Drum roll please...

[Tyler]

what oil do you use and how often to change it...new crush washer every time ???moki break in...when is ya first oil change gonna be...20mi...100mi...600mi ???

what octane gas ???

ya gonna go with an non OEM tire at first change...ha...looks like it's a dark sider stock

Iridium plugs??

Forgot to ask what type of oil but from what the rep said, I shouldn't be needing to deal with that unless I see a puddle under the bike!

First service is 600 miles or so.

Low octane gas is fine.

Tires should last about 12K miles so won't be an issue for awhile.

No idea on the plugs but I'll ask next time I'm there for ya...

Hey, where'd the pic go of her on it?? She looks good on it!! B) If she gets one, we'll have to do a Spyder ride... there is a growing "Y-factor" culture out there... the rep I bought the bike from said a lot of women are buying them as they are more stable and they feel more comfortable on it...

Three big wheels and smile from ear to ear. You were glowing with excitement in those pictures girl. It's an absolutely marvelous thing to see you back in the saddle. I hope we get a chance to ride together sometime soon.
BTW, Mrs. Wee Willy has an eye on that design. I'll be watching your posts for all the detail Patriot asked about earlier...and remember...reuse those crush washers and save yourself some serious coin.

With very best regards,

Wee Willy

Fixed it for ya Tyler.

My wife Kat saw you on that bike and said (for the first time) she'd be interested in getting a motorcycle endorsement if she could ride "one of those". :yahoo:

Then she heard the price. :huh: But at least I know what she likes now...

Can't wait to see a ride report.

 

[FJRless]

...and along came a spyder. Looks appealing. Maybe when I'm ready to give up my gixxer.

In CA, you don't need an M1 to drive this... not sure about other states so you might want to double check. As for the price, keep an eye out on Craigslist or Cycletrader as used ones come up upon occasion and you might be able to get a good deal. CanAm has stopped production of the Spyders for a new vehicle they're coming out with (4-wheel ATV kind of thing, I believe) so they may be hard to come by for awhile.

Nice! :good:

A reply from ODOT:

"Thank you for your inquiry. The 3-wheeled Spyder does require a

motorcycle endorsement. If you take the drive test in a 3 wheeled

motorcycle the license would have a restriction that you are only

allowed to drive a 3 wheeled motorcycle until you pass a drive test in a

2 wheeled.

But look at all the morons you have to share the road with in Kalifornicator land!

 

[FJRay]

I would think lane sharing is going to be a bit interesting on the Spyder. Hope people give you enough room. You need some of those chariot blades on the front wheels for those that get to close.

Or stilts that raise it up to go over the cars like in the cartoons...

All I wanna know is "who's the hottie on the three-wheeled thingy?"

 

[kolonial72]

Glade to hear you're back on two wheels, plus the installed spare.

Thanks, Howie... :wub:

Haven't we all wished we had a spare tire in those flat moments?
