Brother Chico, I'm sure you guys have a great event, and I look forward to attending some time! It is a great thing to have so many events to choose from, and it was just bad luck this year. I...

I'm with DGoebel in being disappointed this is the same weekend as Spyder Rendezvous. I thought maybe I had a new event to check out. :(

Good on ya! Pulled mine out on Saturday and rode about 50 miles! Life was much better after that!

I have absolutely no mechanical talent, and a toolbox to match! But I was able to install my Ultimate seat at home, all by myself, in under an hour. Everything else I've had done by the pros.

Lots of Wisconsin Spyders! Find the Spyder Owners And Riders (S.O.A.R) club at http://www.joinsoar.com/

Also special rims on the RT-S Special Series, as well as different stitching on the seat.

There is definitely much more wind on my 2015 RT-S SE with the shorter windshield than there was with my 2012 RT A&C. And I have more bugs and all the other negatives mentioned.

That said, it...

I just installed a Tallboy on my 2015 RT-S Special Series. My wife and I did a 200-mile ride Saturday, and I absolutely loved it! The riding position was quite different, but it didn't take much to...

After paying $30,000 for my Spyder, $3,000 for gear, thousands of dollars in mods and farkles, and hundreds of dollars in hotel costs to go to an event, I find it hard to get my righteous indignation...

Deke and Sara made it home! This probably sounds like no big deal, but we made it home by ambulance and wrecker after last year's Spyderfest, so we're relieved to have made it home on 3 wheels this...

Can't wait! Be there in about 4 hours! Much love for all the Mogang that work so hard to make this the best Spyder event around!

My 2012 RT would get a crazy shimmy as you describe at the same speed. It wasn't all the time, but when it happened it was crazy scary.

I took it to Spyderfest last year, and it turned out it was...

Answered in a PM.

I probably should have turned on the key so the SpyderPops bump skid with the LEDs were lit up. Next time!

Just got my 2010 RT-622 trailer painted to match my 2015 RT-S Special Series. Even up close, just about a perfect match! I'm super excited, and can't wait to show it off at Spyderfest!

Deke

No, the latch didn't work particularly well before the accident, so I don't think it is related. And since the trailer feels like it is riding true, that seems to not make it an alignment issue.

Yes, the dealer transferred the hitch and wiring harness from my 2012 to my 2015. All the trailer lighting worked as expected on my test ride tonight.

Got my 2015 red/blk RTS SPCL on Nov 15! Just crossed the 1000 mile mark today, which isn't bad considering Iowa isn't exactly known for its winter riding season! I'm getting a lot of compliments on...

Had mine installed earlier this week! The 500 miles since then have been a blast! Now I reach for the gas instead of the brake when I see a curve!

So, last year on the way home from Spyderfest, I was in an accident on my 2012 RT pulling a 2010 RT-622 that I had purchased used earlier in the season. I was hit from the side on the right front...

It's only money, Ben! And if you use plastic, it isn't even that! 😜

I had to replace my 20S when the case fell apart, too. Fortunately, the distributor I bought it from swapped it out, no problem. I just put the new one on my helmet yesterday, and I'm keeping my...

I'm a Catholic Deacon, and so Deke seemed like a natural. It sounds tougher than Sean.

Not being the wrench-turning type, I had my local dealer install the Bump Skid with LEDs from SpyderPops, and BajaRon's Sway Bar, on my 2015 RT-S Special Series today.

She handles like a dream...

I also have a 2015 RT-S Special Series. I'm about 6'2", and stayed with the stock short windshield. There is definitely a bit more wind, but it isn't as bad as I might have thought. I haven't had...

I had a chance to sit on one, and actually take it for a spin. It was fun, but it definitely doesn't fit our riding style either.

I guess we'll just have to stick with our 2015 RT-S Special...

I never thought of Iowa as a leader in helmet-hydration technology, but we've got these things here called straws. I just slide it up under my full-face helmet and take a sip. I even have the chin...

I had the dealer look up the BRP estimated time for replacing a sway bar, and it was 1/2 hour. I saw it in the book myself.

I'm planning on getting the Bajaron sway bar for my 2015 RT-S Special...

Congratulations! We just chartered the SRA-Eastern Iowa Chapter! Maybe a joint ride is in order?! You can find us on a Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/groups/1539496013002674/?fref=ts
