    Coming from a Goldwing, at least you're used to the tupperware

    P.S. I had a 2012 Goldwing myself once,

    I learned what "nanny" means, now I'd like to know what tupperware refers to and why would one need to get used to it......

    Tupperware is all of the plastic body work around the Spyder. The reason you have to get used to it is that you have to remove it to do most work on the Spyder and also, you have to continually clean it.

    The most interesting part of all the plastic body work is the anus clenching act of slapping your mirror just hard enough to remove it without breaking it and the equally anus clenching act of hitting your mirror just hard enough to snap it back on without breaking it. This gives a new meaning to the word "pucker".

    The first time that you want to remove the mirrors; please ask for some advice about the technique. There's a lot of "War Stories" floating around about this task...

    I just spent an amazing amount of time, money, work, sweat and prayer removing and replacing the water pump shaft on my 2010 RT. I had to remove quite a bit of plastic, the inner plastic frame, the upper frame rail, all the rubber hoses, the exhaust, and finally 17 bolts out of the clutch cover. Removing all this and successfully putting all this back together, finishing up with slapping the mirrors back on, qualifies me to comment on the mirror removal and installation. I may not be eponymous, but I am mechanical.

    Yes you are!
    And it is a FAR more useful trait; isn't it?
