Coach Bob, we met a lady back home in Maryland she was 65 years old. She had just got her license to ride her motorcycle and We took her out for a ride and she had a great time. I believe you're never too young Or too old To learn how to ride a motorcycle. So get out there and Have fun and be safe doing it
I started riding two wheel in 74. In 2022 I had to give up two wheels for medical reasons. I wasn't ready to stop riding. I got my spyder rt limited in 2023. I love it my wife tells me I am like a dog, got to have the wind in my face.
We are canine brothers. I am with you 100 percent!!! 👍👍👍
We are 65 years young & bought our first ever motorcycle a 2022 Spyder RT Ltd after looking at it for years. After going through Covid we decided to take the plunge & enjoy what life we have left while we’re still able too, & it’s so much fun! We have met so many other people who think the same way. So coach keep doing these great videos to let folks know you’re never too old to ride & get that wind in your face ! Regards Stephen & Pauline Alberta Canada.
It took three years of convincing by my best friend who is now 72 before I got my very first motorcycle, my Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky, in 2022. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Every time I ride, I have a smile on my face and joy in my soul. Cheers Coach!
That is awesome!!!! Cheers!!!🍸
I rode Harley’s for 20 years and then my wife asked me to stop. Hadn’t ridden for 7 years and got tired of watching everybody else having fun. So,for my 76th birthday I bought a2020 TriGlide!! It’s a struggle getting on with my bad knee,but after I get on my body becomes 50 again. Gotta get a new helmet. I cracked the old one because my smile was so wide!
That is awesome!!! I am glad you're out riding and doing in a way that makes you happy. Smiles per miles is paramount!!! Thanks for sharing your story. 👍👍👍
Bought my first bike at 50 last year, a Spyder. Wife told me tonight she liked riding with me even more than she thought. Made my heart sing.
You are absolutely right! I am to be 64 on November 22 and I picked up my 24 Sea to Sky on February 17th. I’m pretty sure that it was the first in Utah. I have had it 6 weeks and hit 3400 miles yesterday 🤓. I haven’t ridden in 45 years. It be “in the wind “ makes me feel alive like I haven’t felt in decades. “Get one” is all that I can say and DO the Can Am motorcycle safety course. I’ve ridden through Zion National Park 6 times now and am always in awe of God’s beauty. It poured rain for the last 2 hours of my ride yesterday , and property geared up, at freeway speeds, I was once again amazed at how this machine performs. Windy mountain roads with rain to the point of snow flakes, blew my mind and even had me jumping up and down as I called a fellow rider to say how much I wished that he was there. Live life while you can and Praise God for every breath you are given. Happy Ascension Day. Hope to ride with you in Deadwood this July! Spyda’ on!
I am 67 years old, and for the past 10 years, I have wanted to buy a Spyder RT. But I was telling myself that spending almost $30K on a toy is foolish. Now that I am retired, now it's time. You are so right, Coach Bob, I don't have another 30 years. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts on this important issue.
Carpe Diem...Seize the Day!!! 👍👍👍
Welcome to the three wheeler word, we are the same age, I have a 2022 F3 Ltd, love it, my first bike, my emotional support vehicle
Yes, yes yes you can! Starting to ride a three wheeler at 72 is not at all inexplicable.
I rode two wheels for 50 years and had to ride around my work schedule for 43 of those years. Only riding in nice weather …sometimes on weekends when I could find the time, when I wasn’t busy doing some errand or chore. But when I retired, I bought my first SPYDER! Yeah, it’s a challenge. sometimes… I have neuropathy in both feet. I had my one shoulder replaced, a knee replaced. I’ve got horrible arthritis in my feet but damn that Wind therapy is amazing!
What riding into the golden sunset can do for you is amazing…and I’m gonna be 73 in July!
I started riding at 65. I took the three wheel course, got my three wheel motorcycle license and bought a Ryker. Taking the three wheel course will probably tell you whether you have the bare minimum coordination and reactions to ride a three wheeler. If you do pass it, you can buy a three wheeler and start practicing to work up to street riding. Once I felt comfortable with street riding, I started driving on highways. Remember when you are practicing that practice is riding and can be fun. I bought my Ryker in the summer of 2001 and now have over 17,000 miles on it. I have never looked back and am now addicted to riding. I ride everyday that the weather permits. I would start by taking the course and then determine whether riding is right for you. If you can physically do it and you enjoy it. Go for it. If not you at least gave it a try and you will know it is not right for you. Good luck.
Excellent and sound advice!!! Thanks for the great comment!!! 👍👍👍
Another get video Coach Bob. I’m 48 and my wife is 45. I hadn’t ridden since high school and my wife had never ridden anything. We went and did the 3 wheel course that can am offered on their website. It was great. Two years after doing it we finally got a spyder RTL. My wife absolutely loves riding she takes it to lunch whenever she can. We enjoy getting out and riding two up also. To the gentleman that asked about ride I say do it. It’s so great to get out and enjoy the wind and scenery. Go take a riding class through can am and see if you even like it. Looking forward to the next video coach Bob.
"Act your age..." 😳😄 ... I feel like I'm acting my age but then I keep seeing my Dad in the mirror, which makes me smile wondering how that happened 🤔😂
I experience that very feeling. Especially if I just catch the glimpse of my reflection. It's like my old Dad is walking with me!!!👍👍👍
I like the t-shirt I keep seeing, says: "I don't know how to act my age. I've never been this old before. "
I started at the age of 68 and had never ridden a motorcycle before. At my age I was concerned about balancing a two wheel. My grandson found me a 2011 Can Am Spyder RT Limited for sale. I looked at it and test rode it after getting instructions how to operate the semi-automatic transmission. After the test ride, I was hooked and I purchased it and really enjoyed it. Wished I had started at an earlier age. I enjoyed riding the Spyder so much, I traded my 2011 in for a 2022 Spyder F3 Limited. I feel
Glad I made the decision to get a Spyder.
Your never too old to ride
I'm 56 and never rode. I picked up my 23' Spyder RT limited in Sept 23'. Dang! Why did I wait so long! I Love my Spyder!
Just got a 2024 rt limited !!! Had to sell my beloved gold wing 3 years ago due to my health 🥴🥴🥴 the spyder isn’t my gold wing but it’s still like riding a motorcycle!!! It’s gotten my wife and I back out there enjoying life instead of waiting to die 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 we are 68 years old and enjoying every moment we are on the bike 😇😇😇💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💕💕💕
I was given my brothers spyder after he passed away last year at 69. I am 67 now I want to enjoy life now. Bad dna in my family
In my opinion it is NEVER to late to ride! There are so many options out there for people with different abilities. As for The Comment in question... I strongly suggest take a Spyder Course and see what you think, they aren't for everyone but I think you will absolutely love it and you have an advantage of not being programmed to riding 2 wheels which can take some getting used to when going to a Spyder. Don't wait another day and go for it!!! So maybe people I ride with are retired and much older than me. Go For It!!!
Well said!!! 👍👍👍
I dont like the "motorcycles are dangerous" arguement.the motorcycle as a machine will not hurt you if handled properly and yes,there is inherent danger when riding it.but again,the bike itself is not dangerous.love your channel bob.
I don't like that argument either. I tend to hear it the most. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👍👍
We are in our late 70's and moved to from a two wheel to a Can Am in 2021. We do two to three week to two week trips during the summer and love the adventure and wind theropy. Meeting others during these rides is one of our joys. Do it while you can. Enjoy the ride!
Coach Bob 3, I have riden H.D. E-Glides for many years. The past few years I haven't felt as safe as I should due to some physical issues. I am 71 and have road my Harleys 4-5 thousand miles cross country many times. I've tried the Tri Glide, hated it, put a Voyager trike kit on my Glide, hated it. Bought a demonstration 2020 RT Limited in February and have riden about 5 or 6 times so far. I really like it and hope to put a ton of miles on it this summer. Love your videos, see ya down the road. Yours truly, Harley Dave in S.W. Ohio.
I appreciate this comment. When I made the move, I honestly struggled with leaving Harley Davidson. The Spyder has been a great experience. I hope you have 10's of thousands of joyful and safe miles on your Spyder!!!👍👍👍
I saw spyders at the Kansas state fair 10 years ago. Loved what i saw. Decided I'll get one when i retire.
Last year at the fair i saw them again and got a card. I decided why wait till retirement, get my dream motorcycle now. Purchased my 2018 RTL in October. Love it! I ride it to work and every day i can. I have smiles for miles.
ThNks for your inspiration Bob.
God Bless
Oh I am 64 .
I’m 64 and never rode on the front of a motorcycle. I always rode on the back. I decided it was now or never so I finally made it into a Can-Am training class. The five hours of MSF bookwork was a cram session because I didn’t see the email that was sent giving me 30 days. By the time I saw it I had less than half a day to finish it. It ended up taking me seven hours. It was also unfamiliar and my aging brain made it tough. Then came the riding class. It was two days long and I had never rode nor worked a throttle before. I’m pretty sure I was the worst one in the class. lol I was determined to get that certification though. The second day I even shed some tears and I didn’t really want to go. I was certain I wasn’t going to pass and I was terrified of the range test. The other class members either owned the exact bike we were learning on or had driven two wheelers all their lives. I was the only newbie. It was an hour drive to the city where the class was held. After pep-talks from my family I forced myself to get in the car and head to class. I prayed to the big J all the way. There was a point that day that I even think I audibly said Come on, Jesus…hop on, we’re doing this! By some miracle, I passed not only the book test, but the range test and I even squeaked by the written test after all the others were over. I was exhausted. I couldn’t believe it! I received my new license with my certification a few days ago. It has been a lifetime dream. Through the years husband’s always told me no that I didn’t need to ride a bike. Lost two to cancer but what it taught me was life is short. Finally, it’s my time. I watch your videos a lot and I’m learning more and more and more. I had bought an F3 limited Spyder before I even was certified. I was really rethinking that during the class. Thank you for what you do. It really is helping us out here that are just learning. It’s never too late and you’re never too old! I’m living proof.
I love your positive spirt Bob! BTW I was watching your video today laying on my back doing stretching exercises for my lower back after getting hurt playing pickleball for the first time.😂
The struggle is real my friend. Get well soon!!!
Well I did it found the motorcycle of my dreams and brought myself a new 2023 CanAm Spyder RT Limited. I turned 62 on the 9th of April and rolled home in the rain 80 miles. Loved every moment of it. Thanks for sharing your experiences because of you I’m off the couch having a ball.
It is never to late! Just be safe.
EXACTLY RIGHT!!!👍👍👍
Good advice. I am in the process of going to three wheels. After four back surgeries, with permanent nerve pain, holding up a mid size bike is now easy. Right now I am riding a full size Harley dresser. The drop is real.
Another great video from the great CB3. 👍👏😃
You are a true legend in the Spyder world.
Ryde safe and God Bless
Wow, thank you!!!👍👍👍
Great videos, one of these days I hope to be able to afford one. I agree with you, got to live life while you can, because it sure goes by so fast! I really miss my ST-1300, sold it when I came east, now I want three wheels because my hip will like me better! But that bike was a dream!
I am 65 and ryding my Spyder despite being told in 2015 that I had only a 20% chance of still being alive in 5 years. The only thing I changed was to co register the bike in my name and my wife so when the time comes she will be able to do what she wants with it without jumping thru hoops
You are a true encouragement. Your journey inspires me at a time when I definitely need inspiration. I am glad you're here!!! CB3 🫡 👍👍
Hang in there Jim! God bless, Rob
I began riding after my 60th birthday and I love it! Hope to see you at the Deadwood Rally. ⭐️
I hope so too!!! I am working on the logistics of the Deadwood Trip. Thanks for being a part of the CB3 Channel!!
I’m 74 old. I ride a Spyder RT with my wife and my dog. No problems to ride it at my age.
I had a motorcycle when I was younger 23ish. I didn’t ride for many years but I wanted to before it was too late. At 68 I took the 3 wheel course and decided we are going to do this. I say we because my wife was all in also. We bought a 2022 RTL and really enjoy it. I will be 71 this year and would never try a Harley or a Goldwing but the Spyder is perfect for us. We are fairly active and ride bicycles multiple times a week. Great video!
Riding is awesome couples therapy. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👍👍
In 1966 I had my first bike 650 triumph Bonny 16 years old. Had Yamaha Hondas Hogs. ATV Snowmobiles you name it I rode it stopped in my mid Fifties (golf ) jumped back in last year on Spyder RT in May 2023. 20000 KILOMETRES later 4000 during our mild winter in Windsor Canada .At almost 74 it’s like I have my life Back .Ride baby Ride 👨🏻🦳😡🇨🇦🇺🇸👍🏍️. Don’t act your age as some will say .It’s just a number 👨🏻🦳🇨🇦🇺🇸❤️
You inspire me. I hope to keep my fervor for riding..just like you!!!👍👍👍
I have really enjoyed my Ryker for the last three years, but I am ready to get back on two wheels. I like the twist and go of the Ryker without having to worry about a clutch so the Honda Rebel 1100 DCT (automatic transmission) sounds like just the thing for me. I'm getting close to 61 and want to keep enjoying what I have left. Thanks for the positivity, Bob!
What helped me decide was going to the 3 Wheel Can Am motor cycle safety course. Once I did that I knew I could ride it.
My wife and I are 75 years old, living in a smaller city in Arizona, and we just purchased our Spyder RT. So far putting a thousand miles a month on it just site seeing in this part of Arizona. We plan on having it for many years. I took a 2 day 3 wheel safety course that I highly recommend for a beginner. Gives me an insurance discount also.
Getting started at 65 myself. Love your philosophy!
I am guilty of sitting on the fence as I have been watching you for some time now and I have still not taken the plunge. I am 58 years old, semi retired and need something to keep me occupied in full retirement hence the Can Am Spyder might just be the one. There are two things holding me back, one is cost and the other is danger but as you say it's possible to have an accident in any part of life and I believe, if your numbers up their is nothing you can do about it! Many thanks for the advice Coach Bob, I think i am getting there slowly.
Great video and fun to read all the great comments. Ride safe!
Thanks so much... the comments are always so positive and helpful here. BTW... I am loving your channel. I hope it grow and becomes HUGE!!! God Bless...CB3. 👍👍👍
Im 51, have been riding atv and sxs for over a decade, now have a F3T and doing lot of trips and was planning to get a new truck. Thinking twice i decided to keep the old 02 tacoma, add an Outlander atv to the garage and buy the new truck when I can't ride anymore 😂 ride until you die!!
👍👍👍👍
At 77 YO I've ridden on and off for over 60 years. I'm now riding a Spyder F3 and really enjoy it. I recommend Buy the bike and enjoy.
AMEN!!!👍👍👍
You stole my bio, lol.
Thanks for this Coach! Started riding a Spyder at 52, against all the neigh sayers “advice” to act my age. 😂 My wife and I have enjoyed me not taking all the advice and taking a chance on living. Thanks for all you do!
I turned on CZcams this morning, and this video was on the top of the videos. It is time for me to get off the fence and go buy the Can Am of my dreams. Tell Coach Vic hi.
I told her!!! Now...Go get it!! lol 👍👍👍
Totally agree. We all have our reasons to ride. If you want to ride……ride! I too will ride until I absolutely cannot safely do so.
I have been riding 2 wheels for many, many years. This January I found the cause for my chronic knee issues and replacements are in my future. That drove me to make this switch to 3 wheels this week. So far I love my ‘23 Spyder RT Limited and have no regrets.
Ride safe my friend!! I pray all goes well with the knee procedures!!!👍👍👍
CB3, I’ll be 50 this year and never ridden a motorcycle. I really like the Spyder/Ryker bikes and my wife and I are signed up to take our 3 Wheel License Course. I’m really excited about learning and riding one of these machines, and just enjoying life. Thanks for the encouragement to get off the sidelines and into the game. Ride safe .
I predict you will love it! I had never ridden until I was 60. I took the course and it was very helpful and fun.
I was 61 when I got my Spyder, just so much fun to get out riding.
Thank you I’m looking forward to it
@@WolfRyder13 did you purchase a Spyder yet?
I got the 2023 RT Limited.
Just fantastic.
Very easy to use.
I have done lots of city and county driving.
Both with and without passenger.
Very happy with my choice.
Coach Bobs video's have been very helpful.
@@LouisChickakoo no I haven’t yet and thinking about starting with Ryker 900 Sport sine my wife and I are new riders.
"Act your age!" Ah the unmatched wisdom of the effervescent Coach Vic! I love it!! 😂 Carpe diem et veho!
😂👍👍
Yet another great video Coach Bob. You do an awesome job of covering all the topics 👏🏻 I occasionally rode some small trail bikes when I was younger. Never owned a motorcycle of my own, but always had the desire to ride. Then marriage and family happened and my priorities took over. Now in my mid sixties, a good friend (Glen) let me ride his Spyder and it rekindled my desire to ride. After talking with my wife, and a few others I started shopping and found a great deal. Great deals are out there. At 64 I bought a 21 Spyder RT. Did all the stuff to relearn riding. A permit. MSF course in Indiana (Abate). Got my endorsement on my license. In my 1st year rode over 7k miles. We’re looking forward to S. Dakota with 2 other spyder riding couples (Glen, Mike and spouses) this fall. Live your dream, ride safe. Keep up the good work Coach Bob. Enjoy the journey 🙂✝️
You are doing it!!! You are a picture of how life is to be lived. Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍👍👍
I picked up my Spyder Late Sept of 2023.
Never rode before, loving my Spyder.
Already put 7500 KM on it, and that's riding in Canada.😎
When I picked up my Spyder in May 2022, I told my rep I would probably ride it 2500-3000km per season. And he said he would bet a beer I would ride more than that. So, when I took it in for winter storage, I told him he would would have won that bet as I had ridden over 11 000km in my first full season. And I had never ridden any motorcycle before my Spyder. So, last year, guess what happened? When I took into winter storage last November, the odometer read 25 300km!! I am so looking forward to the 2024 riding season! Cheers!
That is cool!!! You're doing it!!!👍👍👍
Definitely ride while you still can. I’m 65 and suffer from r restless leg syndrome. It’s a horrible condition that robs you of sound sleep. I’m so tired during the day that I don’t even drive my truck most of the time. My wife ssys there is no way you’re getting on a Spyder. My heart is broken🥲 so don’t wait, go do it and enjoy yourself.
James, talk to your doctor, they should be able to help you. Also, walking if you can may help. God bless, Rob
@@la_old_salt2241 I have, along with a host of other doctors. I’m currently on medication that works fairly well. Some nights I sleep decent and some only 3 to 4 hours.
It has been fantastic riding weather in NE Florida this week. Today is the best day to ride. You get old when you stop riding. Just keep going.
True, true!!!👍👍👍
I am a female 69 years old and I have a can am spyder 2015 rt limited .. and I enjoy riding my Spyder..
Another very great video well done mate. Chris,Lynia, France
Glad you enjoyed it..thanks for watching. I hope things are going great in France 🇫🇷
Love that philosophy coach. Agree 110%! See you on the road real soon!
Absolutely!!! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!!! 👍👍👍
You are so right. I started riding a year ago for the first time. I was 69 then and am 70 now. I enjoy riding the rural roads where I live. I can't climb mountains anymore, or Kayak down rivers, but I sure enjoy my Spyder RTL.
Well said!!! You are awesome my friend!!!👍👍👍
Coach Bob…. this is a great speech on your part about life… and biting into it every day ! I really enjoy your channel ! Keep going ! Michel
Well said choachbob keep on rolling
👍👍👍
I’m 70. I ride one.
I also have a very understanding wife.
Yes you can, but the best pointer "Take A Course". The Spyder is fun to ride, go out there and live life to the fullest. There is a group of motorcyclist in the UK average age 90yrs young.😎. I'm 72 been riding since 16 and hope to ride till 90+😄😄
You always give great motivation 🏍️ live life while you can.
Thanks for watching. Good Morning. 👍👍👍
Absolutely Couch Bob live life to the best of your ability our time here is short and fleeting.
I always give the biker wave to people riding trikes or Spiders....you never know someones reasoning. The point is they are out there having fun and enjoying the wind, so respect to all of them.
Thanks cb. Love these things- I’m 78 and I want an F3
A wise man once said:
You don't stop riding because you get old...you get old because you stop riding 😉
Amen to that. 👍👍👍
You made my day, thanks Coach Bob
Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍
Hi Coach Bob i own 3 motorcycles and am questioning my ability (at almost 60) to ride on 2 wheels. I'm thinking of selling them all for a Can Am to hopefully prolong my time in the wind. Your words are very insightful thanks for all the great work and keep it coming.
You'll truly enjoy it.
I'm 56. I still owe 2 other motorcycles. And I still ride them. I have an injured knee. Sometimes I feel a little uneasy when need stop. Don't know when that knee will act up. With my F3 Spyder, I don't have to worry about that. And I still get my wind therapy. And I'm loving it.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. I never thought I'd be riding what I ride or as much as I get to. It has been very liberating ....and eye opening.
Good advice as always Coach Bob. Love watching your videos
You're a very wise man Bob!! 👊 Beanie
Hey Brother..It's always great to hear from you. I hope life is treating you kindly.
@@CoachBob3 Thanks Brother I'm hangin in there ... Hope you're doin ok too mate 👍😎🙏🤙
Couldn’t agree more👍
👍👍
Love ya passion
Thank ya!!! 👍👍👍
Good advice
Hey brother!!!👍👍👍
❤
👍👍👍
I would say to the gentleman who is asking the questions since he's never ridden before, to go take a three-wheeler course and see if you enjoy riding in the class. I don't think age has anything to do with whether you're able to or not. Electric skateboard ? I love it! Yes I agree, do things that you are interested in doing because no one is guaranteed tomorrow. No one.
That's very cool about your dad riding... Even after decades of not riding!
Thanks for watching and commenting Jody. You and PSPTG are amazing people.
Coach Bob, you are a fine example of how we should live our lives!
I'm not sitting on the sidelines either! I want to come skiding in hair flying, purple hair flying lol and say wow what a ride! Thank you God! I hope we get to ride with you this year! 💜💜💜🤗🙏
@@CoachBob3we're just regular folks who love to ride and spread cheer when we can! God bless you and Coach Vic!
I'm 70 and riding my 2016 RT every chance I get. Don't have use of my right foot, so I added a handbrake .
To the gentleman asking about is it too late to start riding. Here's the video of my baby riding our Spyder.
Footnote: She's in her mid 60s. Watch til the end for her reaction.
Before we met, she had never even sat on a motorcycle.

Thanks for sharing this 👍👍👍
@@CoachBob3 I thought it might encourage someone.
At 78 was one month on the road on my spyder
age is just a number, as long as your fit enough to ride get out there and ride we have 2 guys in the CMA that are 80 & 81 that are still on two wheels. I'll be 65 on 4/20 (lol smoke em if you got em) and plan on riding until I can hold the bike up anymore.
Absolutely brother...I love seeing the guys in there 80's out there.
Hope you're doing well buddy!!!
Short answer, nope, never too old to ride. Long version, age won't hold you back from anything. Physical ailments will. You gotta take care of that transport device while here. Shocking how we agonize over regular or premium, what oil and filter, the gloves, a jacket, and next helmet, mulling it all while chomping a Whopper at BK. Eat right, have enough AWE in your life to want the next day to come, and go grab that gravity filled wench by the tail and tame it. I recently read in the monthly AMA magazine.."There is no such thing as "lost" time. There is "misspent" time." Don't misspend your time. Go ride if you want. Go travel. Go pursue that pretty girl. (Or guy or dog, or exotic salt water fish). But by all means GO!

I live to ride and ride to live ... you have mentioned in previous videos that riding helps keep you younger, certainly agree it sure does.
Coach, I am 61, retired Air Force. I have only driven a motorcycle once and that was at age 19 during a motorcycle safety course at my first base in 1982/83. I never did buy a bike, but I am ready now. The 3-wheel machine is my cup of tea now. I am in Melbourne, FL and have my 3-wheel endorsement. I am itching to make a purchase, but I want to ask you a few questions. Is there a way I can chat with you directly? Thanks, Dwayne
How long can I expect it to take to get use to the sensitive steering on my 2024 STS compared to the '22 Chieftain I traded in on the Spyder?
I’m 54 and I’m wondering if I’m too old to start riding motocycles. I know I could ride a Spyder, but I’ve always wanted to ride motorcycles. I had even bought a brand new Ducati Monster 900 back in 2001, never rode it, and just sold it a couple of weeks ago for way too low I should have, but I just couldn’t stand the sight of it anymore. But now, it’s spring and I’m getting the bug again, this time I’m thinking Harley Davidson, probably a Street Glide or even a Custom. Maybe a Goldwing, why not? I’m not scared of manoeuvring, getting on the highway, keeping up with the speed of trafic. What I’m a little worried about, is ever since the "popular flu" we’ve had a couple of years ago, I caught it before the injections and got it really bad, it left me with some sequelae like swollen feet and dizziness. Anyway, I’m fed up with all this indecision I’ve been living with all these years. I’m going to give it the ol’ college try, have some fun, and if I can’t make it on a Harley, I’ll go with the Spyder. Thank you for all the wisdom you share here, Coach Bob. Another motorcycle channel I love to watch which I find is a real celebration of freedom, riding and going on adventures is Shadetree Surgeon. He’s a youngish guy, in his early 40s, out of Tampa Florida, he’s been riding since he was in his teens. He’s an advocate of riding whatever your budget is, he’s bought motorcycles for $1000, $2000, old Harley Shovelheads, ‘82 Goldwings, and rode them from the West Coast back to Florida, one time with his niece who just learned to ride! The footage he shot in the desert is trippy. Go watch it for inspiration. Cheers all, and to all who like bike, happy riding!

I love this!!! 👍👍👍We have to get everyone to do this before and after each comment. 😎 Thank ya so much for being here.
Coach bob I’m curious why you don’t make videos while riding your other motorcycles. At one time you said you were going to do videos certain days of the week on two and now nothing. I don’t have a spider and I don’t mind them but would like to see a variety.
Hey coach Bob! I've been looking at motorcycles for a few months now, and I'm thinking about making one my first vehicle. Im looking at some great 2 wheelers, but I think id be more comfortable on 3 wheels. I'm still young (26) and capable, so I'm curious how you feel about starting on a Ryker or Spyder?
For one, I wonder if i should learn on a manual bike, rather than an automatic bike? (both Can am, and Honda's new DCT bikes.)
And I'm hearing a lot of safety tips from biketubers, and one thing i hear about is lack of visibility, and defensive riding. How much more visible is a Spyder than a 2 wheeler? People say red lights are one of the most dangerous places on a bike, and since you can't lane filter, is there more of a chance of gettting rear ended, or do you have sufficient visibility?
Love your vlogs, keep on keepin on!
Every point you make in this comment is spot on. You would do absolutely fine on the Ryker or the Spyder. I would definitely find a ride day at a dealer and check them both out. In my personal opinion I do believe the Spyder/Ryker format is more visible to cars, more forgiving and is somewhat safer.
Now, for the 2 wheeled comments. Bikes are less forgiving, but man are they wonderful. I have four of them and ride them daily. The skills required to have a safer experience on two wheels simply takes longer. But, once you have it...you have it. My son is not particularly talented on a bike, but, when he takes the plunge that's the direction he's taking. He likes the Spyder, but feels he will have a better experience on a 2 wheels.
With all of that said...follow your heart my friend. Thanks for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate you being here. 👍👍👍
@CoachBob3 thank you so much for all the advice! I'll probably change my mind, but right now I think I'm going to get something like a Yamaha TW200 so I can help other people learn on the dirt too.
Hey Bob. Off topic question. Which rain pants are you using?
I am using a BRP/CanAm Rain Suit. I keep on planning to do a review on it. Every time I get caught in the rain I don't have a camera. Here is a link to what I am using.

Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.
@@CoachBob3 thank you sir
I’ve been driving since I’ve been seven and I’m 69 right now
I have a 2010 Harley-Davidson Ultra classic. I have neck and back problems and I'm looking towards neck surgery very soon. My question for you Bob is this. Since you have had Harley-Davidsons before which rides better the Ultra Classic or a Spyder rt?
I’m 73 and have had my lower spine fused so I can empathize with your bad back. This spring I purchased a 2023 Spyder RTL and have about 2000 miles on it. I’ve ridden a 2018 Road King the last 5 years. It has an upgraded suspension with Legend shocks on the rear. The front end is stock. The Legend shocks were a big improvement over the stock shocks. Even with the Legend shocks, there is no comparison. The Spyder’s ride is a huge improvement. It has a great suspension and when you combine that suspension with tires that have 20 pounds of pressure in the front and 30 pounds pressure in the rear, you get a pretty good ride. The biggest issue for me was getting used to being on a trike and how hard it is now to miss road kill in the middle of the lane!😏
I would suggest riding both. It is definitely a huge financial decision. That said... When Vic and I rode a variety of trikes. She felt that the Spyder was the most gentle on her body. I would tend to agree with that. After 30,000+ miles on a Spyder I still enjoy the experience for hours on end.
@CoachBob3 OK, thank you. Now I will never be able to afford a new one. So, I will be looking at the used market. What year are the ones to avoid and should I get an old v-twin? Or should I get the 3 cylinder RT?
The difference I’ve done is went down on sizes of motorcycle I’ve been driving at 69
Act my age? I've never been this age before so how do I know how to act? 😀
First comment.
AWESOME!!! 👍👍👍
My thumbs may be fat, but they're not old! 🤌👍👍
