Thank you for posting about the dealership. It is good to know that there are still some "Good Ones" out there. :firstplace:

Beautiful days ahead. Today blue sky, sun, and 78 degrees. Very nice sittin on the front porch and lemonadin. :yes:

Once you hit Missouri coming South get off the interstate as quick as possible. Hwy 65 South from Springfield turns into a very scenic road all the way into and through Arkansas. It will bring your...

RE: Group riding...we did it for years. I belonged to a group from 2002 until about 2017. It was a multi brand group, (I introduced Spyders to them in 2008). We had weekly rides (Thursday's), and...

Buy the Ryker that you think that you will like best. Once wife gets to driving, she will eventually sit on the F3L it will become hers. Ask me how I know. :yes:

The Ryker will probably sound LOUDER due to the higher rpms. That is the only annoying part that you have to worry about.

The early Spyders had a very high rpm allowance. The did not wake up...

That is a very good price. :bowdown:

We have people from our area that ride mules and mule driven wagons by our place all the time. Gotta love rural Arkansas. :yes:

We even have a Mule, Kawasaki that is. :yes:

I replaced two drive belts over seven Spyders and 200,000 miles total. Both belts damaged were my fault. I managed to drive on rocks and rocks became imbedded in the Spyder belt on our 2009. The...

This thread goes back to December 2021 and then one post in 2022 asking if the problem was ever solved. The OP has not been on site for a couple years.

70 degrees and blue skies. Looks like we get a reprieve from the bad weather for a couple days. :yes:

Our last day of bad weather for about a week. Yesterday, I stayed up during the early hours, watching the weather in my area. Two tornadoes doing damage about 75 miles North of here. That doppler...

YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. That's a great one. I love bikes with lots of torque. I was always a bit chicken to drive over 100 though. Like Clint used to say..."a man needs to...

:yes: :firstplace:

And speaking of Triumph Rockets. Yes, I had to check those out. 2300 cc--triple three. I went to the dealer. Beautiful fire engine red. I thought, I could like this. ...

I have always been a very conservative rider. :bowdown:

Opinions will vary, but let's remember to keep the replies friendly.

If you remember the 998's, we were told to change the oil early on that one. I believe it was 650 miles. ??? It blew my...

I don't ride anymore, but for the 57 years I drove motorcycles and Spyders, I never once did a WOT move. And I did own a 2000 cc Vulcan and a V-Max powered Yamaha Venture.

Also been there and done that. About three years ago, I had to give up my beloved Vulcan 900. At 730# it was just to heavy for me. A couple times laying it over because my leg gave out and I...

Thank you for the latest video. People should listen to what you said at the end of the video. You know what your doing, you know about limitations, and I did not notice anything that I would...

You know it's really the dogs bed. The dog just lets you sleep there sometimes. :yes:

This one also works for cats.:yes:

I see red flags. A dealer with a drop off and wait repair policy has a couple strikes against them for starters. IMO of course. :bowdown: Do you have other dealers in your area ??? Any...

We had similar on both our F3's. It added just the right amount of "bling" factor. Never used them to carry anything though. :bowdown:

:firstplace:

A week of 80's for us.

The Cicadas are coming, the Cicadas are coming, the Cicadas are coming. According to the map, looks like we are going to be ground zero.

We had both the signature light and the bump skids on our F3L's.

The signature light was more for show but not good for nighttime lighting.

Come back as often as you want to reminisce. We still have a good group of people to talk with. :yes:

An answer from the "other side."

I used Kenda's on all but two tire changes. Both "other brands" never got tested out in full because I sold both machines before the tires wore out. I have...

:welcome:

Just an additional thought...

And they have maintained their reputation from day one. :2thumbs: :firstplace:
