trunk and floorboards etc.
The only way would be a lighter smaller Spyder with maybe less features or less expensive bodywork. Possibly a new smaller twin cylinder motor (think vertical twin maybe 2/3 of the current triple)...
Here in Ohio we still have to get or already have a motorcycle endorsement on our operators license. There isn't a helmet law but newbies (first year riders) and kids under 18 have to wear them. ...
I'm not a Spyder owner yet but my wife has pretty much given up on riding behind me on my 2015 Indian Chieftain. Since her total knee replacement surgery she cant completely bend that knee enough to...
I think Lamonster put mini apes on an F3-S a while back. That is another possible solution for ergonomic comfort. Sorry I forgot to read your previous reply there, but yeah they would probably help.
Greetings from Ohio and welcome even though I am not yet a Spyder owner. I am in a similar situation with a bad back and two bad knees. I also had to have retina surgery on my right eye and that...
I take it from what I am reading that the drive belt is over-tightened from the factory and that reducing the tension and running an idler pulley is going to reduce or even eliminate this problem. ...
Dynojet has a new thing called a PVCX that can be custom tuned and From what I have seen over at the Indian Motorcycle forum there is a lot more power lurking in the stock engine. Recently Fuel...
I'm not a Spyder owner yet but most motorcycles have a drive cushion in the rear hub of the back wheel which takes up some of the shock of shifting/downshifting, accelerating etc. I would think BRP...
