Things better/safer than a 2 wheeler.....

[JoeSpyder]

Please list one thing that is better/safer since you purchased your Spyder.

1. Your body & head won't SLAM into the pavement because your front wheel slips out from under you in a curve...

 

[jvicker]

The size and look of the spyder gets you noticed. Which is good for safety and the ego.

 

[Spyder Cat]

Hard to come up with just one thing better/safer about the Spyder.... there's so many.

My #1 would have to be stability ..... love the Y factor.

Loose gravel -- NO problem with the :spyder2:

Wifey leaning the wrong way or moving around -- No problem with the :spyder2:

Railroad tracks -- NO problem with the :spyder2:

Wet pavement -- NO problem with the :spyder2:

Don't have to put my feet down to stay vertical.:2thumbs:

Owning a KLR that is a big bonus.:yikes:

 

[Smokinspyder]

if im throttle happy off the line i wont be seen with one wheel on the ground and the other at 12 oclock . or Wheelies are a little more difficult with the Y factor !!!!:shemademe_smilie:

 

[Bob Denman]

The only problem so far is when the Missus catches me talking to pretty young things about my Spyder... :shocked:
Other than that it's all good! :thumbup::roflblack:

 

[IWN2RYD]

My wife is not only now "Wanting" to ryde almost any chance she can come up with, but she drives too! :2thumbs::doorag::spyder2:

Does this mean that you get some deer jerky?

Three point stance, whether we had VSS or not. The big ones in the desert are gravel patches, sand, oil, flat tires, road debris and ice/rain. The spyder is no guarantee, but bikes are going down all the time around here from gravel either in an intersection at low speed turn or coming to a stop or at speed while out riding. Sand drifts that are like black ice. Lack of rain in the desert causes a thick film of vehicle fluids that rises up once rain does arrive. Ice or hydroplaning, flat tires...just so many easy ways to go down on 2.

:agree:The condition of the roads out here with sand, gravel, water, (people draining pools and Fire Dept. flushing hydrants) is a constant hazard. I have had several friends go down in past years and now I don't worry about it. It is great peace of mind. :2thumbs:

 

[jedd]

VSS keeps me out of trouble

 

[Marker]

Would not be riding if the spyder had not been invented. For this reason I am forever grateful to BRP for inventing the spyder :clap::2thumbs:

The spyder has also helped people become enabled spyder ryders.:clap::clap:hyea:

 

[SpyderWolf]

They have a sport version that I do not have to hold up at stop lights. :thumbup:

Oh yeah, they are also highly customizable.

Compared to a fully laden motorcycle in France, 2-up, being asked to "please" back up a hill by an irritable French filly in a Citroen on a anarrow dirt road who had missed her turn off, the Spyder's reverse gear in my opinion would be an absolute winner! :firstplace:

I just wish I could live through that moment again, but this time aboard my RT!:yes::spyder:

Stability, after hip replacement three wheels makes ryding much more comfortable.
Wife loves it, refused to ride on two wheeled vehicles.
