Finally did it!

[C. Lee]

After a couple of years looking, researching and negotiating, I finally took the plunge. I picked up my 2016 RT limited yesterday. I must say the information on this forum is great, almost too great though. If someone reads this forum only they may think the spyders are unreliable and prone to failure based on many comments here. My need to switch from my Goldwing to the spyder is health related, so the choice was fairly easy to us since my SO doesn't like the looks of a conventional trike. I'm excited about my new ride and hope to see more of us out the on the road. I have a pic to post but working on rotating it, it'll be up soon. Chris

Congrats on your new Spyder!

I guess people should post more threads about the miles and miles of trouble free driving they do to offset the complaint posts so potential new owners don't get the wrong idea. Or maybe not because they are having too much fun to post the good news here *lol*.

Congrats ...!

I too recently purchased a 16 RT limited and after 40 years of two wheels I need to tell you I'm still after 500 mi. feel like I'm getting familiar with it. It's a great machine and fun and comfortable to ride and handles well two up. Congrats and enjoy ..!

:congrats: ...... if your Spyder already HAS car tires on it .... for the best performance they can give you, keep the air pressure at about 15 psi on the fronts and 18 psi for the rear :thumbup: ....... This does NOT apply if you still have KENDA's ...... Mike :thumbup:

HEY!

AND you got the BEST color!! Light touch on the bars, ease into it. You will love it! W much prefers the back seat to the ones on our Beemers. For me knee issues required 3 wheels, and after years of playing with hers, there was no choice what to get.

Many miles and smiles to you!!

:welcome: and :congrats: Typical forum stuff regarding complaints. Complaints vs. good stuff are usually posted about 10 to 1. Those that like the :spyder2: and are having to much fun--are usually riding and not posting as much.

There are a few of us that visit the forum regularly, regardless. I look at myself as an equal opportunity abuser. I have said stuff on both sides--but my run with the :spyder2::ani29::f_spider:'s has been mostly good. I still ride both mine on a regular basis, and I have not had many mechanical issues in over 130,000 :ani29: miles. Call me a happy customer. :yes:
