Just curious ,how old most riders are; I am 74 wife has cancer and doesn't get around the best ,so got the RT so she can ride with me occasionally,and gave up the 2 wheeler ,regretted it at first but glad I did now,gradually getting the bugs worked out of it .Maybe in 2 years will replace with a new one.
Must be someone who is older then me riding.

I see that others have already directed you to the survey. It appears there are a lot of us that are senior. The great thing about Spyder is that it has enabled many of us to continue riding when it has become difficult for some to horse around the big heavy weight two wheelers. I have been able to ride since 1965 and still enjoy it as much as I did way back then. The Spyder has definately enhanced the experience for me. It seems that my current bike is the "best" of the almost 20 bikes I have owned over the years.

I am 47 but I bought mine used from an 87 yr. old man who`s wife could no longer ride due to surgery. Hope I can still be riding at 87. He could still do anything he wanted, probably ride cross country. He still had plenty of hot rods to keep him buisy.

My birth certificate says I will be 75 in a couple weeks. Sometimes I feel older then the rocks in Cades Cove, but still had fun at SpyderLovers in Gatlingburg. My mental/physical age varies from 5 to a couple hundred.

Why? Growing up is over-rated!

2010 RT a/c full moon silver. Bought the silver because it matched our two cars. My wife said it was because it matched my hair.
