Cheaper to park the Spyder in the city than a car????

I work in a very unique building and we have a large courtyard that I park in.

you know how i feel

yes, we are of a similar breed

Awesome pics.
I finally got to see the pics after logging off of my facebook account.
I was wondering how the Spyder handled in the snow. An AWD Spyder could be interesting.
Love where you got the LEDs above the rear tire. Do you have more anywhere else? I am trying to decide where to put LEDs on my bike.
What kind of Helmet is that?

- Just in case there are still issues with the photos I just created a standard album up on my site. http://nick-caro.com/Y/snowspyder/

- On the highway, it was a dream, but that's because of the tri-state army of DOT trucks. Secondary roads are different story. It takes a while to get going with a ton of clutch and throttle management. If you juggle it just right, you wont have a VSS stall. Gear braking is almost non-existent. Any time I tried it, I would fishtail like a shark. It was actually amazing to have the tail swing from side to side as if I was swimming. ABS is stellar and very predictable. Throwing the rear tire in line with the track layed by other cars is also important, the fronts can plow right trough the pow.

- Helmet = BRP, BV2S
I love it. The faceshield was frozen shut and I never fogged up. I also have asthma and the mouth/nose mask has been a blessing to avoid cold dry air.

- LEDs
Look at the pics, I have some ambers in the front as well. Its the daytime picture at the end.
