Beware of NY state route 220 between Oxford and McDonough
First nice warm day of the year. I decided to take State route 220 home and play in the corners. Came around a corner hard on the throttle, the sun shining through the trees and life is good..................or so I thought. The mixture of shade and sun across the road obscured the fact that there were 12 inch high waves running here and there. No big deal I slowed down and cruised for the rest of my ride on that road. When I got home I noticed what looked like oil around my rear shock. Not much, but enough to show a problem. When I push down on the back of the roadster it sprays a little of the fluid out of the shock. But this is not the worst of it. I called three separate spyder dealers and, not only did none of them have it in stock, I had to explain to each of them that my 2012 RS-S was in fact a Can Am Spyder. One of the shops even thought it was a Kawasaki. Are you kidding me???!!! I guess I will be ordering a shock and fixing this myself.
Just sayin'............
Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally
Just sayin'............

Bummer..!!
Hibernation must have dried out the seals or they were going anyway. Glad you made it safely along 220. Check online for shocks ebay, anazon etc. They have good deals. Be safe..
