Never thought I would say this, but.....

I've been part of the Spyder family for a bit over five years now, ever since I traded in my amazing but too heavy Honda Gold Wing. But the recent addition of a brand new KIA Telluride added to my wife's Mini Cooper convertible means that the Spyder RT no longer can stay in the garage. I have it outside now, covered with a decent vinyl cover and the battery tender attached with a long extension cord to my garage. I'm just not sure that I can keep it outside on a permanent basis, going through the hassle of taking off the big vinyl covering and putting it back on each and every time I go for a ride. Pretty much any two wheeler would fit behind the Mini in my garage, so I have found myself thinking about returning to the world of two wheelers instead of three. I would hate to give up the stability and comfort of the Spyder, as well as the need to return to a clutch lever, tipover risk, and likely loss of cruise control. I guess I'll let the Spyder just live outside in the cold (and snow before too long) for at least awhile before making a decision. I wonder if there is such a thing as an upright seating bike of no more than 400 pounds with cruise control, a decent windscreen and enough power to use the Interstates. This sure takes the nice edge off getting the new KIA.

I was able to get a storage building and be able to drive it in there. I hope you can figure something out sir!

Spyders don't like to sit out in the weather. No motorcycle does. Hope you can get some more permanent protection for it.
