    Default 2009 RS. Not ridden for year. Rode like new.

    I had a bad car accident last year and haven’t taken my Spyder out in about 16 months. I have had it on a trickle charger and finally took it for service today. Figured fluids, plugs, etc. Like a 2 year service.

    The bike started right up. Rode perfectly to the shop. Gears smooth. No vibration. No smoke.

    Got a call that it was already serviced with zero problems found. Except some recall that requires an ordered part.

    I have always loved this bike but am impressed that it can sit and sit and still be in perfect working order.

    Also, hello to all. I know it has been a long time.

    Great to hear you're doing better. And even better to hear your news about your RS. That's pretty impressive!

    Welcome back. We have at least a six month lay up when the snow and ice come. I put both on battery tenders and they start the first try.

    Good to know that if a longer lay up is necessary, that it will mostly likely not be an issue.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
