    home my new F3-T in red today!

    Great looking ride. Question, how long did you hang on to the two wheeler & why? I still have mine also & have found it great to rent to buds so we can enjoy lunch runs out of town Keeps bike in good use & has worked out good. Helps keep us sane with good doses of wind therapy

    I only had the Victory for about 15 months, but I have had many 2 wheelers in my years of riding.
    But my knees are starting to give me trouble and I don't feel comfortable on 2 wheels anymore so it's
    time for me to give it up and stay on 3 wheels! I have no regrets.

    Cool Cross Country rider to Spyder ryder...Howdy!

    Said goodbye to my 2011 Cross Country when medical issues drove me from two wheels to three...funny thing, my plan was to ryde the Spyder while I got my strength back, and then head back to the two-wheel scene. That plan has now changed...I now plan to stay with the !!!

    Welcome & Congrats on the new ryde!

    Default Congratulations!

    Wow, Beautiful new Spyder! I know the feeling-gave up our last 2 wheels in July 2015. I nearly cried watching it being wheeled away, but traffic was just getting too crazy around here at times. Happily, we LOVE going for a ride on our RT-S and can't wait for weather in Ohio to clear up so we can get started riding.

    Enjoy!!

    When you post a pic of that F-3, it makes it really difficult to feel sorry for you! Many happy miles!!!!

    Default Mixed emotions

    You know that definition of mixed emotions, watching your mother-in-law driver over the cliff in your new Cadillac? Well, that's what I felt one day 2 1/2 years ago when I was looking at both my 2005 Goldwing (ready to be sold) and 2013 Spyder (newly purchased) in the garage. That is, I felt that mixed emotion for about 10 seconds, and then the apprehensive feeling of the 'wing tipping over hit, and relief set in.

    I guess I'm one of the few who has not missed one bit riding on two wheels. In fact, the thought of doing it again on a big bike gives me the weeby jeebies.
