Why did you buy your Spyder

My wife is getting stingy, she said I have to take care of this one because she won't give me another :dontknow:.

I think my big brother feels the same way about his!!! :roflblack:

GETTING OLDER

Didn't see this in any polls on the general forum. I'm curious as to what reasons folks had towards purchasing a Spyder in particular. You have $15k-$30K to spend.. you can afford some nice touring motorcycles or trikes or a sports car as opposed to a Spyder.

Myself. Me and the missus have street bikes and dirt bikes, but neither of us wanted a touring bike. The Spyder is our "RV" for trips longer than a few days; two up and loaded down.

Back when I was only 75, I hit a deer at 65 MPH, and it kind'a messed me up. After I healed up, I bought a new Yamaha FJR 1300 AE, and rode it for a cuouple years, but after a while it got to be too tricky balancing it at stoplights. The RTS SE-5 seemd like a good choice, and I haven't regretted it for a minute. Having a reverse gear helps a lot, too, now that I'm approching 80. I still love to ride my:spyder2:
Thanks to all, for this informative forum!
