He said they are popular with more experienced riders that don't want to give up riding but don't want a trike or trike conversion kit for what ever reason. They also offer more storage without the "bulky" look.

There are so many "nanny" sensors to keep the Spyder from tipping over it doesn't lean nor does it slide through the corners. Like I said above, it is totally like riding an ATV without the ability to run through mud and snow.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511418214984130122.post-89720017884208088462013-04-05T16:51:37.727-07:002013-04-05T16:51:37.727-07:00Me, either.

I think he was commenting on my riding style :^)<br /><br />One of the reasons we looked into a Spyder was my discomfort with doing 2up on two wheels. My aging knees was another. Heather found it comfortable, but was sort of, "What's the point." <br /><br />It is its own ride. It is more like riding an ATV. I could get used to riding one, if it wasn't so ugly.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511418214984130122.post-25897432351349712492013-04-05T16:44:10.895-07:002013-04-05T16:44:10.895-07:00Welcome!

Chris thinks I should put a third wheel on my Symba and then I would be able to ride on the few days I can't already.<br /><br />It is great to hear from another Symba rider.

They're asphalt Skidoos (but no lean, please). At least the Skidoos and Seadoos lean.David Massehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346419242154545286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511418214984130122.post-20646093741800778592013-04-05T09:45:14.836-07:002013-04-05T09:45:14.836-07:00I never liked the look of the those myself.
