Spyder's and Age

[bigbadbrucie]

73rears, and I got my Spyder in September last year. Got my first motorcycle in 1959, a 1949 Royal Enfield 500cc thumper (single cylinder). This was back in the day before helmets or electric start. When bikes had a decompression lever as well as a spark advance lever and you had to kick start them.

Safety and Age

It is not a function of age. Ride what you like. Like what you ride.

My Riding Partner is in his early 40's hear his response to the SpyderLovers Poll

Simply more fun.

I was a Harley rider up until 2 months ago. I'm 52 and traded (with cash back) for a 2008 Premiere Edition GS. Spyders are a LOT more fun and a LOT easier to clean.

Age

68 and love the Spyder. Rode 2 wheels for 50 plus years. Just wanted something different. When I first saw the Spyder, I said, some day I want one of those. When all my friends were riding Goldwings, I was riding Yamahas and then Honda ST1100. Just don't like to do something just because everyone else is.

I will be 51 next month. Bought my first bike for my 40th birthday gift to myself. Since that first time, I have owned 11 different bikes, and 3 different spyders. I think I will be keeping this one (2016 F3T).

58 going on 24 again. Riding will do that to you.

Older not bolder

I think as we get older we tend to care less about what people think , and think more about what we would enjoy . I used to get a kick out of working at Heights when I was younger but now it makes me a little nauseous... we do lose that invincibility mentality at some point I think as well . I seem to have a little more disposable income than I did as a youngster too . All that said most younger people would love a Spyder once they drove one for a while

Bought my first Spyder in 2008, I was 51 when it was delivered. Now on a F3 and still loving the Spyder.

Ryde it like you stole it

62 here, feel like 20 again at times...then the body brings me back to reality. I spent over three decades on Harleys, with my last one being the Tri-Glide. If all I was doing was interstate travel I'd probably still have it. But, as the wife said, "We didn't move to Tennessee to stay on the interstates." Once I got passed the "Harley only" mentality, the Spyder, 2012 RT-Limited, rocks! We both love the comfort of it (once I got rid of the stock seat), and the way it handles. I tried to convince her we needed to get the newer models, but no go, as I've sunk $$$ in to this one. Ryde hard, ryde sober. Hope to see some of you in Maggie Valley.

Wrecked a 2 wheeler at 25 and gave up riding, have been curious about Spyder since they came out. Turned 50 and bought me one, love it I just wish I would have done sooner. Half my life I gave up riding and now I will ride a Spyder until I can't.:doorag:

To old

I am 70 don't feel a day over 99. Had a couple goldwing over the years but had to tiptoe and holding up the bike up was getting to hard. My dad always told me if your feet reach the ground you're tall enough. Purchased 2012 RTS and don't have to tiptoe anymore.
