I was thinking....
I know, a very dangerous undertaking...
But if you had to give just one thing, just one single aspect about your Spyder that you appreciate, enjoy, or like the most, what would it be?
I don't think a poll would work here because there are probably too many options.
I predict your answers will be like Lay's Potato Chips. You won't be able to give just one thing. But you are welcome to prove me wrong on this.
I'll save my answer until some others have a chance to give theirs.

I've met lots of new people since I've bought it, both here on-line, but also my neighbors and strangers, so the meeting people aspect of it. Everything else I knew when I got it, so there were no surprises there. When I bought it I knew people would probably notice it, but I didn't think that I would meet lots of people.
Everything never changes!

I'm guessing the smile on my daughter's face the first time she gets to sit on the Spyder. (which will be in about 48 hrs when she comes to visit).

In regards to the SPyder itself, I like the fact that it looks like it's going fast while standing still...and that big fat back tire
the aspect i appreciate the most that's not physically the Spyder is this board/group. It's the best place to make friends, do research, get questions answered, and get results when you need them.

The WOW I get every time I drive it.

The fact that i can ride all winter and not worry about sand/salt/gravel/
and dead Raccoons on the road.

How massively it has expanded my horizons...especially with folks, no matter their riding/driving passions, when we meet somewhere...

I would say I like it because it's like nothing else I've ever owned and it still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it.

My favorite thing is THE RYDE, not the machine so much but the experience
-
I agree with Vaughn & Cat it’s the stability for me plus like Yazz said it put my knees back in the breeze. I could never convince my wife that a bike was a good thing, but when I took her to Cowtown and sat her on the RT she agreed to try it with me. We are completely comfortable on the Spyder and never worry about anything but the ride and the scenery.

How about FWRY: Fellowship, the Wow factor, the Ryde, and the Y-Factor.
I tried to spell freeway but ran out of words. Anybody wanna try?

Ron, first of all, Stop Thinking...LOL
Maybe that is one of the best things about the Spyder, clearing your mind when you ride. Being able to just enjoy where you are going and not really thinking about all the troubles of the world.
With Christ all things are possible, so live life with no fears and no worries.

I must say, only a few had to go back for more chips, though many admit it's a big bag with the Spyder. And the answers are nothing like I expected.
I'm a nuts and bolts guy so I was thinking along mechanical lines. Handling, acceleration, or physical apperance.
While some have mentioned these, the feeling I get is more experiencial.
I'm not sure if we're talking about a machine or a mental state. Maybe it's the same thing.
Maybe a blend of the 3 F's is the concenses so far.
Freedom, Fun and Friendship, not necessarily in that order.
This group never ceases to amaze me.

I love the attention it brings, I have been ridin on a permit and finally got around to taking my road exam yesterday(which I passed)....Every state patrol at that post was all around the Spyder checking it out..They were amazed that the DDS was testing me saying it looked soo much safer than trikes/bikes...

For me it's all about the ride. But not in the traditional sense. I know most people think of the Spyder as a safer, stable touring machine. But there is a performance aspect to this thing that has me pretty intrigued.
For me, learning about the chassis, the suspension, the power band, learning what the bike wants to corner better, power out faster, attack harder is fascinating! I am learning new and better techniques almost every day and the rush is amazing! I have to admit though, this nanny thing is starting to irritate me! The sway bar is going on this week-end, and we'll see what that does for me. I suspect we'll be able to kick it up a notch!
SO after all that, it's the ride man! OK, and some adrenilin...

I like that it mitigates a lot of the risk that a two-wheeler has. I ride without worrying about rain, gravel, or falling off.
