Sad day today, went to a friend's funeral this afternoon. So I decided to go for a short ride. Snapped this pic at the top is Sassafras Mtn and it reinforced that life is good.

Any of those roads are liable to have more traffic on the weekends, especially the Dragon. But if you choose to ride them on a weekday you are almost guaranteed to have clean roads.

Same here. No water on my back.

The driver backrest makes a huge difference in comfort level for long rides. I have the Lamonster one, great thing about it is that when riding two up it takes a grand total of one second to remove...

Ludicrous speed

How many Spyders and/or other bikes? It could have been my neighbor and his group of buddies. He has a dark red or burgundy RT. Not sure what the other guys have but there's two more Spyders and a...

Thank you for the suggestion, never would have thought of that myself. They're all automatics BTW.
Slingshots are 5 speed manuals.
And the Trex uses a BMW sequential 6 speed manual, while the V13R...

I don't know about the others, but have you ever tried getting out of a Slingshot? I'm an able bodied shy of 50 somewhat decent shaped guy and I have to basically roll out of the damned thing. I do...

I rode the skyway today Mr. H. as I was saving the best for last. Wow. What a road!

Well, I have to do another report on this evening's ride. Although the temps were a little bit warmer today it is hard to improve on perfection. I did the same loop today but in the opposite...

Ugh! Hotel banquet rooms suck, even at Harrah's. The casino however is another story.

How often do you have an absolutely perfect ride? You know, one of those rides where everything is just right. I am in Cherokee, NC for a conference, I rode the Spyder up yesterday, good ride, a...

If you are patient and look around there are deals to be had. In Sept I purchased a new 2015 F3-S from a dealer in Maine for $13200 out the door. I have a buddy that is a shipping agent and got a bid...

The error message will appear if the gearbox has not fully engaged with the gear. Mine did that to me a few times when it was new trying to shift into reverse. Just tap the shifter again and let the...

According to folks in the industry, helmets need to be replaced at least every 5 years. The padding wears out and is not as effective after that. The advice I was given when making my last helmet...

I intend on spending a couple weeks next year touring the Alps on my F3-S, then hopefully either New Zealand or Norway the next. Convince me that New Zealand is where I need to go!

BRP may be on to something with their sub $10k Spyder and I think their success or failure is going to depend on how well they are able to market the product. I live in a college town and it would...

Let me know when you plan on coming, there's plenty more roads up there that are just as fun to ride. I may even be able to get free from work for a day or two to show you around if you wish.

I...

I just came home with a new Spyder a few months ago!

I rather enjoy a bit of intamacy from time to time, and for that to occur I need to make sure she's happy. Nevermind the fact that I have two young children and there were two different birthday...

So, I ask the wife this evening at dinner if there is anything she would like for me to do tomorrow. Her reply was I can do whatever I want. Really? Well, you know what that means! Good opportunity...

I am one of the few around here that is still in the prime of my profession. I graduated from veterinary school 21 years ago and am looking forward to another 20 years or so in practice. I always...

48 years old here, bought the same bike a few months ago and took a road trip with my dad cross country in Oct. from SC to Washington state. You might say that it was a bucket list trip for us.

I have actually just gotten back from a 4000 mile trip to South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Two places that you should not miss are the loop through Badlands National Park...

Just bought a 2015 demo F3-S SM6 with 300 miles from a dealer in northern Maine. $13,200 OTD. $300 to ship and I pay state sales tax. I have no idea what the MSRP was, but guessing close to 40% off.

My apologies, I was going off of memory. The place that rents the Spyders is in Zurich Switzerland.

One of the things that I liked about both of those outfits was that there are several options as far a whether you have a guide and a chase van to carry luggage or self guided. Eideweiss has one...

I was curious if anyone has personal experience with using one of the European motorcycle tour companies. Google searches bring up two more prominent companies:
