Hi all! I wanted to make a quick introduction post. The other day, my neighbor insisted I take his Ryker 900 for a ride. I was worried I would fall in love the trike, and after a short ride my fear was confirmed. I came off the trike thinking, “I would really enjoy one of these.” About an hour later I asked him if I could take it for a longer ride, and he more-than-happily agreed. Well, that second ride really did me in!
I started calling a bunch of local Can-Am dealers and every single one was sold out of Rykers… except one, who has a Ryker Rally in-stock (and still in the crate). Well, I went ahead and placed my deposit on the unit and am in the middle of the purchase process. For some reason, it won’t be ready to be delivered until the first week of August, but I am extremely excited!
I grew up riding quads and snowmobiles with my father at our family vacation home in Maine (I’m from New York). The Ryker very much reminded me of being on a quad—a riding experience I absolutely love (and miss)! While I wish a manual transmission was available, I can still hop in my cars when I want to row my own gears. Something about the twist-and-go riding experience on a toy like this seems like a lot of fun! I have a feeling that, at 30 years old, I’m on the younger end of trike riders, and I look forward to interacting with and meeting others in the trike community!
I’ve already started looking at potential parts to add to the bike to make it unique/my own. I think the LED headlight swap will be the first thing I do, especially since I ordered the LED auxiliary LED for my Ryker.
