    Default Boomers on Trikes.

    ABC News tonight had a segment entitled "Boomers on Trikes". They showed home made VW Trikes, Harley Trikes, Goldwing Trikes, BUT NARY A WORD ABOUT SPYDERS! Maybe we should BOYCOTT ABC!

    I saw that too, Brothers of Third Wheel, a trike riding club. Do they not like reverse trikes?

    Very disappointing. I watched and kept waiting for a Spyder. We should complain to Diane Sawyer!

    There's at least one member of this Forum that is a member of B T W That has a Spyder.
    They like all Trikes, Even backward ones.

    I'll second that.....I'm a wallflower member of BTW and ride a 2012 RT Limited. There's actually a picture of a Spyder on the cover of the latest BTW magazine.

    Not only were there no Spyders but they all looked like home made trikes. And most of the riders that they showed were probably born at least a few years before the official Baby Boom began.

    I'm only glued to it for Sports. (NASCAR or the NFL.)
    The Missus will watch NCIS, Bones or Castle; that's about it.

    Default Brothers of the Third Wheel

    Hello Spyder Lovers,
    I ride a Yellow/Black 08' Spyder GS Roadster, and I'm a member of Brothers of the Third Wheel (BTW). Our local chapter is called the Coastal Cruisers,and we meet weekly to socialize, and always have several club rides planned.We seem to be growing and getting new members all the time. We have 1 or 2 other Spyders in the club,lots of Goldwing trikes, Harley trikes,and hand crafted VW trikes. But we also have 2 wheel ryders , So it's not strickley 3 wheelers, its more of a brotherhood of people who love to Ride.
    RIDE SAFE & OFTEN

    I don't watch ABC news either. It does not surprise me though that they cant get information right, or they leave out information. Its the way of the world these days.

    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.
