Vito1943.....consider yourself lucky to be able to lay on your back to do it. I’m also a ‘43er and would never be able to get back up without some serious assistance.

Vito1943.....consider yourself lucky to be able to lay on your back to do it. I’m also a ‘43er and would never be able to get back up without some serious assistance.
I’m up here on the west coast of Canada, and now live right along the Canada/Washington State border (mountainous area) and have given up on Sirius. Our area is just not conducive to good reception....
I sure don't. The thought never crossed my mind!
I’ll chime in on that wish from the lower mainland of British Columbia, or to be more specific, from Chilliwack, BC. I do not put my ‘14 RT-S to bed for the winter. We do have winter (lots of rain,...
From one Bruce to another.....two Canadian Provinces have already surpassed the 2026 date. Both the Province of Quebec and the Province of Brtish Columbia have reached that goal. To purchase an EV...
Damn.....I always believed that it was the plastic clothes hangers I’ve been using!
You haven’t listed what your ride is, nor the year. Looking at the photo, I assume it’s an F3, but no idea on the year. My 2014 RTS has heated grips and they work fantastically. Great heat while...
I’m now wondering if since I was specifically asked by my Insurance Company and not my Insurance Broker, that perhaps this is something that BRP is strongly looking at for future Spyders (as in the...
Isn’t an RTS equivalent? I think that mine is!
The Insurance on my 2014 RTS-SE6 came due for renewal today, and for the first time ever, I was asked if it had autonomous braking. Heck, I don’t even know what autonomous braking is, so I asked. I...
I got 5 years out of the original OEM battery on my '14 RTS, and felt very fortunate. Prior to that I always replaced every year or two on my other bikes be they Honda’s, Yamaha’s or .......
I’m in the same league as Vito1943, also being 80, and yes, I too have been wondering if it was time yet. I’m just not ready to do that.... NOT YET. Miata? I’ve given that a lot of thought, but I...
I don’t think so, having never done it on ANY vehicles that I’ve ever owned.
Have you checked LaMonster garage...the site originator?
I have no idea myself, but I’m certainly going to watch this thread.....good luck!
When I’m on my Spyder, the cel phone is turned OFF. I do, however. Have the phone fastened to my quad lock in the event that I need it for navigation purposes. My music, if I want it, is from my...
I always carry my old 1/2 helmet in the frunk, for just that reason (I can still get home).
Glad to hear, and welcome to the mad world of SpyderLovers (and owners). It’s a little on the cool side here in the lower mainland of BC, howver the sub is shining and still has some heat in it. I’m...
Problem being that you’re looking at from your point of view. Try lookiing at things from the dealers point of view. You sell snowmobiles, spyders, seadoos, quads, and you sell 6 different brands as...
Do you not have CHEVRON?
As the others have said, by all means....rest one hand at a time (please don’t rest both hands at the same time). I also have arthritis in my hands as well as my legs and am a decade older than you...
I do the same as many of you do. Usually I Get off the bike and set my lid on the seat, and go shopping, eating, have a cuppa. USUALLY! If I’m in a high crime area I’ll either lock it in the frunk...
Another way of looking at it is to lower your sights. .... I bought a used (estate sale) 2014 RTS. No, it’s not a Ltd and it isn’t the “New” style RT, BUT it is the 1330, it is an RT, it does like...
Sorry to hear that NorwegianRT. I’m lucky, living on the west coast of Canada on the lower mainland. I keep my RT licensed all year, but usually wind up using it about 10 months of the year.
...
Gotta agree with that sentiment, Mikey. I started riding three wheels 8 years ago. I’m 80 now, and I have no idea how much time I have left, but I’m going to continue as long a I can, and...
I used to have to replace the battery on my GW every year, even though I pulled the battery and stored it on a wooden shelf in my basement (hoping that just maybe I’d get a second year out of it). ...
Mine is just a wee bit different, instead of PC I’m using my SC (instead of pressure cooker I’m using slow cooker) and I’m using pineapple juice. Damn, the house is already smelling fantastic and...
There is only one person on this forum that can accurately answer that......and that’s YOU.
We are all built differently. What’s good for me may be crap for you. jmho
I’ve used a pressure cooker for years. My mother used them when I was a toddler. Back then, they sometimes were overheated and deposited the meal on the ceiling (I never saw that), but todays...
I’ve been riding M/C since I was 16 and I’m 80 now. During that time, I’ve never had a wheel balance problem, and only once have I actually suffered rolling flat tire. Also during that time I have...
