Husband complaining!

[summerdawn]

I will soon turn over 5000 miles on my RT. I won't say I have mastered the machine but I'm very comfortable with it and have ridden it in all conditions. My husband complains that I tend to ride faster now than I did on my Harley. He claims I'm going at least 10 mph faster on smaller roads than I did before. I thought he was just dragging! His theory is that I feel more secure on the 3 wheels. I think it just takes a little more speed to get those little thrills from the ride! Has anyone else found themselves riding a little faster on the Spyder?

Funny you mention...

Odd... I am experiencing the exact opposite.

Used to ride well over 100 mph on 2 wheels.

On the Spyder I am having fun going only two digit speeds.

 

[grumpybob]

I tend to ride slower than I used to on 2 wheels. Could be that I am old now!!

I ride faster on the RT than I did on the GS. Rt is so much smoother I think.

 

[btcherm]

it either that or the Harley can't keep up........:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[revjvegas]

Its best that the harley be behind you anyway...that way when parts are falling off they're not bouncing up and hitting you.




:joke:

 

[Cruzr Joe]

I am with you Dawn, I tend to be a little quicker too. Just tell him that if he had one he would know how you feel and would want to run faster too.:yes:hyea:

 

[schnauzermom]

SAME-O.....SAME-O

MY husband has said the exact same thing!!!!:thumbup: That I am leaving him in the dust from stop signs more than on my Harley, and the twisties and curves faster than on my Harley...I think their just jealous...

 

[Bob Denman]

No doubt; you're riding with far more confidence now... :thumbup:
You could mention to him that he's more than welcome to lead a little bit if he can't keep up... :shocked: :roflblack:

 

[chickridin]

I've never riddin 2 wheels but, I'd like to think I go faster on my Spyder than I would on 2 wheels. hyea: :2thumbs: :yes:

 

[ARtraveler]

With experience and confidence the rides do tend to get faster. I went through the same with akspyderlady this riding season. With 5000 miles of experience, she has no problem keeping up most of the time. She prefers to ride behind and does not like to lead yet.

 

[Bob Denman]

Maybe it's time that you put HIM on a Spyder so that he knows what he's been missing! :shocked: :roflblack:

 

[draboo]

I just purchased an 01 Sportster. Now I can't keep up with the wife on our RT..the damn Hardley
vibrates so much, I don't know which out of the 4 Spyders I see in front of me is the real one!:shocked:

 

[Bob Denman]

But those Sportsters come with the best-made mirrors on the Planet! :2thumbs: The way that they shake at speed; if they wern't so great, the glass would pop out of them in about one second! :shocked: :roflblack:
(My brother has an '02 1200...)

 

[SpyderAnn01]

My husband complains all the time - I just quit listening. :roflblack:

 

[Adirondack Mik]

Still, riding my 04, in the mountains keep up if you canhyea:hyea:hyea:

 

[Bob Denman]

Don't say that around SethO, or Doc, or Randy, or... :shocked:

You could mention to him that he's more than welcome to lead a little bit if he can't keep up... :shocked: :roflblack:

:roflblack::roflblack:......I don't care who you are, that's funny right there...

 

[summerdawn]

Oh he does lead sometimes and then he complains that I'm about to run over him! We do trade bikes at times and he has allowed as how he might get a Spyder some day!

 

[Adirondack Mik]

We'll go through Cascade or the notch and we'll seehyea:hyea:hyea:
