    Most real riders do not care what you ride, but if you ride. The ones that get are the "hardcore the ride 2 k a year, usually but not always Harley and some Wing riders. I had one"hardcore"(Harley) a couple years ago tell me the Spyder was a sissy bike and no real biker would ever ride one. A guy walking with, I knew said, You had think about that. I know Bob, he probably rode more miles last month they you did last year. We rode on New Years Day, Then to top it off, he said check speedometer, His Two year old Spyder has three times the mileage, your 10 year old HOG has. Enjoy your ride and ignore the twits as most above say

    Weekend warrior Harley riders look down on anything that is faster, handles better or is more reliable than a Harley. So by definition the only bike they look up to is a 1970's Puch Maxi (though not the Luxe model as that's a bit quick:-))

    Enjoy your Spyder and remember they are obviously having to compensate for some other deficiency.

    Thumbs up

    Last week a group of us went out and escorted a group of roughly 70+ riders on their way to Rolling Thunder. We escorted them through town ending at the VFW for a BBQ for them. After I finished backing up my RT into a parking spot an HD rider with his wife ask me if it was difficult riding in reverse all the time because of the two wheels in front. I told them no it's way to fast to ride forward. We all laughed and went in and had a bite to eat. Just stay positive, enjoy the great ride on your Spyder. Every day there are more of us!!
