When I took a road trip to Smyrna, Georga in 2019, I trailered the scoot because I was starting to get balance issues on two wheels. I'm so glad I did. There was a wreck on I-75, so I was stuck in traffic for 45 mins. It was nice in an air-conditioned truck instead of in the heat. With the Spyder, I bought an enclosed trailer to have dual use.
For transport and storage. When I went to Tazwell, Va to ride the Back of the Dragon last July, it really was a lifesaver. It's cool when you get more "Mature" with age, you really don't care what other people think.
It looks like Miriam's Meat Loaf was screaming "To go box please!"
We gave lots of thought to an enclosed trailer, but opted for the stinger
Yep, got a to go box so I could throw it away in our hotel. Didn’t want them to think I didn’t enjoy it! Sigh*. When are we going to learn to buy one entree to share?
In 2015, I trailered my Spyder to the Spyder Rally in Myrtle Beach. Rained all the way from Stafford, VA to Myrtle Beach. I was nice and dry while the DMV Spyder Ryders rode their bike from MD to Myrtle Beach. They were drenched. That was when I had my Ford F-450 and Holmes 6'x10' trailer. Now I have a Toyota Tacoma and am considering buying a Stinger trailer. At 77, it is a better way to go.
It will certainly be a good trip!
I want to get the Stinger trailer. Will have to tow it with the wife's Highlander. I sold my truck and just have the Spyder - fully committed! Ride safe.
You can't go wrong with this travelling setup. Travelling with the Spyder, in comfort, no matter the weather, with lots more added storage in the SUV. 😁👍👍
I like to see how Miriam has come into her own on this CZcams thing. I’ve been watching you since the beginning and her viewpoint is much more prevalent.
Thank you!
Wow, that meatloaf dinner, looks like they served you the whole meatloaf, Miriam 😳☺️😅
Right! Got to make sure I still fit into my motorcycle pants!! These kind of places make it such a challenge!
First road trip for 2024! Woo hoo!! Test runs are good ideas! Glad you could deal with that tailgaiter lol
It's a great trailer would be nice to see how you tied it down...for a different perspective
That Stinger trailer made light work of transporting the Spyder. Looking forward to the key west trip later on. 👍
We just finished our cargo trailer!! I'm glad your trip went well, beautiful area to ride. ❤
Had a stinger trailer from day one of getting my spyder. Have found a few things with the trailer, it rides really low even when using an adjustable hitch! Plus not as easy to fold or put down as shown on the company’s video! The cover is a good idea, as I went through a torrential rainstorm last June & the spyder got cover in a gritty sand afterwards ! There’s only one guaranteed for trailing only from CanAm, which I now have yet to test it out this year’s camping season. Ride safe regards Stephen Alberta Canada.
Road trip! Road trip! Hooray!
Great and you will adjust and get more confortable having the trailer behind you! Totally understand you when I start to pull the Toy Hauler behind the pickup you drive more defensive and it ok!! First word we need to remember is you are on vacation!! Last thing is make sure you do not have China Bomb Tires on it!!
Hope you have a great trip to Key West! Enjoy!!
Having pulled boat, snowmobile and utility trailers all of my adult life I can’t stress enough a Spyder cover specially for trailering. It is only a matter of time before the tow vehicle or oncoming vehicle kicks up a stone or other debris and puts a gouge in the body, damages the windshield, etc. Takes extra time yes, but saves the repair costs and trips to dealer.
Great to see the new trailer and 4Runner in action. Great combination. Had a 4Runner and it was great. Know you’re looking forward to Key West. You’ll really love the set up when you go through your first torrential rain storm and your dry and cosy. Hugs to Miriam and looking forward to seeing you guys down the road.
💯 Agree...
I just bought completely covered in trailor for my spyder which is identical model colour and everything to john & Miriams... I had considered a stinger trailor... But my thoughts were exactly that of stones hitting my Beautiful Spyder...
Worth investing in a fully covered in Trailor...
Look forward to one day meeting up with Miriam & John...
Come to NZ for an Explore
Hi John & Miriam, glad to see you all are doing well. 😀
Hadn’t heard from you in a while and was getting worried.
Glad to hear the stinger trailer trip was a success.
The mountain road was a curvey one for sure but I like those types of rydes.
Ryde safe and God Bless
Miriam, I love meatloaf!!
Morning. Well now that was a nice trip for testing. Mrs Rowes is probably one of the nicer places in that area to eat. Kate and I sometimes have breakfast there then we head east and go thru the mountains.250 is a windy road, you should try rt 33 west. A lot of kiss your rear end turns. Hope your trip to key west is successful. For us it would, long hauls on the bike takes its toll on us. I figure it no doubt is wearing on you two. Having a vehicle does also lend itself to a bit more security. Well you guys have yourselves a wonderful weekend.. later.
You too, Bill.
Hey John & Miriam they speak of riding the Dragon but Highway 250 has it's exhilarating moments as well. Rode it on the Spyder coming back from Kitty Hawk to Canada. I can't imagine pulling a trailer with a Spyder on it, would be a good test for your towing skills.
Stay Safe Stay Well and Keep 3 Wheels Down!
We trailered the Spyder to Deadwood last year.Worked out pretty good,the hotel we stayed at had plenty of parking.This year,we will pull the Freedom trailer.
,
Great trial run. Used to live in Stanton back in the day. I like the Spyder Stinger trailer idea it beats the alternative. Enjoy Key West, it's a fun 'one trip' thing. Narrow streets and lots of traffic, but the Spyder will serve you well there. We are in Sebring, I think you pass right through our village on 27 going south, unless you take some other route. If convenient, stop by, we can do lunch or something. Think you have my email or cell, if not and you can stop off, I can get it to you. You know me, I would be remiss if I failed to comment.
love my Stinger, Central Florida
Cant wait for Part 2..on the way to Key West Florida..😊
Hi John and Miriam. It may not be a 44 foot fifth wheel but it is a trailer. Practice backing up because the time will come when you need that skill. Small trailers definitely react faster than long trailers. A good dinner always makes everything better. Reviews Reviews. Spyder ride yay. Love the twisty roads. Take care you two
Thanks, Barb. You guys still in Indiana?
@@miriambryant1896 We are by the grandbaby again till Tuesday, then we're heading up to Elkhart to spend the night somewhere and picking up the RV from Riverstone on Wednesday. And then we will finally begin our out trip West with an overnight in Illinois a few days in Wisconsin and then finally into Minnesota, which is where we want to be. When we're home, we're never on our own schedule. We're always on the world schedule around this.
Have the time of your life! Squeeze very possible hug out of that precious little girl to sustain you out west. ❤️
Looks like a Fantastic trailer 😊
Great destinations guys! We had lunch at at Mrs. Rowes just last month and I agree with you Miriam, the portions are huge! Monterey, VA is another great destination too. It looks like you guys went to Hulls Hideaway, which has great cherry cobbler. High's Restaurant is another great place too. Excellent BLTs. Can you tell we like to "ride to eat" LOL
Glad your new rig is working out. I'm sure it will serve you well for your trip to the Conch Republic. 🐚 😃
Research…it’s all research! We count on your foodie advice, Frank!
I just saw one of these advertised for sell.
May make your travels a bit easier!😊
Well, there you go...I've been pronouncing Staunton incorrectly. lol
You know John I saw that thing flex a good bit when you loaded the spider on it. I don’t know if it will stand the test of time. Good luck and I hope I’m wrong.
Hi! You will probably pass through Ocala on your trip. Stop by and I will buy dinner.
You are so nice to offer, Ray!
I have been looking for something like that in Australia. All the fold-up ones here fit a golf buggy (too small). To get one built is about $10K and the Stinger cannot be imported as it does not meet our design Regs (lights and hitch connection). They changed trailer laws in our state recently where you can't build your own with having three to be destroyed for testing by the Transport Dept.
Because I am about 4 hours from my nearest service agent, a trailer like that would be ideal to take the Spyder for a service. I go twice a year as I put so many km on it. I could then drop the Spyder off and go for a drive around the Sunshine Coast area in Queensland.
Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed your Spyder Ryde, very similar to a road I just did in Australia, the Oxley Highway. Keep up the great work and safe travels.
Steve from Australia.
Wow! That’s interesting. Didn’t realize Australian was so restrictive.
@@miriambryant1896 Yeah, it is our poor roads that they try to compensate for. Also, not sure about the USA, but it is an Open Motorcycle licence to ride a Spyder here. You can't just use a car licence like in parts of Europe and New Zealand.
Trailer looks nice! Does it come with a spare tire? You won’t need all that heavy clothing heading to Key West! Can’t wait.
So here's my trial by fire story...we were in Milwaukee...I had ridden two up with TommyG on his HD and friends had trailered their mc...long story short, they were in an accident on their way to our house from Long Island....they were a little banged up. Another friend lent his truck and trailer (he had trailered to our house) to them to take the MC to Milwaukee...the friends felt better enough by the time we were ready to head home to ride the MC. So who would drive the truck and trailer? Well, that would be PO3...it was an enclosed trailer and pretty big. My "training" was to drive the rig around the parking lot of the hotel...make one left turn, one right turn and I "was approved". Well, I drove that thing for 9 hours, even through construction in Chicago. I had never towed a trailer before in my life. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, lol!
You are a wonder on wheels!! Can’t wait to hear more of your stories in person!
@@miriambryant1896 really looking forward to that also, Miriam! 🤗🥰
Isn't that something? I always forget to check for trains, lol...we've had that happen a time or two!
At least they don’t blow the whistle at night! How often do you get to sleep in a room that has periods of earthquake like vibrations? It’s all part of the adventure, I suppose.
@@miriambryant1896 🥰🤗🤣 yep!
I was ready to pull the trigger on a Stinger then had my AFIB event which pushed me into the Slingshot.
Read your comment on coach bobs video…so glad you caught your problem and got good care. We like having you around!
Great video. I am trying to decide whether to get an enclosed trailer or a flat trailer.
Saludos Pareja. Aparte del video que esta muy bien, si hay algo que quiero comentarles. He visto como novedad que en comentarios Google me traduce automaticamente al Español. ¿ les ocurre tambiena Uds. al reves ?
Very nice maiden journey for the trailer! Will you be using a tarp to cover the Spyder when it's on the stinger trailer? Happy to see your travel season started! Cheers!
John will speak to the tarp/cover issue in the next video. Don’t want to steal his “thunder”. 😊
Well i was wondering where the two of you have been. We miss riding in Virginia. We just bought a pickup and i was wondering if you would do a video review. I may resort to SpYder adventures in the same way. Good to hear from you, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
We are looking forward to it too! It’s getting close now!
Be sure to and carry a spare tire!
You might want to check your tongue weight on your trailer. A light tongue weight can cause the noise you're herring, but that noise is telling you something. If you don't have the proper weight it can be very dangerous under the right conditions. This can be done by weighing it under the jack when fully loaded . Not hooked to vehicle just jacked up in the shop. I hope this is helpful. Where you experienced with trailering, the drop of the vehicle also tells a lot. Your tow vehicle should drop significantly. Anyway hope it helps ,I belive it was coach Bob turned me onto your channel, have enjoyed you both. Blessings
Good point, the tongue weight is fine,,
I’m from South Florida and want to give you a heads up. Trailer parking in the keys may be slim to none. Just research possible parking options.
We are looking for a spot to store it securely in Homestead. Any suggestions?
@@miriambryant1896 unfortunately no. But I can ask around.
Our hotel will accommodate us - yeah! Problem solved.
How were the foldable aspects of the Stinger? Judging from the videos, it looking simple enough to set up or tear down.
The procedure is simple, but its kinda hevy,
How does your good wife feel about pulling the trailer while you ryde? 😊
Not happy
Does this mean the freedom is going away?
No, the freedom trailer has served us well. We’ll continue to use it on shorter trips.
