First time ride on my Spyder today - I think I'm gonna like it!

After having a stroke almost a year to the day. I had to find a way to get that bike feeling back that we all love. So bought my Spyder RT ltd second hand from the the guy who invented the magic mirrors. He was selling for a mate. Here in Tasmania, my experience adjusting to three wheels was trust the machine. try riding with the loosest of grips or one handed. build trust in your pride and joy and you will have many years of enoyment

Out on the open road I run cruise control most of the time and use the increase or decrease button when changing speed zones. I just relax my hands on the handle bars, except for when the German Shepherd came out of the brush of the median on I-10 entering California right in front of me. I hung on tightly and steered through it, taking the hit from the center of the trike to the right front wheel that went over about the center for it's body. 5525 bucks later for tupper ware and right hand radiator, it was like new. It cost more, as the 2018 Champaign panels had to be painted. They did a great job, you could not tell the difference between the new and old panels.
