Spyderlovers Banner don't get me wrong the :spyder:has a big place in my Heart now but there is nothing wrong with my big potato and there nothing better than getting to make a floor board bracket make a few sparks on a nice twiste :ani29:

You better go to bed now or we will never be on road 8.00am
Kickstands up 0800 or should I say parking brake off and yes I can go for a potato bomb but have a feeling diner will have us full for ride home :ani29:

So you do think it is safer:dontknow:

I do think it's easier to ride, and she would probably equate that with safer. I was speaking strictly for myself in that first paragraph. For me, the real dangers of riding have more to do with the people around me, and the Spyder in no way solves that problem.

Anti-lock brakes, TCS, VSS, and higher visibility- I disagree, sir. The Spyder is safer than anything on two wheels regardless of where the danger arises.

A Lamonster , Just love the way you tell a story :clap:

...and that is your right. :thumbup:

If you really believe that, you're on the right ride.

Ok ultra classic super glide aficionados don't get defensive; i like any friggin' bike and everyone should ride whatever they enjoy! I'm just saying that the spyder should not be disrespected as a bike just because it's on 3 wheels. Lots of 2 wheelers are less exciting to me including most cruisers and touring bikes. I've had HD riders smile at the spyder and my point is simply that i've driven HD bikes that are less exciting (to me) than the spyder. So screw them!

:yes::agree:and I will be in Laughlin, NV for the bike week river run on April 23 on my spyder. A lot of us are riding to Las Vegas from CA, to stay there and then ride over to Laughlin to be at the bike week stuff and I don't care if there are some bikers there that don't like my spyder. Most of the people that don't like it are the ones who are hating because the spyders get more attention. I ride with a groupe of Harleys sometimes when I get a chance and they love the bike and always invite me to ride with them. This bike has changed my life and I am so happy now. THANKS BRP.:clap::2thumbs::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes::yes:

I'll be in bed in 45 minutes - just have to finish some jobs on MW. See you tomorrow! You're right - I'm sure the diner will fill us up enough.

Ok... how about, "Leaning on the Spyder is VERY DIFFERENT than leaning on a 2-wheeled motorcycle."

:cheers:

:agree:

Some great comments in this thread... :thumbup:

Of the HD riders, I know - not all, but most; snub their noses at the Spyder.

I bought my Spyder a year ago having never owned anything with less then 4 wheels. I have a little over 24000 miles on it so I guess I like it a bit.

One of the reasons I never bought a two wheeler was because I never wanted to be a 'Biker" whatever that is. Wearing dead animal skins, skulls crossbones and a preoccupation with death just does not do it for me. Then there is that flatulent noise coming out of most of them. What is that about? And with rare exception, most two wheelers talk a lot and don't ride very much. But if all of that works for you then I respect your individuality.

So I am content with being a candy A*& three wheel rider. And I am quite understanding that real bikers need the herd mentality thing to get them through the day. It is what making America great. Being different makes the government nervous.

I bought the Spyder because it is a different mode of transportation and it has some well thought out ideas. It is amazingly sound for a first run of a new idea.

And I apologize if I offended anyone here. Especially those "biker" guys who post such valuable information on here. I wave to every two wheeler I see on the road and some I see on the side of the road. Whether they wave back or not matters little to me. The few bikers I have chatted with along the way seem like nice enough people. Why wouldn't they be? They are out enjoying the ride just like me. The few times I have stopped at the Harley shop I have gotten nothing but friendly interest and helpful service.

So while I do not want to be a 'biker" I do want to enjoy and share the open road with any like minded individuals.

I've erased my reply to your message three times already, because I'm really trying to be tactful and polite......:doorag: Your'e entitled to your opinion, I'll just say mine is different. And what's with the apology:dontknow:, it seems your intent was to offend......, sorry is for accidents......

You too? :doorag:

I still haven't figured out a way to respond without him leaving the board. Guess I need to put on some dead animals skin and go for a ride on my two wheeler and think about it.

Spyder riders are a diverse crowd; more so than most bikes thanks to its accessibility.

Leather jacket or not, anyone who discriminates based on choice of vehicle is seriously flawed.

And Lamont, your M109r is sexy. What'll it take to get into your will?

Yes, I thought some comments about "sweeping generalizations" and "jumping to conclusions based solely on appearances" might be in order, but I thought I would leave it alone. I really didn't know where to start. Maybe I'll just sit here for a while thinking about death... :dontknow:
