Over 50+ years riding motorcycles and medical problems I bought a Spyder 3 years ago and still do not like the ride. Many things have been tried, tire air pressure, better stability bar and 1000s miles of trying. I do like the Spyder-looks- stability -power-braking and seating but it is time to try something else. I am seriously thinking about the Slingshot for this spring. Most of the complaints about the slingshot seem to be about the open cockpit. wind, noise, rain-not a problem if it is a motorcycle. I see a lot a people working on their Slingshot and many aftermarket items. My first visit to the dealer was to see if I could get in and out-I could. Anyone else go from a Spyder to a Slingshot? thanks Jim
