My Introduction

Hello,

I am 69 years old with 56 years of two wheeled riding experience, 48 on Harleys. I raced the Grand National Enduro Circuit as an "A" class rider in the 70's. Raced armature Flat-Track and TT, Single Cylinder class. I have had Suzukis, Penton/KTMs, Rokon, Yamaha, Harley and now Can-Am. I currently have a 2019 Yamaha Super Tenere, and just traded in my 2011 Harley Electra Glide Ultra Ltd for a 2024 Can-Am Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky. I came to the realization that I just can't handle the weight of the Harley anymore (artificial knee and hip, back is held together with screws and pins). Briefly looked at a Harley trike, then took a look at the Can-Am during Demo Days at a local dealer two weeks ago and feel in love. I don't think I will miss the Harley at all.

Usually do a week-long ride a few times year with my riding buddy of several decades. And a couple of week-long trips a year with my wife on the back of the Harley. This will be a new year; I lost my wife of almost 50-years in April. So I lost my back-seater.

Sorry for your loss, I do hope that riding on without your back-seater after so many years isn't too hard to handle.

I keep telling people that 'you don't get too old & stop riding; but rather you stop riding & you get old!' :lecturef_smilie:

So Welcome to SpyderLovers and with any luck, the Miles of Smiles that most of us find Spyder Riding brings! :welcome: And Congrats on your new Spyder too! :congrats:
