    Default Saying good bye to my Spyder

    Well after a lot of thought and checking around for a new toy I found one today that
    really caught my eye and after some haggling with the dealer about the numbers
    we reached a deal we were both happy with and I pulled the trigger on a 2022 Yamaha
    Wolverine side by side 1000 CC engine and lots of extra goodies. I will try to post some
    pictures after they deliver it on Friday afternoon.
    I have really enjoyed this forum for all these years and will still check in from time to time.

    Yes it is off road only, but we have a lot of trails behind our property to ride and we plan on
    going to some of the national forest to ride. A lot of our friends and neighbors have 4 wheelers and
    side by sides so we can join them and ride in groups. It's something different for us and I think
    we will have a lot of fun and enjoyment with it.

    I've rototilled the real estate for many years in the past on a number of different dirt machines, 2,3, and 4 wheels. Most of us have moved on to quieter and cleaner wind in the face conditions. Nothing really new, but we've found that our bodies won't take the pounding and bouncing like they used to. Good luck with you're switching over, and most of all, have fun and stay safe. I really enjoyed my time in the dust and the mud.

    Sorry to see you parting with the Spyder.

    You will like the side by side. We also bought a Mule side by side a year ago. We have enjoyed it a lot. We have about 100 miles of interconnecting dirt roads less than a mile from here. We ride the Mule at least a couple times a week.

    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.

    I think you'll be back on a Spyder sooner than you think.

    IMHO, SxS are even less "practical", in that you really can't take it on the road, and the majority of the time, that's where people are most likely to congregate.

    I've actually thought about getting a Can-Am Maverick 2-seater, but decided against it, because for me, it would be more of a "toy". At least with my RTL, I can use it to go to work, run errands, hang out with bike/tryke buddies, go eat at restaurants, go to bike rallies, etc.

    Anyway, good luck and have fun !!
