All this talk about age around here lately sure makes me grateful that I am not as old as most around here?

And they make fun of us Spyder riders.................

[bullant12]

most of my socks are older than you.

Thank goodness it is socks and not undies...

(I think I have undies half my age...)

[Jeriatric]

Two wheelers do........until you drop them on a slight downhill, and I'm talking 10' of elevation change over a few miles. They'll kill ya going up hill tho

[Chupaca]

The spyder is not age sensitive...if they were around when I was growing up I would have bought one at 10..!! the price and size may deter youth from buying. They are hard to run up the sidewalk and chain to a pole..!! Wife and I love it and ryde it much more than the youngens do...!!

I am 47 soon to be 48 and the wife is 44 and we purchased a RT in April. Our former ride, for 10 years, was a HONDA ACE 750 and most folks I meet were happy you were out riding and didn't care what you were on. So far my experience with the Spyder has been pleasant as well, yeah a few hard core riders may snub their nose but frankly I don't give a darn about that and wave anyways. It is my goal to make them break down and wave, if not oh well their loss not mine.

I believe it depends on what you want to do. We wanted to be able to pack the bike and go on day/weekend trips and the RT gives you that from the start, I believe you can add lots of things to the other models of the Spyder, however we were purchasing a bike equiv in our minds to a Goldwing.

I am a firm believer that one should ride whatever one wants to ride and enjoy riding. One caveat is if someone else is buying, I may be open to riding something else, until then get what you want that fits your needs and enjoy it life is too short.

[RubyRed]

I dont own one, but I want one. Been wanting one for years... Im now 32.

[Spyder601]

I am 31! Most people think the spyder is really cool. My wife picks on me about a spyder at my age more than anyone haha but hey isn't that what she's suppose to do! I love my spyder and would never consider getting something else.

[Bazeel]

I'm 28 and own an RT. Got it when I was 27, and haven't looked back since. I love it, and screw what anyone else thinks. They aren't riding it, after all.

Does anyone get hassled for their age and owning a Spyder? I don't care what anyone thinks/will think but I am curious

I have a confession. I got my RT-S in November at the age of 62 and I soon got hassled about owning a Spyder while being so young...and still do on occasion; however, the 'hassler' was (and is) me. I've had trouble letting go of my two-wheeler as a primary mode of recreational travel and accepting the safer, cooler, faster, more technologically advanced, Can Am Spyder.

Was it the right decision? You bet! ...Gnirtsnod

[5PYD3R]

Am I the youngest?!?! I am 25. Purchased my Spyder when I was 23!

[retread]

Get what you want, set it up your way, ryde it the way you want: be careful, they're habit forming.
As far as age, I was old (71) once, decided I didn't like it, so I stopped.

Good for you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Spyder is not bias to old, young, male, female, skin colors, ethnicity, religion, status, able , disable, poor, wealthy, two wheel rider any brands. We all have the same hope is to ride and ride and ride and have fun and safe. If I missed I'm sure somebody will fill in.

God Bless us all and God Bless America.

PS I only turn 26 this month so don't worry your age.when I'm standing on my head

Sorry, but I disagree on this part. Have you seen the price of doing maintenance/repairs?

[Ga Blue Knight]

My son is 28 bought his 09 RS when he was 25

[BBBANDIT]

I will be 59 in about a month. I just bought an RT-S and just got back from the owners event. I also ride a 2009 Aprilia RSV1000 (the Spyders polar opposite) and a Harley. I like all of the safety features of the Spyders. I say don't let anyone tell you what to ride and you will always enjoy the ride. People who have no idea what they are talking about always seem to want to give you their opinion.

[Brogers57]

Bought it when I was 24. Now 25

[Questions]

This isn't to make anyone feel old. However, I am curious which one of us is the youngest? I'm 31 but do not own a Spyder (yet). Everyone EXCEPT Spyder owners tell me I am too young to buy one. Though, my sister-in-law's boyfriend, an '08 GS owner, says I am too young for the RT and that I should get an RS/S.

Does anyone get hassled for their age and owning a Spyder? I don't care what anyone thinks/will think but I am curious

I'm 26...bought my Spyder when I was 23. I've had no issues though, only thing is I get more attention from older guys than women! Lol

[Firefly]

I know a 15 or 16 year old that's supposed to get one this summer.......young man from Missouri.........;-)

[Bob Denman]

So who among us would be willing to give up their Spyder, if any age and health issues that forced a look in this direction, were absent?

I'm not sure what you mean... I bought the Spyder because it was blue
