    Default Sorry to go!

    The first day I saw a Spyder go past me in 2008, I instantly knew I had to go home and google what it was that caught my eye. I few weeks later, I was a very happy owner. Now, 10 years later I was looking online at Victory's for my brother and saw a crazy 3 wheeled vehicle. It was a Vanderhall. After taking a test ride with my wife, we decided to buy it and trade in the Spyder. It's been a great 10 years but like all good things, it's time for new experiences. So I'm here to say goodbye to this awesome Spyder community. Have fun, ride safe and keep up the good work on this forum.

    Enjoy your new ride. It's a whale of a lot better looking than a Slingshot, and the turbo engine should really smoke that rear sneaker.

    Awesome ride! Looks sooo much better than a Slingshot (in all aspects, not just cosmetically) and the price is really reasonable. I might have to look into these as well in the future.

    Yours is a beauty!


    Get some miles on it and come back and tell us about the front wheel drive as it compares to the Spyder.
    You won't be smoking the rear tire for sure.

    Good looking vehicle. Have fun I've thought about buying a Slingshot but I can't get the Wife on-board.

    Ill leave it to Bob or someone else to post up the video if so inclined but like the Eagles “Hotel California” song goes “You can check out anytime you like but you can never leave”

    Congrats on the new wheels and like others have said stop on in and share some of your adventures.

    Love the looks of it. No dealers in Arizona yet or else I would be out looking for a new toy. I suppose Ride Now will tie up all the

    Franchises and ruin it all for us.
