Hey I was wondering if any of you Spyder owners still have a two wheel motorcycle. I am missing riding two wheels and I am seriously considering buying some sort of used two wheel bike.

Hers: Yamaha FZ6R thumb_1410994556DAVE4688.jpg
between the two of us we've had as many as 7 bikes in the garage.
In all honesty we ride more than we Ryde, the Spyder is our pack mule and two up machine.

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...
I have a Yamaha Raider after sitting for the last year I registered it so my son could ride with me when he came up for vacation sense then I've taken it out a few times but my F3 is still my main ride.
I am looking at getting a two wheel bike just to satisfy that need for riding on two wheels again. The Spyder would be mostly relegated to two up riding on the weekends or after work with my wife. It will most likely wait until next spring as we are heading into fall and winter here in Michigan.
I still have my Thrux but with my injuries and their proximity to major arteries, the doc says I should sell it cuz I might not survive a fall/crash.... :-(
I have bad of habit of putting my feet down on a stop light or sign even I ride my spyder. My two wheel mc is really a culprit so you know what I mwean.
In the years prior to the Spyder (2008) I have experienced every rice burner bike, some brands up to five different flavors. No HD, and no German or Italian flavors. From 80cc to 2000cc and a lot in between. Been on two wheels since 1965 or so, almost 50 assorted.
When I went in 2008, I sold my Vulcan 2000. Missed two wheels so I re-upped for a Vulcan 900 LTD two years later. Fit me like a glove and I loved it. I then started having major hip issues and was afraid that I may have balance problems. I traded it off for a second for my friend Linda. We are now a two family, but I continue to drool over the latest offerings on two wheels. Currently, I like the big Indians. I don't foresee adding one to the stable because of ongoing hip issues.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
I have 2 motorcycles that I had before we bought the .
My wife couldn't enjoy curzing on my ZX-11 and we went shoping for another bike. The V-max caught her eye and I said with " just a few mods" we could cruze on and did. Then she said she wanted something smoother with better win protection, ect. I found the Honda Valkyrie in Carson City with low miles andsome custom paint. " With a few mods" we toured on it for years.
So I still have the V-max and the Valk and ride them both. The Valk is slightly modded and a great dance partner considering its size. The V-max is modded a bit also ---- just hang on.

I have 2, 2 wheeled motorcycles and a Spyder I just can not part with 2 wheels for good.

I chose the M109 because I wanted a muscle cruiser, and I have owned 2 of them before. They have remind me a lot of the new F3, and since I wanted a 2 wheeler, and something that I could ride solo on, this fit the bill.
Yup. 08 Victory Vision. Won't part with it for anything. Bought the Spyder because the boss told me that she wasn't comfortable on 2 anymore, so got it as my 2-up machine. Sold an 07 Victory Jackpot to make room in the garage.
Bottom line, if I'm solo, I'm on the Vision. If Momma is along, we're on the RTS.
