Dealer in Virginia area with lots of Spyders + how do you get on your Spyder?

[spyder01]

I drove my GW 5 hours down to Motomember from Delaware bc they were the only ones that could get a leftover 17 rtl in the color I wanted and at a great deal that we negotiated over the phone.Ask for Paul.Also gave me fair trade value on GW.

They were still in leesburg!

I was just looking at the inventory and pricing that Winnex3 just posted on the Ryker Forum. When you click the link the OP has in post one, it goes to a dealer in Kalamazoo, MI. It also has a good selection of Spyders listed with some great prices. Might be worth looking at. They have several touring models as well as some F3-S, brand new for 2019.

I am 6 feet, 210 pounds, and 70 years old. I stand flat footed on the ground beside the Spyder and swing my leg over it. Any foot pegs should easily support 200 to 300 pounds. If they would not, then they should be changed out for some that will. Riding on dirt and rougher surfaces might involve standing on the pegs to keep the bottoming shocks from pounding your backbone so bad. The seating position of the F3-S would prevent standing on the pegs, but I had both forward and center pegs on my old Sportster and stood on the center pegs often for potholes, etc. Never heard of a foot peg breaking off, other than in a crash. The shear strength on a 1/2 steel bolt at the thread root is around half a ton........... way more out at the bolt shoulder. Any broken foot pegs I have seen involved pieces of the case where the pegs were attached breaking out in a crash and not the foot peg bolt shearing.

Motomember Purceville VA ask for Billy
Great thing about this shop is they give loaners while the service or repair your spyder

 

[Chasinsparks]

Not sure how for Purcellville Va is from you but Motomember has a large inventory. According to their site right now they have 148 in inventory.

The consensus is certainly Motomember! Thanks to all. We're planning a trip up next Thursday.

Foxtail1 I have an F3-s and I got the third peg setup from Lamonster. They work great, because my peg are moved to 4 position, too far forward and the passenger peg seemed to far back. Just have him try all methods. Good Luck

Okay, thanks! I wasn't sure what the weight limit was, and didn't look it up this morning. He's about 210.

I weigh 240 and have no issues with the floorboards.

You could try Triangle Cycles in Danville, VA. Fairly good selection of Spyders.

It was a good day, and we're now a two Spyder family. We didn't bring it home, because it's getting a bunch of farkles first. Thanks for all of the advice and recommendations! Oh, it's a 2019 Titanium F3-T.

 

[CopperSpyder]

:congrats: on the new F3T !! Nice!! :2thumbs:

 

[ARNIE R]

Nice choice. :thumbup:

Try this place in Virginia. I browsed here but due to budget, I ended up buying a used one from Brooks Powersports in Pennsylvania (loved them by the way!)

So where did you get it?' Motomember?

Congratulations too!!!

Congratulations too!!!

Yes, Motomember. We were very impressed with the dealership. The salesman really took time, and Jake tried the different models, though it was really between the F3-S and the T. He also fitted it to him— something that was never done for me when I bought mine locally. He also fitted me, and I'm going to get new handlebars on mine as a result.

I'm probably going to ride mine up Friday and leave it there for some farkling (swaybar, handlebars, and LEDs) and ride his home. (I don't think his first ever ride should be 3.5 hours on a busy interstate.)

You might want to check out Brewer's Cycles in Henderson, N.C. We were there last Tuesday (13th) and they had several RTs and an F3 Limited as well as an F3-S on the showroom floor. Good dealer to boot! Good service dept. also.
