So I was pretty busy this weekend with the kid, but I did notice a lot of motorcycles out and about. So late this afternoon I uncovered the Spyder and started her up. She started no problem. Ran real good for about thirty seconds and stalled. Was a little hard to start, but did get it going again. It ran well. Sputtered a bit, this time I gave it a little throttle, and that was that, she is running beautifully. I put stabilizer in the gas, and I don't use a battery tender. I haven't seem the need to. I do only a little bit more for my other toys and never have any issues.
To lazy to fire up the compressor to get the tire pressure right. So I went on the internet and renewed my insurance online with month by month payments. The insurance on a Spyder went up 100 percent in my Province. And that's after I get a 20 percent discount. Wth. Thanks SGI !!! They wanted to raise motorcycle rates over 300 percent on some crotch rockets last spring. Huge public back lash last year forced them to review what they were proposing and they struck up a study. I guess they decided winter when everyone's bike is parked would be a good time to raise rates and not tell anyone.
On a Spyder can you believe it. I haven't seen anyone under the age of 24 riding one around here. I haven't seen one going down a residential street on one wheel at 150 km/h. I haven't see one riding down the road with the rider standing on the seat or riding the handle bars. I can't say I have seen one ever doing 320 km/h on the highway. They are governed at 180 km/h. Don't ask me how I know it only partially relevant... Lol. I have never seen a Spyder low side or high side drop. There are only two dealers in the whole Province that sell an average of fifty Spyders a year each. I estimate there are likely less than 600 Spyders registered in the Province. I have never known a Spyder to have been in a collision in this Province. I have a clean driver abstract. My last ticket was fifteen years ago, and I hold a clean commercial vehicle and motorcycle driver abstract at 45 years old. The insurance company probably doesn't even know what a Spyder is or how many wheels it has.
Oh btw. The monthly rate on a Spyder is $140 a month For me. Without a full discount it is over $2000 a year.
That's my rant. Thanks for listening. Good part is today is the start of many more rides.
