How old were you when you bought your spyder? what are your thoughts on it?

[Raptor]

I was 38 and love my :spyder2: I ride it like I just stole it. :gaah:

TROOPER - TROOPER - TROOPER!! I bet you do Brother! The SE5 is heck of a box aint it? You can shift it like an F1 car! I'm back to grabbin my own gears now that I'm on 14, but I'm diggin it big time! :2thumbs: I can't wait for post-break-in so I can stretch her legs...

:hun:- I must have missed this thread when it first posted...

I was 52 when I got my :spyder: July '09.
I always use this :spyder: symbol because my :spyder: is yellow and the way it moves side to side reminds me of my DPS,GPS, SAS, VSS issues last winter:shocked: :gaah::roflblack:

But I love to ryde it. I never owned a motorcycle before, but when I saw the :spyder2: (a phantom- not my :spyder I spent about a month researching it and purchased without ever ryding it. In fact it was trailered to my door from Jacksonville.

I enjoy life a lot more when I get to ryde my :spyder:.

Well my wife had been thru 5 bikes before she wanted to go look at these things, she is _, and a short story we brought one home. I drove the thing home and said damn this thing is fun so i went back the next day and bought one too. I am 50, been riding two wheels since 1978, and still own several. It is fun to ride. :clap:

I was 50 in March of '08 when I brought :spyder: home from FL. I turned 51 three weeks later. At 53 now after 28 + months and 28,000 + miles, I'm averaging around 1000 miles per month. I agree with Spyderwolf, I,m 47 in Spyder years. If I keep ryding long enough I will keep getting younger and know then what I know now.
I'll probably buy another :spyder:. Ryde On:doorag:

Got my RT-S yesterday, at age 60.:yes: Really wouldn't be appropriate to take a firm position so soon, but the Wife already likes it better than the Electra Glide it replaced. So I can always say...:shemademe_smilie:

 

[Latemarch]

60 When I got the 08 SE-5
Not my first bike, but I haven't ridden in years.
Loving it. :doorag:

 

[taggtr]

41 when I bought my 2010 RTS back in April. Never rode a two wheel motorcycle in my life and this is a great way to get started. Really loving ryding the open road with all the bugs smashing into me! Thank goodness for the helmet! :2thumbs:

 

[flamingobabe]

60 years young!!! and you can't wipe the grin off my face!!! I love it! I've ridden behind my husband for 16 years, we've been to the lower 48 states 2 times and just lack 13 states to have been around 3 times. all Canadaian Pro. except Newfoundland & Prince Edwards Island. I love the Spyder!!!!

 

[M2Wild]

42 and thought its crazy to pay 5 digits for any bikes but decided to lowball the guy anyway .... guess it worked and with many smiling miles to come.:f_spider:

 

[retired1]

67 when I bought my RS a year and a half ago. I've had a few two wheelers over the years, still own three of them that sit in the machine shed. I got tired of finding a solid place for the kickstand, trying to maintain balance at stop signs, on gravel roads, slow corners, uneven ground etc. I bought the RTS in March of this year and have 6 thousand on it so far. It is as quick, fast and comfortable as I want, right now. I told them at the dealership, that this would probably be the last bike that thay would sell me, because it had everything I've ever wanted on a bike.
Just my opinion and reasons.

 

[Diggertoy]

I bought mine at 37

Hey Seth.............63 years old when I bought it in November '09:2thumbs:. Now I'm 64 going on 21.............didn't know that you could have so much fun on three wheels. This is my first bike and I don't have to worry about balance or leaning into curves, etc.:lecturef_smilie:. I'm only riding in the good weather, too hot when it's in the upper 90's like it has been most of this summer, but looking forwardhyea: to the fall when we will be going on longer trips.

 

[Clicker1944]

65.11 when I bought mine 04/10. Had a Harley for 5 years but sold it in 11/08. Thought I wouldn't ride again but then this ad for the Spyder came on tv. Who says advertising doesn't work. Wife and I love our :spyder2:

Hi Seth,
Just got my RT-S a couple of months ago at 71. Traded my Virago 1100 for a remodeled bathroom. Took my first mini trip this week, 450 miles, Great road bike.

I can't keep from getting older but I plan on being irresponsible for the rest of my days,
