Great Video! What it's like to ride a Spyder

[finless]

Love Shawn Smoak's videos. This is a pretty good one especially for someone interested in one!

Have watched other videos by him and he has the gift to gab :thumbup:

Always found something informative with his presentation.

Heck you can even " go Buck Wiley on them" :roflblack:



Very easy to listen to as are your videos Bob!

:agree: He's real easy to listen to; a must-see for the curious... :thumbup:

It was one of his videos that finally convinced me to pull the trigger on mine.

I found this video last week, it is what helped my Wife and I decided to purchase one. We have been drooling over spyders though, since they first came out. Your correct, he does have the gift of gab. I am sure I would run out of things to say during that jaunt!

Take Care,
Louie

Odd. Unless his camera was gyro-stabilized, He didn't appear to be leaning into the curves. I have to on my 2014 RT; otherwise I get the distinct impression I'll get tossed off.

His bike also appeared to run very smoothly on the back roads; mine's kinda skittish (yes, it's been laser-aligned). I find it's quite a handful.

And at one point, he was confidant enough to take both hands off the handlebars for a moment. I don't dare do that (again, the skittish front end).

You dont have to lean unless you want to be real agressive which he was not in this video. GRIP! I think a lot of people want to grip the heck out of the bars. RELAX loosen the grip and just ride it. Most of the time going through corner I dont even have my fingers wrapped around the bars. My "push" hand my fingers are just sticking strait out. I am not saying you are doing this, but it could be part of the problem.

I dont have a 2014 RT but I did do a Demo ride on one and I thought it handled quite well. I was actually really impressed as my 13 ST I had to do some upgrades to get it to handle good.

If yours does not ride like that then you have some problem.

This is how mine rides and I have not had any alignment done yet.

If yours wont do that (hands off for a while or able to steer with a finger) then you have some problem.
