My ride lasted six days and I did 1900 kms on the Spyder. It finished on 1st March 2010 with no incidents or damage to the vehicle. A comprehensive review of the machine will be coming up soon along with a couple of magazine articles on the horizon. I suggest you subscribe to the RSS feed of this website to enable you to be informed when these updates come out.
You may also wish to follow me on my new personal website at motoGrapher.com and keep yourself updated of my photography and new travels. Who knows I might be in your neck of the woods sometime in the future!
So here goes, the best of the Spyder ride in pictures:

Today I decided to take one of the pretty and quiet backroads from Taree to Armidale via the Comboyne - Killabakh Road. The road was very pretty, narrow and felt like riding through a Jurassic park.

Ever since the first photos of the Spyder made its way on to thousands of hard core motorcyclists' screens in Dec 2006, it has been an epicenter of many discussions deciding if it could satiate the needs of a true blue two-wheeler motorcyclist.
The only three wheelers I have been in are the Bajaj auto rickshaws that run amock and aplenty →
