• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Spyder Rental in Houston

Does anyone know of a rental company in Houston who has a Spyder? My husband and I are looking into purchasing one, but we would like to try it out for a few days first before making a definite decision.
 
Nope, never heard of anyone renting any either.

I think the best you're going to get is a test drive at the dealer. Course you can go to multiple dealers if you want and ride one at each place. No rules against that.

When I test rode mine, they only wanted to see my MC endorsement and sign a waiver before I took it out.
 
When I test drove mine, they just checked my licence and took down some info. Gave me a quick lesson in Spyder control and suggested I make a couple laps of the parking lot before taking off. They did not follow me, just said enjoy the ride. I was gone nearly an hour, I had told them I planned and extended test ride. Mancuso had no problem with that. Test rides, even extended ones are free. I have even heard of them allowing overnight test rides.

Be warned though. You WILL want one after getting comfortable on one.

I agree Mancuso will help you, especially if you already have your M license. If you don't, they may be reluctant. However, they do the motorcycle training on 3 wheelers about once a month and they will supply the Spyder if you don't have one. So for the $150 or whatever you could get 2 days on a Spyder under supervision. Mancuso would know who to talk to about when and you'd want to make sure they were really loaning you a Spyder and not something else. Just a thought. On the other hand, I was nervous about not liking it before I bought and I can tell you after a year I'm still enjoying mine. Simple to ride. Some states don't even require an M license for them. Relatively safe.
