Anyone going back and forth from their Spyder to a motorcycle?

The only thing I would suggest is that when you first get the Spyder, do not ride the 2-wheeled stuff until you feel comfortable on the Spyder and you have built up the muscle memory for riding it. Basically, don't add confusion to your transition. Once you have that firmly under your belt, then the transition between the two will be much easier. The first five miles will probably always be a quick transition relearning curve.

Got rid of all my 2-wheelers except two. My IT 400 mono shocker, which resides on a milk crate now forever, and a jewel I came across years ago. An original Tote Goat. If you fly off the mono shocker, it's a long way to the ground, but if you flip off the Tote Goat, it still hurts, but you are only inches from the ground.

I recently sold my Moto Guzzi California 1400 and bought a Spyder - mostly because riding 2 up was becoming more of a struggle as I get older and I wanted to keep riding with my wife. But I still jump on my Vstrom 650 solo almost daily. No issues going back and forth but the Spyder does take some time to get used to. I do miss the hand brake.

Same boat here... Spyder is two up, V-Strom 650 for just me. No handbrake on the Spyder, but I keep reaching for it.

I still ride the poor, old, slow V-Max. No problem with the counter steering as the muscle memory is well ingrained. I'll be 79 in a couple of months. V-Boost is a kick...

Not a problem for me. Had my F3-S along with my Honda CTX1300 for about 6 months before I sold the CTX. Never was an issue. The CTX has been gone 3 years now, but last month I started dirt riding again in preps for the Florence Grand Prix race in Florence, KS, last weekend. Again, no problems. While riding my ‘97 Kawasaki KLX300, was rocking’ my Team Can Am riding jersey during the race.

One persistent issue I'm working to overcome is lane position. On the two-wheeler, naturally I'm in either position 1 or position 3 (IOW, in a tire track). It took me a good while on the Spyder to recalibrate myself to ride in the middle of the lane; I often found one of the front wheels riding near the yellow line or the fog line. I finally got accustomed to riding in the center, and then I started riding on two wheels again. I had no trouble reverting to riding in a tire track while on two wheels, it just seems natural. But then the next time I rode the Spyder, it seems like I had to relearn center of the lane riding all over again.

I think I go by feel. If I'm on the trike, if I'm not in the center of the lane the steering doesn't feel as natural as if I'm riding with the front wheels out of position 1 and 3. It took a while to be able to switch between the two and just as I mastered it, I sold the last of my two wheel bikes as the arthritis became just too much.

Having been raised driving on the left, and having been driving in many countries that drive on the left over the years, I'm always a bit conscious of road positioning in case I subconsciously revert to the wrong side. I know it's been 36 years now, but when you occasionally have to mix things up it's easy to make a subconscious mistake, so I'm kind of hyper aware of road positioning as a result.

Going anti-clockwise, rather than clockwise, around "roundabouts/traffic circles" still feels unnatural on two wheels, left - right - left is just ingrained into your brain from an early riding age.
