Finally got to ride one after a decade...

*disclaimer: wasn't really sure where to put this, but I figured it was general discussion*

Well, after over a decade of lusting, I finally got to throw a leg over a Can Am. BRP hosted the ride event for the Ryker last weekend up in DC. Not having a motorcycle license, I've never had the opportunity to go for a test ride. However, because this took place in a parking lot, there was no motorcycle license required. All I can say is I wish I'd done this sooner. Thing fits like a glove and rides like it's on rails. Needless to say I'm signed up for my trike endorsement class at the end of the month. I was always skeptical of the Y configuration, but damn, has my mind been changed. I'm totally sold! Can't believe I waited so long!

Term is “bitten” :thumbup:That was just the Ryker:roflblack: Spyders bite is lil more with the perks of storage, touring, security, tunes, & more. The Rykers are minimal compared to a spyder. So after you get endorsed make sure get a proper test ride & or look for rentalshyea:

Now you can go shopping. Best to test ride several different models before settling on the right one. Talk to other Spyder riders to get a good feel for the one that fits you. Then make it yours. You'll be happy you did

Wait till you dive into a turn at 70mph, throw your weight while you crack the throttle and turn your wheels back, as you drift the rear around the corner. Just like ol Doc Hudson! More fun than doing it in the Jeep on dirt or the Audi on the snow/ice.
