Finally figured out what my Spyder is!

[mtdoragary]

This is my second Spyder and I've always had an identity crisis when riding them, I thought for a while it was a wheeled snowmobile or jetski, or a reverse trike, but I finally figured out it's ACTUALLY an 80's Riva scooter on steriods that you drive like a hack!

I still refer to mine as a motorcycle. Old habits die hard. :roflblack:

That's my final answer. BUT, unless you've owned a Riva 180 AND driven a sidecar rig, you wouldn't understand.....

:dontknow: Never ridden a snowmobile or been where one would be useful, at a time when you could ride one... To me, it just like ridding an ATV on the street, with street tires.... We put a set of old car tires on my Griz 700 w/DPS, and it was surprisingly similar.

X2 I agree. I've never ridden a motorcycle. My powersports background is all ATV and a little snowmobiling. I bought the RSS to be able to have an atv like riding experience in a street legal platform.

I owned a Riva 180.
I know all about a Riva.
The Spyder ain't a Riva

The Spyder is a snowmobile that you can take anywhere.

:agree: EXCEPT... on snow! :shocked:
