Is that a DJI mic I see you using? I went with the DJI Mic 2 and some other pieces to mount the receiver right there on the side of the X4. Still playing with it all, noise cancellation, in full-face helmet vs when have half helmet on, etc...

Speaking of soaked, I was riding home a week ago from a dentist appointment and got caught in a thunderstorm. I had a full-face helmet and a rain TOP on but not my bottoms. When I got home and took off my boots, I literally poured probably a cup of water out of them! I should have put my rain bottoms on but was being stubborn. Ride safe!

Enjoyed your show. Still looking for mine.

Great job just missing a fuse inline. Or I maybe missed that bit

Looks like it kept off rain for you and good to see the ride out with like minded Spyder friends. I know you said you are considering an F3 that is the one I intend to go for in the future.

Very Cool Brother ... I wish I was there riding with you! The F3 is more like a Naked Sports Bike ... I Absolutely love mine especially because it has the Manual Gearbox just like a Traditional Motorcycle plus I don't have a Big Windshield just a Gauge Bikini which makes it even Sportier Ryde Safe Mate 👍😎🤙

I also enjoy group ryding. It's always nice to share all things Spyder with like-minded riders. You get to meet new and wonderful people and make some new friends. The only thing that sometimes irritates me is that group rides don't often stop along the way for beautiful scenery or to allow a stretch stop or a water stop inhot weather. I suppose it is easier to stop when you're only 2 or 3 Spyders than a group of 25 or 30. But still, riding for me is all about the journey. I am thrilled to attend my first ever Spyder rally this September, SpyderQuest in Lake George NY, should be a great time to meet other riders. And thank you for finding Spyder Wayne's deer😉 Cheers!

Nice video and good editing x3 did good I love to meet other riders at event , but i am not a big with group rides. I usually meet them but only occasional ride with them. I like to ride in smaller group ( 2 to 3 max) I usually ride with my friend that has an HD , yep with the ryker , but my new muffler system sound like him !!!!!!! I will ride tomorrow as it will be a nice day .. But I see that you are wearing your road rash equipment ( oops) Question : do you ride in single file during your rides , I am looking this week at a F3 2017 manual Daytona ( yep Yellow) as a longer ride bike , but I keeping my Ryker also ..... Alain & Yellow

Great Vid!

Nice to see you out ryding with other Spyder ryders! Looks like you had a good time. Nice group of Spyders there too.

Great video. I'm ready for more. I think I see a f3 coming soon

I really like your 360 camera. Very smooth video & the rotation views look great.

F3's come with peg's or floorboards and 5 points of location. yes my Son is 6.5 with ultimate floorboards on his F3S (2015) as apposed to my RTL22

Great video ! I have a 2020 Spyder and was thinking about getting this unit . I have two questions. What do you think about the size of the 7-in screen I was thinking about the 5-in screen? Also how do you get your music to play through your spyders speakers? Thanks in advance appreciate the video.

I love my X3, it's a little more editing work, but it's worth it. Just curious, did your X3 overheat or just outta juice?

Haha, well I'm glad you didn't become close hugging friends with my "deer" friend 👊🤣👍

Man, I wish my Spyder said 89 degrees. Mine said 113 the other day. It was only 107 in reality. Just isn't real fun when it feels like you are riding in an air fryer. Have fun!

Do you have the 5 or 7 inch screen?

UGH - my '18 Spyder RT Limited now has a misfire on cyl 1. Runs rough and goes into limp mode. Mine only has 4,000 miles on it so I'm THINKING it should be simple - but watching this progress just makes me cringe as to how bad it could be! Love the channel!

What a great refinish job on the paintwork, it looks amazing! You mentioned an older Spyder F3 2016 with low milage. I have noticed a few like this of recent and can't help wonder why the milage is so low for the year?

Seems like your RT Ltd just became a 2024 model! Mine is a 2023 and I have a USB-A and Stereo plug in the glove compartment. USB provides power - s l o w charger, probably 1Ah. I use my FIIO M11 with 1 TB of available music in full lossless FLAC Stereo & the crushed style MP3 through the Spyders Stereo or my Cardo. Does your model year not offer these inputs? I know the trunk powers faster and has a light. Never looked for an audio connection. I listen for map turn by turn via Google Maps but admittedly, I cannot see them so this system has a big + there. I hope Android Auto has had serious upgrades. In my van I just couldn't shut the darn thing off! Made me nuts so I had to disable or remove. I forget which.

Wow! the Phoenix looks great. I've never seen someone use a heat gun to bring back the black on the plastic, really cool 👍

I want friends like that! Very cool

Dave did great tell him to get a wrecked spyder so we can rebuild it for him

Fun stuff! Dave did a great job! I went back and forth looking at the saddlebags and wheel fenders on your trip out to Dave's and, later, after he did his magic...what a transformation! Cheers to the Phoenix.

Dave did an Awesome job Adam ... It looks like it's been repainted! I used a Flame on my Sea-Doo Spark Hull it's Polyethylene ... Brings it up like new! I love the name Phoenix very appropriately named ... I remember the movie Flight of the Phoenix with Jimmy Stewart Brilliant movie Cheers brother 👍😎👊

1:50 Have to do the Riker maneuver to ride a Ryker.😂😂🖖✌️🤙

Wow I wish I had friends like you. Dave did an outstanding job. The Phoenix is alive and well.

Looks great!

Great that Dave's son volunteered as camera man... Great job!

The Phoenix.. interesting name..

Glad Dave was able to help!

Wind isn't interfering with your audio but I can tell it's windy.

Squirrel 🐿️! 😄

Don't see many Spyders around here either and very rarely, a Ryker...

You keep that rain lol.. Dave sounds better than the clay bar... Those are hard work.

You can crawl out the front of the helmet with a knife and then smooth it with A leather baseball to buff off the rough edges because my helmet has like a styrofoam so I just carved out a little indention in the front and then I smoothed it with a leather ball

Clean up nice , good name Alain & Yellow

We try not to dwell on our hearts too much. Because we try to go ahead and appreciate every day that we live after that. True, life is a Is blessing Thank God that we have extra days to look forward to I have 7 Stance. Still pull a trailer behind my motorcycle. Camper. That's a goldwing 1995se Traded for a RT limited spider. 2021. I'm 68. The bike was getting a little heavy with the trailer. And the wife. Well, it's easier with the Can-am

Nice device. I gotta say, I still love my Garmin because I can create EXACT routes (.kmz files) that I want and load them into the Garmin. I got too aggravated with my routes changing after I 'sent to my phone' with the other nav providers/options.

How many miles were on the RT when you pulled the motor apart to inspect it?

The sound of an engine coming to life for the first time after you do a repair is so rewarding. Riding after is even more rewarding. Well done!

That looked like no easy task. An old trick for two wheels is to lay the bike on it's side and drop the motor in. Wow, to watch you wrestle that just made my back hurt.

Awesome, I love engine swaps. Sorry you had to go through all this, but it is exciting watching the videos seeing you getting it going again. I once drove to get a 2003 ZRX1200 engine and stuffed it into a 1985 Kawasaki ZL900 frame.

For me, I also have a low back injury. I tried to buy another big cc V-Twin bike and it was just too heavy for me to pickup and maneuver backwards out of parking spots, etc. I really enjoyed my years on two wheels, but I needed to find a more comfortable solution and something where my wife could 2-up with me. I considered a Gold-Wing trike, Harley Trike, and other conversion kits but the truth of the matter is they are all conversion kits except for the Harley. I didn't want to have to worry about finding parts for a conversions rear axle down the line or something like that. Then I considered how the two machines would corner. I still like to ride the twisties in the mountains where I live, and a conventional trike just wouldn't corner good. So I started leaning towards a Spyder more and more. Then I rode one and I just automatically knew I had to buy one. The dealership I bought from was a little over 2hrs away on all hick roads, and when I got home my back didn't hurt a bit. It was then I knew I made the right decision. I'm currently 47 and I don't care what other people may think, I know this is what is right for me. Thanks for sharing your story

I'm sending you out a package tomorrow! I hope it helps you...🤗Best wishes!!
