This past week I reached a new mileage milestone on :spyder2:, I have 21,311 miles. WOHOOOOOO!!!!!

Here is a picture: View attachment 153634. I work full time in the work force. Also I have the rest of this month/and next month to ride. Then putting spyder into hibernation :banghead:. I'm hopping to reach the 22,000 mileage before hibernation.

Way to go :thumbup: I have just over 77,000 on my RS almost did not make 77,??? hit a road gator keep you eyes on he road especially in the dark I ride year around and as it get dark in the mornings it's hard to see those things in the road. Keep the rubber side down ride safe :thumbup::thumbup: jtpollock

Congratulations on the miles!! That means a lot of great rydes! Now, that part about the hibernation... I have to do the same thing here in Northern Indiana... I sadly put Hi-Yo Silver in storage and say, "Good bye, old friend. See you in the spring!" Maybe global warming will make us like the south so we can ryde all year long! :thumbup:

That is too bad that BRP does not offer any mileage patches. But I'll check Cat Specialties (vendor) to see if they have any. Deanna

There is a story that goes with the BRP mileage pins.

To get one, you had to register on their web site, you had to send them a picture of your odometer, the social security # and blood type of your 2nd cousin, etc.

It then took an inordinate amount of time to get the pin. I believe they were 10K, 25K, 50K, and 100K. The way the pin system worked, it was how many miles you had on a "particular" spyder, not total spyder miles. That in itself can make for another discussion thread--but is now a moot point because the pins are no more.

I have one of the 100 K pins and an spare in case I lose it. They sent both to me without asking (at the end of the pin program)--guess I got lucky.

I believe I sent a 10K one to Bob for his wife (a long time ago).

21,000 miles

Way to go Deanna.:bowdown: I know you were shooting for 20,000 this riding season and you blew right by that. What is your total for this season? I have about 400 to go to hit 20,000 and that will be 6000 for the season so far. Ride on. Ride Safe.:riding:

I have only used 1 set of tires to get my current miles.


The rear tire is a General Altimax RT 43 ( size: 215/60 R15) this tire is rated for 30,000m miles no problems with this tire. The original tire was changed @ 5,824. I am running 26PSI.

Several other spyder owners on here are also running the General Altimax RT 43,/and the Continental Contiprocontact maybe some of them will chime in.

The front tires that I am running are: Continental Contiprocontact (Size: 165/60 R 15) these tires were changed @ 12,807. No problems and I am running them @ 19PSI.

The General's and the Continental Contiprocontact are a good brand.
