Do you still have a regular motorcycle along with your Spyder ??

[Peacekeeper6]

I've been riding our Spyder for the last 3 months, not even getting any seat time on my Harley. So today, for the first time this year, I decided to hop on my motorcycle and see if I still enjoy riding it.

Tell ya one thing: Riding a motorcycle sure takes a lot more concentration, which makes it a challenge........and fun. Banging through the gears, braking correctly, rev-matching, all those things that makes motorcycling fun and challenging woke me up and I felt a renewed excitement being on a bike again.

I am just glad that I am still healthy and strong enough to ride a 2-wheeler. If and when that day comes that I can't, I'll be sad to let my beloved Harley go....

My "other" bike is a 2015 Vulcan 900 LTD. Yes, it is exciting in a different way. I still can't give it up.

BTW, I was formerly a traveling X-ray/CT tech and did a 12-month assignment in Anchorage, AK. Didn't you used to live there ??

My other bike is a 1999 Honda Valkyrie with over 100,000 miles. We got the Spyder because my wife wasn't comfortable on two wheels anymore. I told her I really didn't want to sell the Valkyrie in order to get the Spyder. She said I didn't have to and we could keep both. I said, "Bless you dear."

My other ride is a 2002 Honda VTX 1800. I have been without 2 wheels since 2013 when I bought my first Spyder. I bought the VTX last year after missing the 2 wheels lean.

My other ride is a Kawasaki 1600 Nomad.

I got another Honda VTX 1300R with 4200 miles on the clock and went from one end to the other
servicing it and replacing old parts and getting it safe to ride and take it out from time to time just
to enjoy two wheels again, but my main ride is still the Spyder.
But the VTX is still a lot of fun!

Moto Guzzi V7 II. Spyder is our two up touring rig and the Guzzi is my solo touring mount and also serves as my every day bike.

I have a V Rod for when I get the urge to make the horizon tilt.

I still have a poor , old, slow Yamaha V-Max. All very nice till you open the V-boost.

Also used to have a Valkyrie. A wonderful motorcycle. Could do it all and still show it's taillight to many, many bikes.

bought the RTL as a luxury tourer. have a Honda NT700V for my work commuter, since its a 98 mile round trip per day. need a cheap 2 wheeler for that, not an expensive Spyder. AND this is my 2nd NT. first one put on 201,111 in just 6 yrs 10 months. now on 2nd NT with 36,000 miles

My last two wheeler was a Honda VTX-R, but arthritis urged me towards the Spyder. I actually gave my VTX to my son about 3 years prior to my trying, and only a day later, getting my Spyder.....I just missed the “wind therapy” too much.

Have a 2018 Goldwing, a 2015 KTM SuperAdventure, a custom Harley Roadrod, and we have 2 Spyders: a 2017 F3T which we are in the process of selling, and a 2020 RT. It’s a STD, with a top box. While I love to ride the Spyder, Ann has first dibs. Since she can’t ride 2 wheels, and I love to, I’ll keep riding them.

I got the RTL for two-up cruising, with knees problem I couldn't hold the VStar1300 with my wife on very well. Bought a 2013 RTL with 45 miles on it, sold the Vstar1300 3 days later. Keep the 2013 Honda CB1100 for solo riding for now. Been riding for 45 years, can't give up yet, I think it's more fun on a two-wheel.
Cheers.

Sold my '07 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe last week. Hadnt been ridden since end of '17

Wife '08 Yamaha 650 Silverado Classic should be gone next weekend. Not ridden since summer of '19, well 2 days ago I washed it an rode it down the road an back. So its ready to be picked up Saturday.

Not sure what Im going do with my '83 V65 Honda Magna. Maybe keep it or sell it. Sits there wanting to be rode but I like my Spyder.

[Spyder Insyder]

Our 2018 RTL replaced our GL1800 Goldwing for two-up touring, but I still ride my H-D Road King solo almost every day.

[gg194]

Only have the Spyder and don't think I can switch back and forth. Had the Spyder about two months now and haven't got used to the difference yet, not riding often enough. At least I have quit putting my foot down, still reach for the front brake at times. Fifty year old habits are hard to break.

Down to one 2 wheeler besides the Spyder. A 2009 BMW R1200RT. I find riding 2 wheels is still more fun than 3, but I keep the RT for my wife so that she will ride on the back. Some day I may not be able to keep going on 2 wheels, so hopefully 3 will be enough.

I just sold my Victory Cross Country. I am left with 2 Spyders, a manual RTS and a semi-auto F3L. I feel that I get a lot of the 2 wheel experience when I am riding my manual transmission Spyder. For this reason, I am hesitant on trading it even though I really am interested in the new 2020 RT’s.

I still have my 1996 Yamaha Virago 750 with 29k on the clock. Determined to hit 30k this year!
Since becoming an MSF coach last year, I ride it about once a month solo to help keep my skills fresh.
Also, Janis has yet to get the nerve to take the Spyder for a solo ryde, but if we're are doing a local ride and I don't feel like being on pillion, she pilots the STS and follows me...last week we did a 60 mile loop. I'm waiting for the day I walk out to the garage and Blackbird is AWOL

My 'Signature' explains it all. Still enjoy each one in a different way.

These are my two I have now that are not under rebuild / restoration. Not taking anything away from riding a road bike, but trials is a crazy amount of focus, even when you are not good at it like me...

Sold the 2003 KTM, and the 1971 Rickman Yamaha and 1981 KTM 495mc are not finished yet.

[pegasus1300]

I still have a 1987 anniversary edition Yamaha Venture Royale and a 1971 Montesa Texas Scrambler. Neither are ridable. The Venture will run and the Montesa is awaiting the finishing of the shop for it's restoration. It sold this bike new back inthe day when I had my own shop. Two wheels is not really an option for me any more,so the Venture just sits,I have no idea what I'll do with it.
