New Spyder RT limited
After riding Harley’s for the better part of 50 years I purchased a new 2019 Spyder RT Limited yesterday. I had test ridden Harley trikes and did not like the way they rode. Test drive a Spyder and loved it
I am real pleased with the bike, although I still reach for the clutch lever occasionally.
I live in NE Florida so I ride year round. If you see someone on a white Spyder wearing Harley Jacket it might be me. There are quite a few of us and our circle is growing

Sounds like me too. Went from a Tri to A Spyder. Still wear some of my Harley stuff too on the Spyder

For me, it's Victory gear. Not only did I sell my Victory, the factory stopped making them. So I'm a real dinosaur parading around advertising Victory.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

I have a few Indian motorcycle shirts and sweaters I got when I bought my 2014 Indian Chieftain. Got 250 bucks in free gear with purchase. I still wear them when riding my Spyder.
-
I too wear my HD jacket, and my Spyder RTL is white all so, now for the kicker I am in NE Florida also.
-
I wear my Harley stuff all the time. I miss the sound and the lean but don't miss rough ride

We have had a variety of bikes/trikes over the years, and and of course had some of the branded gear that went with them. I confused quite a few people when I went out wearing a Triumph shirt, at Harley belt buckle and a Goldwing Millennial jacket while riding the Spyder RTL.

Congrats on your new ride! I also ride around in North East Florida (Jacksonville and Yulee).
I traded my Victory for a 2016 F3T and still love it after almost 4 years and 44,000 miles, but
I do miss my Victory.
Ride safe and enjoy, maybe we will pass each other on the highway sometime.

Today, it is 32 degrees. I saw three Harley Davidson (I think) motorcycles riding at 70 with two leather clad people on board. I hope they had some really really good heating gear. What is the wind chill factor of 32 degrees in a 70 mph wind??? Most likely they were having a good time.

The windchill is probably very low. But it depends on how much wind protection your bike gives you. A full dresser is going to be much warmer than a bike with no windshield.

It has been several years since I rode without a windshield. Yes, it was colder that way. My current three bikes all have windshields. The two Spyders have heated grips. Turned them on for the first time this year, last week. 60's today...so maybe not.

There is a site, cyclefish dot com, which has a chart to tell the numbers. 32 degrees at 70 mph is about 10 degrees. Super airid.

As soon as I figure out how to do that I will. Trying to get to know how to post pictures on the forum

With the right gear it is no problem. When I road Harley’s my personal cutoff was 20 degrees with no visable ice on the highway. I used electric jacket liner, electric gloves, silk long johns and good quality chaps.
Not as pleasant as riding in the spring but very doable
-
Wow, sounds like a little piece of paradise, happy miles on the Spyder. I'm thinking, you get up each day, look and river and wonder, get in the boat or on the Spyder. Both very good choices and great to have them.
