Just got to Oahu

[Convic80]

I just got here from texas and I realized that there are no dealers here in Hawaii. But I have seen 3 spyder parked up at Scholfield Barracks in front of the pool so I'm not the only one on the island with a spyder.

I sold my red '08 SE5 to an individual in Ewa Beach before I PCS'd in 2014. At that time I didn't see any Spyders at Schofield except for mine. Saw a few here and there but could never really connect with anyone to ryde with. Sounds like Spyders are invading the islands!

Loved riding around the island but getting stuck on H1 during rush hour(s) sucked!!! Sometimes I'd have to go to TAMC for training/meetings and usually wouldn't get out until rush hour was in full swing. Heat was so intense in that slow moving parking lot known as H1 But on the good side I mainly was at Schofield and riding back and forth from Ewa Beach was relaxing and beautiful.

The motorcycle dealership near the airport always did right by me and was able to fix any problems/concerns I had. They're not a Spyder dealership but they did whatever necessary to keep me ride the smooth and safe.

Best of luck to you and enjoy your time there!!!

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure where I could take my spyder if I had any issues. Yea I cant wait till it gets here. Its still in the process of being shipped here with my household goods. Luckley I wont be riding that far because I will be in Shafter and living in AMR. Its like a 5 minute drive from work to my house Minus traffic. I don't know why there are not more spyders here. Its really an untapped market because there are tons of bikes here.

Not Bob here. HiSpyder is his name and he lives on Kauai.

As a native Hawaiian I can tell you that Oahu, Ain,t paradise. Some of the other islands yes.

The Honolulu area may as well be LA or NY. The north shore area used to be good but I have not been there in 20 years so don't know anymore.

I was told Power sports on Nimitz can do work. Not sure if they support free warranty work... This is Cadre,
Ride 2012 RT.... Am new rider, if 3 days even counts as new, more like baby steps... Look me up if anyone wants to ride..I found another place that will work on my RT.. I need to provide shop manual, to insure all is done within specs...
I enjoy to tinker with cars and motorcycles. To add am retired, I will take a crack at maintenance before having someone else work on my SPYDER... Look me up... Al

& Glad you found someone A paper copy of that manual will cost you BIG bucks ….. a computer download is around $30.00 ( on-line ) …. you should read the " do's and Do not's " on the home page …. lots of good info …… Mike

for those living in Hawaii, specifically Oahu, I called the number for Brian, I spoke with His GF or Wife...
They run the Spyder rental place in Waikiki.... Brian takes appointments only, He works out of his garage..There is no store front and such... He does all work to include alignment.. He travels to the other islands as well...Like me and others in Hawaii, we do have a Spyder Guru to repair our bikes and conduct service.... As for me, I am ready to ride and meet the few who also ride here on Hawaii....

[CADRE]

Thanks Mike for the info, already pulled trigger for binder of knowledge... $62.00 shipping included... Guess I was lucky...
I polished my Spyder, ready to take Her out for a Sunday ride... I enjoy riding it...

Be careful who you let put tools to your Spyder (or anything) in Hawaii. Anyone who can spell repair thinks they can. Research them first.

Unless you have balance issues, or just plain love the handling of a Spyder, a 200cc scooter is all you could ever actually use on Oahu.
It's not like you're ever going to go for an IronButt ride; you'd get dizzy.

I was based at a small Navy Radio station above Whitmore Village, near Schofield Barracks and had a car. Was a communicator and we worked like a firemen and had a lot of time off. I explored Oahu on those days off. Got Rock Fever in about two weeks. I was there in the 1950s before it was a state and before freeways and traffic - it was easy to get around. Those were good days there; you could still see the Pink Hotel from Kalakaua Street; the Pearl City Tavern and its famous Monkey Bar was a great place to go to; Gabby was live and singing; the Kau Kau Korner was da meet-up drive-in; Hotel Street still had its tawdry looks like it did in the WWII Mamie Stover days, the old timers told me. Now it's been gentrified. Good memories. Yes, I've been back several times and yes, it's very different. That's why my favorite island is Molokai - not one traffic light there.

Johnsimion, spoke with Klee at the Waikiki rental. Brian is the BF or husband... He does all the work.... Out of his garage.
Including alignment..... Probably a good lawsuit two bikes they have have not met maintenance schedule....
Brian and/or rental office are same #808 429-7423..... I called yesterday... Was going to stop this week, unfortunately I have unexpected eye surgery on Tuesday....
