I am trying to decide if I want to pull the trigger on Monday and buy a new 2011 Spyder RT Audio & Convenience. I was just at a biker bar and was asking many of them what they think about Spyder owners and how much crap they give them. Do they even respect them? Do they mind them riding along on trips etc.?
For the most part, the guys I talked to said they respect anyone who rides and they don't really care what they ride. Now I know that isn't always going to be true, there are probably times where disrespect is shown toward Spyder riders, especially behind their backs.
I am a very capable rider who sold my big bike 11 years ago when we had our first child. The reasons I want a Spyder is so my wife can drive it, and I feel much safer when taking the kids for rides etc.. If I have a cocktail or two it's also is safer.
Calling all experienced Spyder owers, are you respected most of the times and how many times do you feel disrespected and what is said or shown at these times?
Thanks!
