Last post for me on this thread....

Sad day today. Four times the tranny did not want to stop being engaged and stalled. The last time we had been in the turn lane in traffic. Bad issue on this one though, it would not let me put it in neutral so I could start it. I tried turning off the bike ETC ETC ETC....

In the end what I did was push on the foot brake just enough to make it think I had it fully engaged, and used the starter to move the bike, moved about three feet and fired up. Moved it off the road under it's own power.

This has ended our trip in Cali. Heading home now :gaah::cus:

For what it is worth... We are thankful for the time we have had with it so far and would not sell it for less than $5000 more than what we paid nojokehyea:. This baby is ours and we love it.

Our dealer is top notch. Already getting ready for us. They told us it was time to park it. Now it is a danger to us and all... cry... My wife is worried we will be without our bike for a few weeks while this all gets sorted out. Mainly because we think the parts are probably in Canada and the shipping is what will take the most time...

I actually feel bad for the dealer. They have been great. But this is what happens when your on the cutting edge with any new high-end product. Stuff happens....:doorag:

We have a bunch of pics. Hate parking our baby... Oh well! See you on the road in a few weeks (I hope)


Here are a few links to our setup as we prepared...

Very sorry to hear your trip was shortened with this problem.

Glad to hear the dealer is good and is waiting on your arrival. Hopefully they will get it sorted out soon, and have you back on the road and smiling again.

First I have to say hi to everyone I've had my spydee since may 2009 but could never post on this site so I sent an email and now it works. :2thumbs:Yes i am a brand new rider ( 2009 se silver moon) with many changes. recently I purchased the exhaust from kewlmetel and much to my supprise it turned out to be a straight pipe, so loud we could't here my husbands harley running and his is very loud, true duels don;t get me wrong sounded awsome, but the neighbor hood :chat:wood only put up with that for long. (solution) took an extra baffle from past exhaust systems ,cut torched,welded, and walaa we have silence by half. still sounds awsome:yes: Oh I recieved my invite to chicago but not able to attend. I have an uncle that could pass any time in P.A. But you all are gonna enjoy your self i'v been there many times, I have a handycapp child that his care is at the shriners hosp we made the trip many times lakeshore dr is beutiful Enjoy.........extremly happy:spyder2: from belleville, mich

Glad to see another MI Spyderlover join the ranks. As the summer progresses, look for meet ups and rides. There is a good group of MI folks here and we usually manage to get together at least once or twice.
