Congrads, you will love the Spyder, I traded a Ural sidecar rig in on one of these and I have never looked back, don't get me wrong, the Ural is great fun as long as you understand what it is and can do, the Spyder well......it does everything! BTW, this is a great board and a great bunch of people.:thumbup:

Hi there, welcome and :congrats:.


I just took a quick look in your photo gallery - nice looking machine.


However, the under the seat shot has be slightly concerned. If you look closely it looks there is fluid leaking from your front brake fluid cap (the one near the lower part of the picture), and it also looks like the tab/bump on the outer edge of the cap is on incorrectly. I could be wrong, but it may be a good idea just to double check both brake fluid reservoir caps to be sure they are on tight, have a good seal so no brake fluid is leaking from either one. If fluid leaks it can degrade brake performance and the fluid can strip paint on your painted parts, like the frame and swing arm, etc...

Hope that helps.
Cheers from Newfoundland and welcome aboard!!

Hello everyone. My wife just purchased a used 2008 :spyder2: PE # 3171 with 2000kms on it. We got a great deal on it. I've been riding bikes for a few years now and have tried very hard to convince my wife to get her license and get a bike. She tried riding my 2 wheel bike but didn't feel comfortable on it. She was thinking on a getting a scooter because they are automatic and would be easier for to ride. I tried very hard to covince her not to get a scooter. :lecturef_smilie: When we went helmet shopping, we walked into a dealer that had some spyders for sell. Well that did it. :2thumbs: She fell in love. We couldn't afford a new one so we started looking for a good used one and found one. We picked it up 2 weeks ago, and she can't ride it yet. :cus: The DriveTest centers where you get your license from, here, are on strike. She is pretty upset, but I have been riding it with her on the back and love it. She can't wait to get her license and ride it herself. So far we've put 1000kms on it and couldn't be happier. We hope to find other :f_spider: riders in the area to go on rides with. :2excited:

hi there folks...my wife and i are new to the spyder game and are awaiting a new 2011 RT which we may upgrade to a RT-S. we'll wait and see. we saw the bike by accident and arranged for a test ride at snow city cycle here in scarborough for this coming wednesday. my wife is a long time goldwing rider as was myself and a sidecarrist as well. recently we have been riding on a ST1100. I AM CURRENTLY UNDER A MEDICAL SUSPENSION UNTIL MY HIP IS DONE SO MY WIFE SUE (sorry) will be the primary rider and me as pillion.
fortunately she loves to ride and was a great pillion as well, but it's time for her to get back to being a primary and she is VERY excited!:2thumbs:

hopefully we'll get a chance to meet many of you folks during upcoming rides and before even. i won't be able to ride for several months during rehab and such but sue may be out and about.

cheers all
