Spyder Rider Demographics

Frankly I don't give a damn. My bike. My ride. Think what you will.

I'm 71 years old. I can't run as fast as I could 30 years ago.

I got mine because I was getting concerned about the likelihood of tipping over. I actually dropped my 2005 Goldwing 6 times in two years, once because I forgot to put the kickstand down when I came into the garage, twice because I was suffering from heat stress and didn't know it and went off the edge of pavement just as I was leaving a rest stop, twice putting my foot in a pothole while stopped, and once when my foot slipped on gravel on the asphalt almost stopped.

My 50 something nephew bought his because his wife said he could. She years earlier had forbade him to have a two wheeler. Her previous SO was in a vegetable state because of a T-bone on a 2 wheeler.

I am 54 and I have been riding 2 wheels my whole life. I was riding as soon as I was walking and I had my first mini bike at the ripe old age of 7 and I progressed to bigger and better ever since. as of September this year i bought a RT but not because I'm crippled but i wanted something different and 6 months before my last crash i was thinking about a can am so here i am. Some people say i do a lot of riding as i travel 35,000 or more miles a year and so far i have dun it all on 2 wheels that was until this September now i will be doing it on 3. as far as riding on 2 wheels i still get a lot of miles as I'm a MSF Rider Coach and i teach every week some times 2 wheels other times 3 and yes we use the spyders, HD and sometimes things that shouldn't be on the road.

In my 30s, been riding 2 wheels since 17. I bought a F3s because it was different. I still have a 2 wheel in the garage which I rarely ride.
