Talking The Spyder RT is Longevity

Well at almost 66 yrs old this great bike is going to extend my riding ability another 10 to 15 years. After riding 2 wheelers for over 40 years I am really looking forward to this new experience.
I really look forward to reading and communicating on this forum...
Everyone be safe out there.

Agreed, Spyders to extend a riders ability to continue to ride. Also makes riding much more relaxing.

BTW, welcome to the spotlight!

Default Many Miles

We were about to pull the trigger on a GoldWing trike, to replace out 2 wheeled wing, when my lumbar spine pulled the trigger on me. So Rather than a Wing it became a Spyder. 16,700 miles later from 1 March 2011 we are;

Are you sure you are old enough to ride a Can Am RT????????

I purchased my first motorcycle (a 2011 Can Am RTS E5) at the age of 70 August 1, 2011. I currenty have 5000 miles on it and ride frequently when the Oklahomma temperature is 45 degrees or better. We have had a mild Winter this year;thus far.
