Undercover Spyder Lover

[Baphomet]

Ok, I love my Sportster. To hear a lot of Harley-Davidson owners talk it seems it is the unloved stepchild of the HD line-up, being called a "starter bike" or "girl's bike". The thing is, after several thousand dollars in engine mods and aesthetic mods it is the closest thing to heaven in my opinion and I would not trade it for a bike 10 times its value.

Now my wife goes and gets herself this Spyder RS SE5 (which is the reason I joined the forum) and I cannot keep my butt off it!! I keep making up excuses to ride it. I definitely want to get me one of these rascals!!

I hear ya.

I hear ya Bapmopet. I am still going to get me a two-wheeler again because there is something about it that is pure pleasure but that darn "Spyder" really is a blast to ride and the attention I get on mine is kind of addicting. It's all about the fun isn't it? It is for me!!!

I haven't riden my FLHTC sense 08 when I bought my RS PE#353. I just bought a RTS. Having 2 Spyders now I know the HD won't see the road much anymore.

I know what you mean, I enjoy the spyder more than I enjoyed my Road king and more than my yamaha roadstar :2thumbs:

I don't know, the Spyder isn't for everyone... I just haven't been able to find that person! :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

 

[BajaRon]

I hear ya'. While the Spyder is fun to ride, it will never replace my RoadGlide....nojoke

You're absolutely right! It won't replace my RoadGlide either! :roflblack:

We just traded in our #200 RS and my ST1100 on a RT-SE. Now already..I find myself, once again, wandering the dealerships/Craigslist looking for something with one missing wheel.

Perhaps a used V-Rod?:shemademe_smilie:

Its okay to love more than one motorcycle brand. I love my RTS--but also love my Vulcan.

Oh, I do hope so! I could be called eclectic, at best, with several brands in the stable. What's worse is, if there was more room, there would probably be a bit more variety.

First time I have ever heard anyone call a Sportser a "girls" bike. I certainly would not say that. Must be a cultural thing. HD culture, that is! If I could I would have 2 wheels in the lineup for sure, and even though I'm told I can never have one, I have not completely ruled it out!

Traded my 2007 Ultra Classic in on my 2010 RT-S and haven't looked back. Now the question is "What do I do with all these Harley tattoo's?" :roflblack: (Still a closet H-D lover, though!)
