I love the ride of the 13 better although I had gotten use to placing my feet on the passenger pegs when I ride alone (a habbit I find hard to break) on long rides you cant beat it. We did a ride from Jersey to Virginia in one day and it was great, no fatigue like on the 2011 rs.

But I cant ride a regular bike as I have a bad left leg which makes it difficult to shift. He wanted me to be able to go with him and I wasnt ready to ride with him on his bike. I had a spill riding with my father when I was a kid so when the drivers get smart and start swerving and speeding I had enough. We just got back riding over 360 miles to DC this weekend to Rolling Thunder. My only complaint is the mileage..31mph and riding at the rear of the pack when it has so much power. I wanted to shift and get down the road but they were still trying to get out of 1st gear.

Otherwise the Spyder is superior to a two wheeler in most other respects. With 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 120-130 this vehicle is fast enough. Read the actual specs. This is a motorcycle in virtually every way except it doesn't lean into turns but you must. It is harder to ride in that respect I don't recommend it for people who don't have fair upper body strength. Little kids ride bikes and small motorcycles without much trouble-same kids could not handle a Spyder safely.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837818827234477894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-25402257047522837512009-05-15T15:50:00.000-07:002009-05-15T15:50:00.000-07:00I saw two of these in action at the last poker run...I saw two of these in action at the last poker run.<br /><br />Snowmobiles on asphalt.

In fact, I ride it more often and on longer trips than I did my motorcycle. It's also better for urban driving because it's more visible and obviously more noticed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8934741358915685354.post-76330441743254927132009-05-04T19:07:00.000-07:002009-05-04T19:07:00.000-07:00I don't know...
