Добавлен 2 дек 2015
My RUclips journey began in October 2021.
I currently ride a 2022 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited, and I also tow a 2021 Mini-Mate pop-up motorcycle camper made by Kompact Kamp.
As of October 2022, I decided to add a 2-wheeler back into my garage, just for the fun of it. I chose a retro classic 2022 Royal Enfield INT650 (Interceptor), the style of bike I learned to ride on back in 1975.
As of December 2023, for more fun, I brought home a 2022 CFMoto 650 ADVentura, just a retirement gift to myself.
There will always be so much to learn, people to meet, friendships to find, and places to see. Take care !!

E-Bike Ride to Niagara Falls and a CRASH on my way home
On a beautiful warm October day, I rode my Wildeway FW11 e-bike to Niagara Falls. Unfortunately on my way home, I almost collided head-on with another e-bike rider who was looking down (perhaps at his phone), but I hit the curb and crashed on to the sidewalk. My camera was NOT recording during the crash, but I turned the camera on to talk about it right after the crash. I ended up with scrapes and bruises, nothing serious. The bike has some scratches, and luckily my phone and camera, that were mounted on the handlebars, were not damaged.

On June 12th (2024), on a back country road in Western Pennsylvania, I hit a young deer on my Can-Am Spyder RT.

How OLD Are Your Tires? How To Find Tire BIRTH DATE.

All tires have a birth date showing on at least one (1) of the tire sidewalls. It can be found at the end of the DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN), also called the Tire Serial Number. Tire Manufacturers recommend that you should replace tires when they reach 6 years old (if you haven't worn out the tires). I also would like to thank Eric, of Kraken's Garage and Adventures and I pay tribute t...

I bet that doesn't happen often by my last ride this year I was behind my ridding buddy on his 2 month old CAN AM SPYDER RT when he it a deer that ran out in front of him. He was shook up but had no damage and no injuries to himself. God was watching over him much like he was watching out for you.
@jimeckenrode1271 Never ride faster than your guardian angel 😁👍
Thanks for the great story just got my f3 so I will have to check this out. I’m in Columbus Ohio
@sheshe4460 That story fell into my lap when I was editing the footage of my Triple Nickel ride, and I was researching the history of how that highway became so popular for motorcycle riding, and after reading Ken's story, I just had to use that story for this vudeo. Thank you so much for your comment, and congratulations on acquiring an F3. I hope your Spyder brings you many years and miles and miles of smiles 👊😎👍
You crashed, And he Kept going?? Not cool man!! I’m So glad this wasn’t worse, but I bet you were sore for awhile!! Merry Christmas Wayne!!
@@Motoramblings i was sore for about a month, but, good as new... for an old guy 😉🤣 Have a joyous Christmas, Patrick 🎄🎅
Beautiful water, and waterfall! I may have heard of that one once upon a time…
@@Motoramblings If you ever get up here, bring your passport, the view from the Canadian side is spectacular 🤩
@ I have heard! I need to get me one of those passport thingys…..
@Motoramblings For $30, you can get the passport card (same size as driver's lic), good for 10 yrs, for land border crossings for Canada and Mexico, and good for domestic flights within the U.S. You can get it at many offices where you used to work 😄👍
@ I have known that for some time now, I’ve just been too lazy to actually make it happen…..
I hope you have healed from you bike crash. I was thinking you might like to peruse a couple of you tubers that I watch. One is in your area, called Spyder Chris, and the other travels with. a mini mate like yourself, called old guy. on a bike. Take care and Merry Christmas!
@stanweaver Yes, all healed good as new. I do follow Chris's and Jim's channels. I've mentioned Jim many times in my videos, as he is the reason I bought my Mini Mate 4 years ago. Jim is the ultimate Mini Mate Man !!! 😁👍
Hey Spyder Wayne, I just purchased a 23 RT limited and a mini mate camper. I weighed it empty with spare tire and got a total weight of 345 lbs. I have pretty much the same equipment that you have and come up with a total weight of 540 lbs. Do you think the Spyder can handle that much weight? I’m planning a cross country trip in July.
@cecildorriety2522 An empty Mini Mate weighs 260 lbs with no accessories. I got the Mini Mate Deluxe, which weighs 280 lbs empty. You say your empty Mini Mate weighs 345 lbs ??? If yours is a new Mini Mate, I would contact Sheldon at Kompact Kamp and ask him why it weighs that much. If it's a used one, what the heck has been done to it to weigh that much? As for the 540 lb question, I wouldn't feel safe towing that much, but it's your choice. BRP rates the Spyder's towing capacity at 400 lbs.
How tall, much you weigh if you dont mind
5'11" and 200#
Oh my! He didn’t even stop? Glad you’re not seriously hurt. Gear is good.
@@peppermyntpatti144 I was lucky, a few scrapes and bruises, needed a new helmet and sunglasses, but no damage to the bike, or camera, or phone (both the camera & phone were mounted on the handlebars). Thanks, Patti 😁👌
Cool discovery. 😊 I have an e-bike but you’re a lot better at riding yours. I had the seat lowered and handlebars adjusted. Hopefully next spring I’ll improve. I crashed once. Just over a curb into a yard. Of course the owner was in her yard. Oh! And thanks to you & your videos I have a Mini Mate arriving Monday! Really excited about THAT! Winter now in MI and I’ll have to adventure through RUclips. 103 days until spring! 💕
@peppermyntpatti144 Woohoo 🤸♂️😁 congratulations, Patti 👏🥂 I'm sure you're going to love your Mini Mate, I had heard this news from Jody 😁👍👍
@ ❤️ that girl!
Hi.. How did you solve the trim sound on the front of the motorcycle? or did you not have such a problem?
@UnrulyParsley I haven't had a problem, and I didn't know there was a problem, I need to research that problem. 👍
Any dealer is a rip off.
@jimeckenrode1271 Some are, but not all, thankfully 😁👍
Sorry for the crash, i had been through crashes with other ebikes so i know how hurt it was. Please get better helmet, and full gloves and some knee pads . Ebikes injury is very similar to motorcycle when crash. No joke. Best wishes from Florida. Please take care.
Good advice, thank you 😁👍
Great review, i have FW11S and pretty much same reasons why you bought it! Can not beat how it fit inside backseat of a car! I have over 1000 miles , it is amazing ebike. Thanks for sharing
I luv my e-bike 😁👍
I finally got my trunk lid shock in from sling mods. Your video came in handy and made the install very easy. Thank you!
Good stuff, thanks Stan 😁👍
The 2025s have redesigned keys with guess what? 😊 Its great that they FINALLY did something about this but in my opinion that key needs to go the way of the dinosaurs please allow me to explain. "What if" you lose your key on a trip and you didn't bring your spare? Here you are 500 miles from home in the middle of nowhere Alabama where the locals have never even seen a Spyder before. Most bike manufacturers using keyless start have a procedure to start your bike WITHOUT the key my 22 GW does and I know for a fact the newer Indians and HDs do. C'mon Brp elevate your game and when your done fixing that can we talk about shaft drives on ALL models and doing away with that corny startup procedure? Thanks for the post kind sir. 😊
@dimitrispratling4785 Yeah, I always travel with a spare key... just in case. But I agree, the Spyders are long overdue for a FOB 😅👌
Thanks Spyder Wayne. Looks like a piece of cake install. Stay well.
Yep, this one was super easy 👍
I just watched your video with the Bouge RV 30 qt cooler. I’m not sure if you’re still using it but if you are what power station do you power it with? Do you hook it up to your bike while traveling? If so, what would the process be? Sorry for all the questions….
@peppermyntpatti144 I don't mind the questions at all. My power station is an Ecoflow River Pro. Today's version is the Ecoflow River 2 Pro. Now, when I'm riding and towing the camper, I use a small CPAP battery that fits in a pouch on the fridge/cooler cover (and yes I'm still using and loving my BougeRV fridge/cooler). Some camper owners have been able to connect the cooler to power on their bikes or connect to power on their trailers. I just use a small CPAP battery, it's tucked into the cooler cover, and it lasts about 10 to 12 hours, so pretty much all day. This little battery is an Easylonger ES400 CPAP battery. I hope this all makes sense. If you have more questions, you can email me at: "wayne.spyderwayne@gmail.com"
You faired much better than I did, I didn't have a single faring left on the front half of the bike, hood and mirrors gone too, laptop that was in the frunk was also mangled. Looks like you had time to brake, I caught mine at full highway speed.
@seancunningham1195 There were a few lucky things that went my way, I was only going about 45 mph when I hit the brakes, so I did slow down a little, the deer was moving across but away from me and not towards me, it was a small young deer, and I happened to hit the meaty part of its rear hip, and it bounced straight up. And when I stopped and looked, I was absolutely shocked that it didn't damage my Spyder 😖😳😁
@seancunningham1195 Deer can do significant damage. My son's car was totaled in a collision with a full grown deer a few months before I hit this deer.
DO NOT BUY THIS EBIKE ! I bought this ebike based on some reviews. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed with both: the ebike and the company. the design is really slick and this product might be great if it is working. Unfortunately, my ebike came with a defect. The left pedal does not align, making my foot slip out. Initially I was sent new pedals, then crank arm for replacement. Despite replacing, it did not fix the problem. I requested an exchange and the seller/vendor kept asking for images, videos, suggesting sending ebike to the bike shop etc. I waited 2 weeks for the replacement parts. Finally, when I decided to return it and asked for a refund, AMAZON 30-day return window has ended. At some point the PEDAL ASSIS stopped working, then after few days it worked again. The steel cargo rack is already rusting after one month. I reported all the problems but the vendor kept sending all kind of wired requests delaying the return. It seems like they did everything possible not to allow me to send this ebike back. Weirdly, on Amazon this ebike is sold for $650 + $200 shipping. On their website, you can buy one directly for $850 - super wired policy. They asked to send the bike only if it has no more than 10 miles, and obviously testing it after the pert replacement would take more than 10 miles riding all together. I ended up with the defective ebike and short of around $900. IT seems the bike has a defective crank shaft, but so far no replacement parts for that. Still negotiating with the vendor and it is super frustrating talking to people who pretend to be helpful, but they are doing everything possible to get rid of the customer. Asking the same questions over and over again. If you are looking for peace of mind, I recommend going with a different product. Especially if your bike will have any issues. Do not trust reviewers, as they only care to make a commission on your purchase and will not tell you anything negative (or true). WILDEWAY is certainly not the brand to go with :-(
Got to be careful at our young age Wayne
@paulmichaud9499 Haha, young is just a frame of mind for us old farts 😁👍
Despite the bruising and pain I am glad you’re doing well. Sending you love and healing vibes. Cheers amigo
I appreciate it, Eddie, thanks 😁👍
Wow 😮 I can’t believe the guy didn’t stop !
Yeah, he missed an opportunity to be a co-star in this video 😡😅
Geez, Wayne… can’t believe that he just kept going!
@HarleyThrottleJuice This happened right by Niagara University, so I'm just going to assume he was late for his political science class and didn't want a blemish on his politician career 😳😅😅 Thanks, Roger 😁👍
Incredible to be able to get so close to that huge waterfall!
Both the Canadian & American side have a spot at each end of the Horseshoe Falls, where you're within a few feet of the falls with a view down to the bottom of the gorge. The view on the Canadian side is best, and way more crowded, but both sides are spectacular 😁👌
Oh dear me Wayne, I am so sorry to hear this, I am glad you wear a helmet, so many do not on those bikes. Geesh what a guy, not watching what he was doing, or where he was going. LOVE the video, the falls are amazing!!
@HarleyGurl114 I'm glad I always worn bicycle helmets, it definitely saved my noggin. Thanks Gloria 😁👍
So sorry that this happened, Wayne. Up until that point it was a perfect day and you captured awesome video. Shame on that distracted guy!
@miriambryant1896 It was a great day, and I'm lucky to have wonderful biking trails to some awesome places in my area. It's been almost 2 weeks and the healing went well. Luckily, no broken bones. Thanks, Miriam 😁👍
Sorry to hear/see bike accident. Even if the other bike was not at fault they should have stopped and checked on you. Hope you are well. Hopefully, we'll meet some day and talk sypder.
I'm doing well, thankfully no broken bones. It's always a pleasure to meet fellow Spyder riders 😁👍
Sorry about your crash Wayne.Hope you're okay .

Hello my friend, I am sorry that you crashed your bike.
@RWKSD1 Nothing serious, had to replace helmet, sunglasses, and pants. Sore for about a week, but all is well, thanks 😁👍
Glad you are ok, Wayne. The other person didn't even stop?
@RoysMotoVentures No, he didn't stop, which tells me he either doesn't or shouldn't ride motorcycles. Another couple riding by, who also ride motorcycles, did stop to make sure I was ok. Thanks, Roy 😁👍
damn thats alot of damage. I hope you're ok and will recover quick.
@BlackphoenixEntertainment Sore for about a week, but all is well, thanks 😁👍
Hidy Wayne, I'm real glad to see you've recovered enough get back on the ebike... Thanks for the amazing fall scenery! Beautiful!!! Keep 'em coming...
@@hawgryder51 Haven't been on the e-bike yet, but today looks promising. Thanks, Martin 😁👍
Wow, Wayne, I'm so glad you weren't hurt worse. I recently had a mishap on the motorcycle and you are correct, the adrenalin got me home but the following weeks with a cracked rib and bruised chest was not good! Godspeed on your recovery.
Cracked ribs, ouch. I was just bruised, so I got lucky. I was just sore for a few days. Thank you so much 😁👍
Now we get to witness three-wheel crashes and two wheel crashes. Hopefully you're feeling better it looks awful on the video. It looks like an emergency room visit is needed. Take care of Wayne stop doing crash videos LOL..
@HetteshWorld I hope this is my last crash. This is my 3rd. So, they say bad things happen in 3's. Therefore, I now must be done. 😁 And no E.R. visit was needed. I have some fresh new pink skin and just a few scabs left 😂
Poor way to end a beautiful ride. So glad you’re ok, considering. At our age, we don’t bounce back as easy as we used to buddy. Might have to go to a full face helmet riding the e-bike.
@602North I like the new Shoei Neotec 3 ... but it costs more than my e-bike... 😳 ... so I just got another bicycle helmet. I gotta protect one of my most valuable assets... my hair 😂🤣👍 Thanks, RJ
Holy jeez Wayne man ..thats madness. Good thing you had a helmet on, it could have been much worse for sure .Obviously you're a pretty tough dude . Speedy recovery, my friend .
@TRyanLearnBikes Tough, who me? Haha, it was all I could do not to cry like a baby and call my son to come get me... but then I turned on the camera, so I had no choice but to suck it up 😫😖☺️👍
@SpyderWayne Ha ha now thats pretty funny Wayne. Ya didn't lose your sense of humor, so that's a good thing
A beautiful ride on a beautiful day. That other rider, what a jerk! Glad you're ok Wayne, my goodness!
Yeah, he took off like a rocket. But, all's well that ends well, and I'd like to say I'm done crashing... a cement pole with my 1st Spyder, a deer with my current Spyder, and a cement wall and sidewalk with my e-bike.. so if bad things come in 3's, then I'm now done... I hope... Thanks, Richard 😁👍
@SpyderWayne yes, basta! As we say in Italian! Cheers Wayne
From the thumbnail pic, you look like a tough mobster from the movies, and I would have hated to see what the other guy looked like. 🥊 Seriously though, I'm glad you are ok and were wearing a helmet. Most people don't when riding ebikes, it seems. So cool to be able to ride it from your home to the falls, too.
Haha, ... yeah, you should see the other guy, he was built like a cement wall, and I accidently left my DNA on him 😳😂 Thanks, Scott 😁👍
This "28 mph class 3 e-bike" goes 31 to 32 mph, shhhh 😉 ... and I have a fondness for my head. I ordered and received the helmet before the bike first arrived, and I've already received a new replacement helmet, which I hope will not need to be replaced 😅👍
Mention was made of getting some additional lighting up higher due to a trailer, yet when you separated the harness under the passenger seat I did not notice a wiring harness for trailer lights. My question is, do the installation instructions make mention of what to do if you have a previously installed trailer harness in the location of where the top case lights are supposed to plug in? In other words is there room to tuck away both a top case lights harness and a trailer harness?
@robertlarrabee9115 No, the instructions don't mention what you're asking about. On my first 2020 Spyder (4 yrs ago), I installed my trailer light harness myself at the back under the trunk where the Spyder tail lights are. On my current Spyder, I had the dealer install the OEM harness for my trailer, from BRP, and I'm not sure where they installed that harness, but it wasn't where these tour pack lights were connected as shown in this video (under the rear passenger seat). There was still a little bit of room where I stuffed the plug n play connector under the rear passenger seat, so I believe there is room for it, but I'm not 100% certain depending on the size of the trailer light splitter harness.
@@SpyderWayneOk-my trailer hitch and harness came from Pierre up in Quebec. The trailer light harness is plug n play and goes in the exact same location as the top case harness you used. I could wire myself but plug n play makes things soooo easy and as I get older I’m getting lazier!
@robertlarrabee9115 Here's what I suggest if you're interested in these lights, which I love these lights by the way, call Slingmods, and tell them about your harness for the trailer, and one of their guys who is familiar with installing these lights can give you an expert opinion. I think you can daisy chain this harness to your trailer harness I've called them for some other issues in the past, and they're super helpful over the phone.
Beautiful scenery of the Falls, Wayne. Geez I'm sorry to hear about your crash, thats awful that the guy didnt stop. I guess even on a bike that could still be considered a hit and run. Hope you heal up quickly.
Yeah, healing up fine. When I was on the ground looking back at him, he was in a BIG hurry to leave, sheesh. 😁👍
Hope you are ok Wayne.. sorry about your accident. Here’s to a quick recovery! ❤
Everything is healing up fine. Thank you for your kind words, Damon 😁👍
Thx for sharing. Nice job on the transitions and titles. Too bad the camera wasn’t rolling and glad you’re basically okay.
Yeah, turned off the camera about a 1/2 mile too soon. And thank you for noticing the timing of transitions, Richard 😁👍
Holy smokes! Sorry that happened to you. Some people..... 😕
Yep, he was gone in a flash, what a guy. Thanks, Rusty 😁👍
And the person who wasn't paying attention just went on by. Don't wish to be him because God sees all things. So glad you are ok.
Well, since he had no interest in stopping or helping, that does say something about his character. Thank you for your thoughts 🙏😁👍
Wow. So sorry to hear about the crash. That was some big impact to destroy your helmet like that. So glad it did its job and glad you survived.
Yeah, the helmet did its job. Helmet, sunglasses, and cargo pants destroyed, but I've already replaced all 3. The scrapes are healing. A few scratches on the bike, nothng serios, and nothing broken, including my bones, so a very good lesson learned with a good outcome. Thanks, Stan 😁👍
Yikes! So sorry to hear about this. Glad you’re ok. Bad event on a perfect day.
Scrapes and bruises only nothing broken... bones, bike, phone, camera... phewww!! Thanks, Chris 😁👍
