    Default Ohio to Key West

    Just returned from a bike trip, Bryan Ohio to Key West Florida back up through Panama City Florida where we met our wives. 3500+ miles riding my 2014 RTS. The Spyder ran flawlessly. Only problem I had it hydroplaned during a heavy rain, scared the s--t out of me. I'm 73 years old never to old for a good bike ride. Neil

    Now that is a nice ryde....did the west Palm to connecticut and really enjoyed it though before the spyder came to be. Done the west Palm to Key West which is awesome. Must of been a great ryde side from the rain..No picture at the southernmost point in the USA..?? at which point you are closer to Cuba than the mainland....

    Neil, I take it the 'cane damage was cleaned up enough in the Keys for Spyder Access?

    Key West was open doing business. Damage in some of the trailer parks. Some of the shops were doing drywall work but for the most part Key West was good.
    Further north, Marathon was in bad shape. Mountains of trash pilled twenty feet high or more along the Highway. Palm trees, appliances, boats just trash. Smelled bad.

    I was very happy with my spyder except for the hydroplaning. I need to research into a better back tire. I have a Michelin installed now. I rode with a Goldwing, Yamaha and of course a Harley. It seemed that the spyder was quicker than the others.
