Lots of activity here. I love these threads. I listed my last ride here. The first was listed in another thread. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?16099-What-Was-Your-First-Motorcycle I couldn't list all the ones I have had in between...I don't even have pictures of them all. There are some pictures of some of the current stable here. The fleet currently numbers 26, counting the Spyders. We're still having lots of fun.

Really??? :shocked: Let me know when it's available! :thumbup:

Sonny-Boy is looking for a good starter bike.

I just gotta make sure that the fuel lines are the only issue before I sell it. The good news is I bought it w/530 miles on it and it has just ~5000 on it now. I put new tires on it when I got it so you will be good there. It has sat a while, so let me get it running and I will let you know.

2012 Kymco Like 200i scooter. Still have it and still ride it when riding by myself and 85 MPG is desired.

Thanks for the memories...

As many have stated once they got a spyder they never looked back but this thread will hopefully take you back and put a smile on your face give you a few good memories of where we all came from. I'm older than dirt and it makes me feel no older..enjoy the memories...:roflblack:

I rode a 2007 Harley Softail Springer (CVO model). I loved that bike and rode it 50,000 miles. I traded it in on the Spyder and hope to have as many happy miles from the Spyder!

 

[kyspydergal]

I started out on a Honda 50, then graduated to a Kawasaki 100, Suzuki 125. Switched to atv's in 1982. Still have my Honda TRX250R and have added a Polaris 400. Also rode a 1971 Sportster for a couple of years. Now ryde a '09 GS-SM5 and love it.

I guess it depends on how far I should go back. First first ride??? My Big Wheel was my original roadster...lol Now to fast foward, my Cannondale bike and Linhai 150cc scooter. My friends always say "Yo, anything with wheels huh?" That's why I love my avatar, I guess.:ani29:

.....and my wife says "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!"

Mine bought the last one herself (1961 Honda C100 SuperCub). I'm glad she sees things differently.


Her ride before her Spyder was a 1968 Honda CT-90 Trail 90.

The most recently bought new:
2009 Goldwing...... Best two wheeled bike I ever owned
2009 HD Ultra......Worst 2 wheeled bike I ever owned. Worst Harley I ever owned.
2004 HD Electraglide..... 2nd best 2 wheeled bike I ever owned.
2003 HD Softail Standard....Fun bike. Long on looks, short on comfort for the long haul.
2002 HD Sportster..... What can I say? I always wanted a Harley and this was my first.
Before that it was when I was young and bought Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki, all used and whatever I could keep running to use as a second car.


Now:
2012 Spyder RT Limited...... By far the best wheeled vehicle I have ever owned!
