My Ryker is a dedication to my Army brother Desmond Hill. Unfortunately, he lost the battle to PTSD demons and suicided in 2017. I plan to revisit his grave just outside of Flagstaff, AZ. The idea that I would ride a motorcycle would blow his mind, I'm going to take the trip for Dez aka Rico Six. May he rest in peace😇. Love the channel, I'm betting you go Spyder based on your words. Thank you for your time. Shaka🏁
Hi Shaka, I’m Retired Military and I also suffer from PTSD. My heart goes out to you and my Brother in Arms Desmond. I also own a Ryker. It brings me much peace. Good luck on your trip to Flagstaff.
Just completed my ultimate Ryker road trip. I drove 1800 miles and toured the Gaspe Penisula in Quebec. Beautiful ocean scenery with small fishing villages, pristine beaches and the infamous Percé Rock. Anyone on the east coast can easily reach it. It’s about 8 hours east of Montreal and lots of places to stay and eat. Although word to wise, Ryker’s get thirsty the faster your ride. Take it easy, enjoy the scenery and save a bit of fuel on the process. I’m looking forward to seeing your new ride!
You're making me jealous! That trip sounds incredible, props to you for just going out, hitting the road, and making amazing memories. I'm copying this down into my notes, because exploring Quebec is actually pretty high on my list of things I want to do (on or off a motorcycle). And if your Ryker gets a litttle thristy, you just gotta it drink! Thanks for sharing that!
A Ryker makes such PERFECT sense for the first time bike buyer. On its own the Ryker is a great first bike or forever bike. But here's the thing .. riding a bike demands SO many skills, dare say 'hundreds'. Ryker removes the anxiety connected to keeping the bike upright at low speed, and has a 'car like' feeling when it comes to steering. It's a great forever bike AND a great transitional bike. What a beauty!
i bought my ryker about 2 months ago with the intent to drive it to work and home. 87 miles one way. i have drove it many times to work but after watching many of your videos i do know i need a better seat and there are a few mods i'll be buying since watching your videos. thank you for your time and info on these awesome little bikes.
Sad to see the Ryker sold, but happy the channel will continue on. Personally, the trip I want to take most with my Ryker is driving Route 66. You're driving basically across the country, so you get to see all the different landscapes the US has to offer as well as stopping for some of the classic roadside attractions along the way. It would be a once in a lifetime experience.
I'm so happy to have discovered this for the 1st time! I really enjoy listening to your commentary regarding your experiences with the Ryker. It's very similar to my own. Like you I wish there was a better luggage system and a better way to do those exclusive trips. I must agree with you as I have a 2019' Rally which I purchased in 2020 with only 400 miles on it! I find credence in & have felt everything that you're saying with my own experience. How I've had to come up with my own "modifications" so to speak . I've driven to Sturgis 700mi but would LOVE to do the Tail of the Dragon & drive straight down the Florida Keys! Thanks Khalil😉
Glad you were able to find the commonalities between our experiences with the Ryker. It's inspiring hearing about your trip to Sturgis. I plan on starting small (150-250 mile trips) but also would like to get out further as I get more into touring. Thanks for sharing!
It's something about riding a Ryker. It feels like I'm more Intune with nature then being in a vehicle. I would definitely take a cross country trip visiting every state!
I’d drive to Corpus Christi I’m in San Antonio. Ain’t nothing better than being near the water. I appreciate the videos especially this one. I own a Ryker and have been thinking of these exact things. I’m going to keep mine but won’t be spending as much as I planned to on upgrades. You made great points. Thank you.
I live in Rhode Island. My ultimate Ryker road trip as of now would be touring New Hampshire Vermont and Maine and eventually will be. That's on my bucket list. I'm guessing you purchased an F3. Good luck with your purchase!Thanks for your videos. I found your RUclips channel when I was researching buying one of these and watching your videos was definitely a deciding factor in this journey of ownership. I'm loving my 2021 Rally, it's been a blast.
I had the thought that I'd really only ride around town when I got a Ryker but now I'm thinking I want to do longer distances. Even with a comfort seat on it, I think it needs some more modifications to make it really suitable for long distances. Getting an F4 Customs windshield certainly helped. I may look into an F3 even though I've put lights and exhaust on my Ryker.
I've watched all of your videos. I had a cousin who was from Florida and he rode a motorcycle. It's funny that his reason for getting rid of his bike was the same as yours, especially after he was relocated to Atlanta with his job. He said it wasn't fun riding anymore. I live in Vegas and it's great riding weather year round. I've been approved for a 2023 Ryker Rally. I've owned 2 wheel bikes, but 3 years ago I fell 20 feet from a ladder and fractured my spine. 3 major surgeries and complications later, I'm about to be released from Dr.'s care but, still considered disabled. So, no more holding a 2 wheel up. I'm looking forward to riding from Vegas to Alabama to visit my Son and Granddaughters. That is definitely where I plan on going. I can see you going Spyder F3 Limited. Plenty of room and storage for you and the wife, more comfort and not overtly more in price than Ryker. Hope you don't stop creating content. GOD Bless Bro 💖
Thank you man 🙏🏾 didn’t realize how much the ATL move would impact my riding. luckily I live a decent bit outside of town so I’m going to start pushing myself to explore more backroads and small towns. Riding in Vegas was some of my favorite riding I’ve ever done. Colder at night than I was expecting in late winter though. I hope you get to get out and ride again soon. Wishing you a strong recovery!
I have a Ryker 600 and a Sling shot R. When you are dealing with engine oil spills, gravel and sand on the road, it make good sense to have 3 wheelers. I have a safety suggestion to you about 3 wheelers that if you purchase Holly Davidson trike, you will not be able to have fun due to 1 wheel in the front set up. All G-Forces are pushing to the front, straight forward, right/forward and left/forward ,therefore your HD Trike could have stability broblem. I would wait until 2023 and look for other options like all new Ryker w/cruise control and all new Spider. Or get a Slingshot, save some money (if you get Slingshot, you have to get this option no matter what that is HEATED AND VENTILATED SEAT for both seats. Good luck! Road Killer.
I’ll be honest, I would never purchase a Harley trike. Two in the back just isn’t as great of a design, I’d be more likely to just buy a Harley as I ride 2 wheelers as well. Slingshots are cool though.
I ordered my Ryker last week and now I’m waiting and I’m so excited! If I was going on a road trip with the girlfriend, I would love to see the Smoky Mountains from my bike.
Congratulations on your next purchase! You’ll enjoy your Spyder. I have a 2021 F-3S and love it. Been ridding my whole life. My 1st bike was a Chushman Scooter backin the 60’s!
I sold my ryker as well and started this channel ... to continue my love for the community ... not going to lie the ryker/spyder community are dope individuals 💯
It all makes perfect sense for you Khalil! Happy to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your Ryker over the past few years, and thank you for sharing your experience over that time (as it definitely inspired my purchase). Looking forward to your future adventures & your next vehicle! As per road trip destinations, I would love to go cross country to Seattle, or California or head eastward to in Canada to the province of Quebec. Thanks again for sharing your stories.
Love your vids man. I live in the north Atlanta suburbs and love the riding around here, especially in the mountains. My ultimate road trip would be a solo camping trip to smoky mountains.
It sounds like you ended up with a Spyder or a goldwing, either way congrats on the new purchase. I have a few friends and we bought the 4 Ryker's at the same time. When we first got them, we would ride out all over from Las Olas to Miami beach. The one thing we never got to do was a proper road trip. Now I'm still down here in south Florida while 2 others went north. One moved to Orlando and the other to Jacksonville. Now I ride solo just to get out of the house and get that feeling you know what I am talking about. Words can't explain. My plan would be to take a road trip to link up with my boys in Orlando and Jacksonville and make an adventure out of it. I still have one of my boys down here and he and I plan to hit the keys for a mini road trip soon.
I'm a new Ryker Sport owner. I've taken several short trips but my very first long trip will be from Baton Rouge, La to Tulsa, Ok (600 miles). Your channel and others like it are getting me prepared.
I would go to South Carolina. I haven't gotten my bike yet but all of your information has been a great deal of help. Thank you for all your information. I don't expect to get anything but I wanted to tell you that your videos have helped. Bless you, sir.
Khalil, great job, I've followed you for a long time. You're voice is very soothing. Looking forward to the next chapter and what doors it opens for you..... To answer your question, I would take a nice long trip from Arizona to Wisconsin to catch up with long lost friends.
GL with your next ryde. Been following you since the beginning and replied on how I use my Spyder as my main vehicle, commuting year round from Cobb into downtown Atlanta. Would ride my Ryker from Atlanta to Chicago during the fall. Less traffic, less crowded on the roads, and better weather than summertime.
3 wheels looks to me like a great option at my age. This video makes me think I need more money because now I'm leaning towards a spider for my wife and I. But now I also need a rally for solo fun.
Hay! I'm Chris and I really like your excellent spoken English and your general intelligence. I'm going to follow you from this point forward. P.s. I'm on a 14 rt limited.
Khalil, you have a presentation style that is absolutely wonderful. Informative. Insightful. Excellent delivery. What exactly do you do professionally? Enjoy the new ride, and I'm glad that the name you chose for your channel is capable of surviving a mere model change!
Thank you for the kind words! I actually work in IT. And I'm also glad I picked the name I did. I thought about it back then because I knew this day may have come sooner or later.
@@3WheelKhalil, no wonder I got a good vibe from you. I work in IT as well, and it’s a field where you work hard to have non-technical people understand complex issues, and so delivery is key! Secondly, I’m always happy to see another brother doing his thing in this field!
It is time to graduate to the "Big Brothers... a Can Am F-3 or RT bike. I have a 2015 RTS with 50k miles on it. It is still going strong, plenty of lights, RAM mounts for iPad, Radar detector, drink holder and Bike Cam (front and rear).
Another awesome video man! Love all the info you put out there and your videos have been a huge help to me as a new Ryker owner. And I’ll continue to watch your channel to see what you have in store for your new purchase! Congrats on the move man! GA is beautiful, my mom lives there about an hour or so from ATL. My road trip would definitely be to Florida, I can’t wait to ride down there and see the ocean beside me and feel the breeze! That will definitely be my first long road trip on my Ryker and will hopefully be doing it soon!
Thanks for the kind words! I think a lot of stuff will still be relevant and I do plan on continuing to cover new Ryker stuff maybe even get another one at some point. That trip to FL would be awesome, make sure you take as many roads down by the water as possible!
Looking forward to seeing what your riding now. I started watching your vids when I was shopping around for a ryker. I ended up getting an f3S. I use it to commute (almost 100 miles a day) to save a few miles on my truck. I love it so much! Like…maybe an unhealthy amount of love😅 I ride around some beautiful areas, I’m considering making vids too, since I don’t find many female spyder riders. Anyway, enjoyed the content Bro!
Atlanta traffic is pretty harsh. Rush hour often moves slow enough and the people are generally pretty nice about letting you in. We have a lot of slow pokes in the morning that need to be blown away by a ryker in 5 am traffic
Thanks Khalil, I have a 2021 Rally, love it but I see all your points about comfort, lack of power steering, etc., planning to order a Spyder F3S for the spring, I look forward to seeing what you purchase , I follow you on Instagram as well, i really enjoy your channel, your content, and wish you well, your calm and thoughtful approach to your videos is great! Thanks Mike Canada
I’ve only had it for about 3 months it’s amazing to drive but better with friends,and all your reasons are great especially the storage so next year I’m thinking about getting a spyder. And if I was gonna take a road trip it would shirt and sweet and beautiful I live in New Orleans so I would go to orange Alabama
Good for you with wanting something more suitable. Since taking my class back in July I've always wanted and still do want a spider but I was going to settle for a Ryker just to save a few bucks and get more riding miles in considering it'll be my 1st time ever owning a motorcycle and now the longer it's taking me to purchase the Ryker I'm leaning back towards my original plan and that's to buy a spider 🕷
@@3WheelKhalil true that. Looking forward to seeing what you'll be riding next. Continue providing those videos and always be safe out there my brother
Happy riding. I use my Ryker 600 just to get around town. thirty minutes is the farthest I go so far. I use a net and a backpack for grocery shopping. I would go visit my sons in different states one in Missouri one in Texas and one in Louisianna
Hope all goes well with your new ride!!! I travel from MN to WI every other weekend to spend time with my girlfriend and I understand the need for luggage. I have a Ryker myself and driving 2 1/2 hrs from point A to point B with very limited storage is very inconvenient. I was looking into getting storage, my only issue is the cost for such storage. Congrats to who gets it and congrats to you for your new purchase!!!
Thank you, yeah once you start adding the little upgrades up it can really start to be sizable. That’s dope that you do that trip so regularly though. Stay safe out there!
Nice vid as usual, thanks for sharing! I'm excited to get a Ryker. Hopefully I'll have one by the end of this year. Looking to get the 900 but will be far from disappointed if I end up with the 600, which I still had a blast with when I rented one. Can't wait to see the vids on your new Spyder! 😁
Hi, I also love my 2019 Ryker. It’s my fun vehicle during weekends. I would love to inherit your storage kit 😉 I have been looking for options for a 1- or 2-night trip as I venture further from my town (San Antonio, TX). Eventually I would love to ride to the Smoky Mountains. By the way, love your relaxing thoughtful voice. Thanks and hope you continue to contribute to this community ☺️
I did things the opposite of you. I bought a new spyder in 2018 but missed the "fun factor" of a smaller bike. 3 years later I bought a Ryker and got my wish! Not too worried about long cruises or comfort - that is what the Spyder is for. I thought eventually I would get rid of one but I don't see that happening soon! They both have their advantages and really one could never give you the same thing that the other one does. So I have the best of both worlds (until my insurance bill comes due!)
Just came across your channel and really enjoy it. My wife and I both have a 2021 900 ACE and love them. Our dream road trip would be to take the Rykers from NC to the FL Keys. Man that would be an awesome trip.
I've had my 2021 rally for a year now and I still love it. I love doing my own touches to it. I didn't buy it for long travel rides but I would take it San Francisco and Bay area and up to Reno.
WHY ? I so enjoy my Ryker, I have Motorcycles( 883, 2 Hondas Goldwing and a shadow . But my “ Ryk” is so awesome to take lazy Sunday rides with my best friend on this planet My Wife. I’m so glad you enjoyed it God bless you and more power to you… what’s next brah?
I would chase the place the wind comes from spend that time on the road when it's just you inside that helmet and you face yourself and try to find that guy and don't give up your search for that ride of perfection you spend a lot of time on vids and home and work don't ever give up the knees in the breeze my brother
Thanks for sharing your update. Just looked at some of the models and focusing on the Spyder RT Limited for many of the reasons you mentioned. Good luck with your decision on what’s next.
Another great video bro! When I was doing my research to buy a ryker a year or so ago, you definitely was one of my go to channels. You also inspired me to start a channel since I'm now a Ryker Rally owner since March of this year. If I were to win I would take a trip to my favorite vacation state Florida stopping through Georgia to thank you and grab a lil footage for our channels. Thanks and keep up the Great work 💪🏾
Great video and great content, I have the LinQ top case and the Linq base I’m almost there but if I had to travel it would be to the great smoky mountains
After 2 years with mine, I can't agree more! Upgrading is definitely on my road map in a couple years. The Ryker is my first bike and I couldn't be happier. I'd love to take the trip through the mountains of PA and Virginia to NC where my Mom and sister are. I'd need some rest stops...no premium seat for my bottom yet but my wife has one on the back!! Thanks for all yout input! I found your channel right before I got mine!
Another great video, your videos helped my wife and me to pull the trigger last year on our 2021 600’s. Road trip wise, for the storage definitely Charleston, SC, but otherwise locally within a couple of hours of home.
My bike got stolen a month or so back (FJ-09). My body doesn't like me to ride on two wheels anymore, and I thought maybe I would get a Ryker or Used spider with the insurance money. I can flat out buy a new Ryker, but not necessarily a brand new Spider. Problem is, is that I would really need to upgrade the Ryker, where as the Spider has what I need already on the machine. There is also the problem of test rides. I have never rode a three wheeled bike, and need to test ride one, but no one will let me! So I am stuck. I want a three wheeled bike, but I can't spend 10 large on something that won't fit me. If I had this bike I would have the money to get the accessories that this bike needs. I am not selling myself, am I? You give me this bike, and I don't like it, I will sell it off and give the proceeds to charity (all of it). I'm thinking St. Jude's cancer center for kids, but I would give you the choice if that were to happen. I would put that on paper to make it binding. I really want a three wheeled bike, as my knees and ankles don't like it when I ride on two wheels, but I am not rich. A new Ryker is doable in the base 600, that's about it, but again, I can't even get a test ride on a used bike.
Sorry about your bike. My Ryker is already sold, but I will suggest what I suggest to most people. Take the Can-am Rider Education Course. I’m a certified instructor myself. You will have the chance to ride at-least a Can-Am Ryker, and likely other Can-Am models as well. Best way to “test drive”.
Like your videos. Are these much safer than motorcycles. Also i live in NYC, if you live in an apartment, whats a good lock to put on this if you park outside. Keep up the good content.
I'll say safer because it is easier to ride in many ways, but at the same time you can't control other factors on the road and you are still just as exposed.
For a Ryker trip I would probably go to Georgia to see family but the seat is a pain after an hour of riding. If I get that fixed I would love to take longer trips. I thought about trading in the ryker for a honda rebel 1100 dct, but I took the ryker for a ride and changed my mind. I'm still getting the honda rebel because my honda grom is lonely. =)
Yeah the seat is kinda of an essential upgrade imo for longer Ryker trips, but I like your stable of motorcycles. I used to have a little Honda Monkey that was awesome while I lived in Florida. I'm thinking a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 would be a nice 2 wheeler to own in addition to my 3-wheeler here in GA.
had a rally, 50/50 for on road /off road for my self, i crashed it off roading, got insurance money, didn't buy another because i found them a bit slow.waiting for electric ones
Awesome video! Agreed with most of your points. I just got my 2020 Rally back in March and I love it. A few a my riding partners have spyders so I can see why you may upgrade. If I was to win I would take a trip to Florida stopping through Georgia to thank you. I drive to Florida every year from the DC area with the family so would love to try it on the ryker. Can't wait to see what you are replacing the ryker with.
You're selling yours and I am about to go drop 15K for a Ryker Rally. My plan is to hit SD from Missouri then head west to WY, then OR and I plan on taking a trip the Redwood forest then back east to Louisiana to see a friend then to FL and up the East coast before returning home. Not sure how long it will take me or if will complete the entire journey, but I am going to my greatest to try!
Hi Kahlil, thanks for the informative video. I love the Ryker and am looking into buy a used one 2019 with only 1000 miles. I have been reading a lot about the VSS issue and was wondering your thoughts regarding this. Do you ever encounter a problem if so please share your experience. Oh, love your new F3 - thanks again.
You're too worried about the dollar value you can get back when you're already getting enjoyment, mobility, solace and peace of mind from the ride. No offense, but you sound like a Harley owner. I've never purchased a motorcycle thinking what my resale value would be. Ride safe.
My Ryker is a dedication to my Army brother Desmond Hill. Unfortunately, he lost the battle to PTSD demons and suicided in 2017. I plan to revisit his grave just outside of Flagstaff, AZ.

May he rest in peace 🙏 be safe on your trip thank you and your army brother for your service to this country 🇺🇸🇺🇸

It was definitely bittersweet, but I'm excited about what is coming next. Route 66 is a good one, I would just need a bunch more vacation days!
Had a 2020 900 Ace.Rode to Tampa FLA. from Wilmington NC. It Prompted me to get a 900 sport in June. I will be going to Tampa again this year.

It all makes perfect sense for you Khalil! Happy to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your Ryker over the past few years, and thank you for sharing your experience over that time (as it definitely inspired my purchase). Looking forward to your future adventures & your next vehicle!
As per road trip destinations, I would love to go cross country to Seattle, or California or head eastward to in Canada to the province of Quebec.
Thanks again for sharing your stories.
Quebec came up in another comment, and reaffirmed my desire to explore there. All of those are great options! Thanks for following along!
I would go through Skyline Drive here in Virginia. Nice park road with great views. Looking forward to the next chapter of your channel.
Sounds like a great choice. Thanks for the support!
Come to ontario and try the shore line of the great lakes. Very nice roads.
Sounds amazing! I hope to do some riding up in Canada one day.
Love the vid. I would ride from upstate NY to visit my Sister in North Carolina . . 🏍️😎
Thanks man, and that’s a great reason to ride!
Love your vids man. I live in the north Atlanta suburbs and love the riding around here, especially in the mountains. My ultimate road trip would be a solo camping trip to smoky mountains.
I need to get up to the mountains soon, great trip idea!
Working a bunch of overtime and about to get my ryker. I'll be going up on the dragon eventually, I live about 7 minutes from the TN side.
Awesome! Enjoy it!
It sounds like you ended up with a Spyder or a goldwing, either way congrats on the new purchase. I have a few friends and we bought the 4 Ryker's at the same time. When we first got them, we would ride out all over from Las Olas to Miami beach. The one thing we never got to do was a proper road trip. Now I'm still down here in south Florida while 2 others went north. One moved to Orlando and the other to Jacksonville. Now I ride solo just to get out of the house and get that feeling you know what I am talking about. Words can't explain. My plan would be to take a road trip to link up with my boys in Orlando and Jacksonville and make an adventure out of it. I still have one of my boys down here and he and I plan to hit the keys for a mini road trip soon.
Funny how we can live relatively close to our friends, yet feel pretty far. Hope y'all link up soon for that adventure!
Ummm 🧐 you upgraded to a spyder didn’t you??👀👀
I was here from day one, it was cool to see you grow to this point.
Thank you 🙏🏾
I'm a new Ryker Sport owner. I've taken several short trips but my very first long trip will be from Baton Rouge, La to Tulsa, Ok (600 miles). Your channel and others like it are getting me prepared.
Sounds like you will be getting a Spyder F3
I would go to South Carolina. I haven't gotten my bike yet but all of your information has been a great deal of help. Thank you for all your information. I don't expect to get anything but I wanted to tell you that your videos have helped. Bless you, sir.
Glad it was helpful for you!
I was born and raised in Atlanta. I moved to Huntsville in 2011 for work. I dont miss Atlanta.
Washington to British Columbia. So beautiful. Keep the videos coming. I enjoy your content.
Absolutely! I just saw Shawn Smoaks' video of doing some riding in BC with Can-Am. So Beautiful! and thank you!
@@3WheelKhalil I'd love to go the other way, B.C. to Washington! Great videos, always learn something. Thanks, Peace
Khalil, great job, I've followed you for a long time. You're voice is very soothing. Looking forward to the next chapter and what doors it opens for you..... To answer your question, I would take a nice long trip from Arizona to Wisconsin to catch up with long lost friends.
My wife is from Wisconsin, beautiful place. Get out there and see those friends when you can. Time won’t wait for us. Thanks for the support!
I just got my Ryker and can’t wait for the fall. My goal is to head to Dahlonega Ga. The scenery is beautiful and the food and wine is even better!!
That is on my shortlist! Hoping to ride out there sooner than later, you may even see it on the channel
GL with your next ryde. Been following you since the beginning and replied on how I use my Spyder as my main vehicle, commuting year round from Cobb into downtown Atlanta. Would ride my Ryker from Atlanta to Chicago during the fall. Less traffic, less crowded on the roads, and better weather than summertime.
Yup, I remember that comment. I’m excited to do some fall riding myself. Love seeing the leaves change. Stay safe out there!
I just got my Ryker but one day I’d like to venture from Virginia to Florida to visit family
Congrats on the Ryker! Sounds like a good trip.
3 wheels looks to me like a great option at my age. This video makes me think I need more money because now I'm leaning towards a spider for my wife and I. But now I also need a rally for solo fun.
Hay! I'm Chris and I really like your excellent spoken English and your general intelligence. I'm going to follow you from this point forward. P.s. I'm on a 14 rt limited.
Welcome aboard!
Khalil, you have a presentation style that is absolutely wonderful. Informative. Insightful. Excellent delivery. What exactly do you do professionally?
Enjoy the new ride, and I'm glad that the name you chose for your channel is capable of surviving a mere model change!
Thank you for the kind words! I actually work in IT. And I'm also glad I picked the name I did. I thought about it back then because I knew this day may have come sooner or later.
@@3WheelKhalil, no wonder I got a good vibe from you. I work in IT as well, and it’s a field where you work hard to have non-technical people understand complex issues, and so delivery is key! Secondly, I’m always happy to see another brother doing his thing in this field!
It is time to graduate to the "Big Brothers... a Can Am F-3 or RT bike. I have a 2015 RTS with 50k miles on it. It is still going strong, plenty of lights, RAM mounts for iPad, Radar detector, drink holder and Bike Cam (front and rear).
Sounds like a sweet setup, hopefully whatever comes next for me will serve me for years to come like yours has.
Another awesome video man! Love all the info you put out there and your videos have been a huge help to me as a new Ryker owner. And I’ll continue to watch your channel to see what you have in store for your new purchase! Congrats on the move man! GA is beautiful, my mom lives there about an hour or so from ATL. My road trip would definitely be to Florida, I can’t wait to ride down there and see the ocean beside me and feel the breeze! That will definitely be my first long road trip on my Ryker and will hopefully be doing it soon!
Thanks for the kind words! I think a lot of stuff will still be relevant and I do plan on continuing to cover new Ryker stuff maybe even get another one at some point.
That trip to FL would be awesome, make sure you take as many roads down by the water as possible!
Looking forward to seeing what your riding now. I started watching your vids when I was shopping around for a ryker. I ended up getting an f3S. I use it to commute (almost 100 miles a day) to save a few miles on my truck. I love it so much! Like…maybe an unhealthy amount of love😅
I ride around some beautiful areas, I’m considering making vids too, since I don’t find many female spyder riders.
Anyway, enjoyed the content Bro!
Good commentary bro...😊
Atlanta traffic is pretty harsh. Rush hour often moves slow enough and the people are generally pretty nice about letting you in. We have a lot of slow pokes in the morning that need to be blown away by a ryker in 5 am traffic
I would ride to NC/TN to ride the tail of the dragon😁
I gotta do that ride myself soon!
Thanks Khalil, I have a 2021 Rally, love it but I see all your points about comfort, lack of power steering, etc., planning to order a Spyder F3S for the spring, I look forward to seeing what you purchase , I follow you on Instagram as well, i really enjoy your channel, your content, and wish you well, your calm and thoughtful approach to your videos is great!
Thanks
Mike
Canada
Thanks Mike! I always appreciate reading your comments!
I’ve only had it for about 3 months it’s amazing to drive but better with friends,and all your reasons are great especially the storage so next year I’m thinking about getting a spyder. And if I was gonna take a road trip it would shirt and sweet and beautiful I live in New Orleans so I would go to orange Alabama
Alabama is a hidden gem in a lot of ways
Good for you with wanting something more suitable. Since taking my class back in July I've always wanted and still do want a spider but I was going to settle for a Ryker just to save a few bucks and get more riding miles in considering it'll be my 1st time ever owning a motorcycle and now the longer it's taking me to purchase the Ryker I'm leaning back towards my original plan and that's to buy a spider 🕷
Thank you! Sometimes you gotta go with your gut
@@3WheelKhalil true that. Looking forward to seeing what you'll be riding next. Continue providing those videos and always be safe out there my brother
Buy the Spyder, even its the base model. I had the same dilemma and have no regrets, other than an emptier wallet.
Happy riding. I use my Ryker 600 just to get around town. thirty minutes is the farthest I go so far. I use a net and a backpack for grocery shopping. I would go visit my sons in different states one in Missouri one in Texas and one in Louisianna
Great reasons to take a little trip!
Love my Ryker Rally and your channel. We are going to Idaho from Iowa to visit my husband's brothers.
Thank you! Enjoy that trip, I hope to get back out to Idaho on my own time to explore it more. Beatiful landscape out there.
I plan on a ryker trip from Tampa Fl to Killeen Texas to see my daughter and grandkids.
Hope all goes well with your new ride!!! I travel from MN to WI every other weekend to spend time with my girlfriend and I understand the need for luggage. I have a Ryker myself and driving 2 1/2 hrs from point A to point B with very limited storage is very inconvenient. I was looking into getting storage, my only issue is the cost for such storage. Congrats to who gets it and congrats to you for your new purchase!!!
Thank you, yeah once you start adding the little upgrades up it can really start to be sizable. That’s dope that you do that trip so regularly though. Stay safe out there!
I rode my Ryker to Sturgis this year.
And it does need a better seat.
Nice vid as usual, thanks for sharing! I'm excited to get a Ryker. Hopefully I'll have one by the end of this year. Looking to get the 900 but will be far from disappointed if I end up with the 600, which I still had a blast with when I rented one.
Can't wait to see the vids on your new Spyder! 😁
Good things come to those who wait!
Hi, I also love my 2019 Ryker. It’s my fun vehicle during weekends. I would love to inherit your storage kit 😉 I have been looking for options for a 1- or 2-night trip as I venture further from my town (San Antonio, TX). Eventually I would love to ride to the Smoky Mountains. By the way, love your relaxing thoughtful voice. Thanks and hope you continue to contribute to this community ☺️
I really am honored to contribute to this community. Thanks for your kind words!
I did things the opposite of you. I bought a new spyder in 2018 but missed the "fun factor" of a smaller bike. 3 years later I bought a Ryker and got my wish! Not too worried about long cruises or comfort - that is what the Spyder is for. I thought eventually I would get rid of one but I don't see that happening soon! They both have their advantages and really one could never give you the same thing that the other one does. So I have the best of both worlds (until my insurance bill comes due!)
Just came across your channel and really enjoy it. My wife and I both have a 2021 900 ACE and love them. Our dream road trip would be to take the Rykers from NC to the FL Keys. Man that would be an awesome trip.
Just make sure I get an invite and we’re cool!
@@3WheelKhalil We'll do. Probably gonna be a while though....
Can’t wait to see what you have next coming to the channel
Thank you 🙏🏾
I've had my 2021 rally for a year now and I still love it. I love doing my own touches to it. I didn't buy it for long travel rides but I would take it San Francisco and Bay area and up to Reno.
WHY ? I so enjoy my Ryker, I have Motorcycles( 883, 2 Hondas Goldwing and a shadow . But my “ Ryk” is so awesome to take lazy Sunday rides with my best friend on this planet My Wife. I’m so glad you enjoyed it God bless you and more power to you… what’s next brah?
Had to get a little more power and comfort, Spyder F3-SS. But the Ryker was awesome while I had it, enjoy those Sunday cruises!
Man I would just drive a whole weekend and let the roads take me where they want!!!! How peaceful would that be!!!!! DREAMS!!!!!
100% - just go where the wind blows
I would chase the place the wind comes from spend that time on the road when it's just you inside that helmet and you face yourself and try to find that guy and don't give up your search for that ride of perfection you spend a lot of time on vids and home and work don't ever give up the knees in the breeze my brother
The reward is in the journey, I love it!
Thanks for sharing your update. Just looked at some of the models and focusing on the Spyder RT Limited for many of the reasons you mentioned. Good luck with your decision on what’s next.
😢 but I can't wait until the next adventure I want to go to the tail of the dragon from Aiken sc... That's my goal.. 😁
The next adventure is coming very soon! I wanna get out to the Dragon soon too
Ga to Fl Ever year. I would love to ride ryker but like you said upgrading the storage changes the look and it’s very expensive
Just came back from my old stomping grounds in Florida, always nice
how can you not love a sport trike? more fun and more versatile than any two wheeler
I wish they would come out with a “leaning” ryker, that was still affordable. 😎🔥
It would be interesting for sure
Another great video bro! When I was doing my research to buy a ryker a year or so ago, you definitely was one of my go to channels. You also inspired me to start a channel since I'm now a Ryker Rally owner since March of this year. If I were to win I would take a trip to my favorite vacation state Florida stopping through Georgia to thank you and grab a lil footage for our channels. Thanks and keep up the Great work 💪🏾
Much appreciated man! And for sure, just let me know when you make that trip!
Great video and great content, I have the LinQ top case and the Linq base I’m almost there but if I had to travel it would be to the great smoky mountains
Smoky Mountains is a popular answer!
Who did the giveaway go to? I must have missed it.
The first thing I did was buy the biggest wind screen I could get and I installed it in the parking lot of the dealership.
After 2 years with mine, I can't agree more! Upgrading is definitely on my road map in a couple years. The Ryker is my first bike and I couldn't be happier. I'd love to take the trip through the mountains of PA and Virginia to NC where my Mom and sister are. I'd need some rest stops...no premium seat for my bottom yet but my wife has one on the back!! Thanks for all yout input! I found your channel right before I got mine!
They say happy wife happy life right? Also nothing wrong with taking a moment to stop, walk around and enjoy a little pit stop in a new area.
Ryker Road trip to Tail of the Dragon
Good choice!
Travel from North Carolina to New York
Nice!
Pick me up in PA, I've got family there!
Another great video, your videos helped my wife and me to pull the trigger last year on our 2021 600’s. Road trip wise, for the storage definitely Charleston, SC, but otherwise locally within a couple of hours of home.
That is awesome, I feel like Charleston would be a nice place to cruise around.
Do you have to keep your Can Am Ryker in a garage?
My bike got stolen a month or so back (FJ-09). My body doesn't like me to ride on two wheels anymore, and I thought maybe I would get a Ryker or Used spider with the insurance money. I can flat out buy a new Ryker, but not necessarily a brand new Spider. Problem is, is that I would really need to upgrade the Ryker, where as the Spider has what I need already on the machine.
There is also the problem of test rides. I have never rode a three wheeled bike, and need to test ride one, but no one will let me! So I am stuck. I want a three wheeled bike, but I can't spend 10 large on something that won't fit me. If I had this bike I would have the money to get the accessories that this bike needs.
I am not selling myself, am I? You give me this bike, and I don't like it, I will sell it off and give the proceeds to charity (all of it). I'm thinking St. Jude's cancer center for kids, but I would give you the choice if that were to happen. I would put that on paper to make it binding.
I really want a three wheeled bike, as my knees and ankles don't like it when I ride on two wheels, but I am not rich. A new Ryker is doable in the base 600, that's about it, but again, I can't even get a test ride on a used bike.
Sorry about your bike. My Ryker is already sold, but I will suggest what I suggest to most people. Take the Can-am Rider Education Course. I’m a certified instructor myself. You will have the chance to ride at-least a Can-Am Ryker, and likely other Can-Am models as well. Best way to “test drive”.
road trip from FL to ATL. 🙂
where the players play and they ride on them thangs like everyday!
Like your videos. Are these much safer than motorcycles. Also i live in NYC, if you live in an apartment, whats a good lock to put on this if you park outside. Keep up the good content.
I'll say safer because it is easier to ride in many ways, but at the same time you can't control other factors on the road and you are still just as exposed.
For a Ryker trip I would probably go to Georgia to see family but the seat is a pain after an hour of riding. If I get that fixed I would love to take longer trips. I thought about trading in the ryker for a honda rebel 1100 dct, but I took the ryker for a ride and changed my mind. I'm still getting the honda rebel because my honda grom is lonely. =)
Yeah the seat is kinda of an essential upgrade imo for longer Ryker trips, but I like your stable of motorcycles. I used to have a little Honda Monkey that was awesome while I lived in Florida. I'm thinking a Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 would be a nice 2 wheeler to own in addition to my 3-wheeler here in GA.
when I got mine I was shocked to find I couldn't mow the lawn with it
As a rookie to this should I start with ryker or move up to spyder I really want a f3 special... my wife and I want to travel to
If 2UP travel is your primary thing, I’d go with a Soy
I'm sorry a soy ??
I think that the Ryker takes up as much room as a car under my carport..?
Sometimes it's just time to move on from a bike. Be interesting to see what you end up with.
100%
had a rally, 50/50 for on road /off road for my self, i crashed it off roading, got insurance money, didn't buy another because i found them a bit slow.waiting for electric ones
Awesome video! Agreed with most of your points. I just got my 2020 Rally back in March and I love it. A few a my riding partners have spyders so I can see why you may upgrade. If I was to win I would take a trip to Florida stopping through Georgia to thank you. I drive to Florida every year from the DC area with the family so would love to try it on the ryker. Can't wait to see what you are replacing the ryker with.
Canyon?
Price is a bit high, but I want to test one out ASAP!
I would drive from Kcmo to STL.
Sweet!
Vanderhall?
You're selling yours and I am about to go drop 15K for a Ryker Rally. My plan is to hit SD from Missouri then head west to WY, then OR and I plan on taking a trip the Redwood forest then back east to Louisiana to see a friend then to FL and up the East coast before returning home. Not sure how long it will take me or if will complete the entire journey, but I am going to my greatest to try!
Hi Kahlil, thanks for the informative video. I love the Ryker and am looking into buy a used one 2019 with only 1000 miles. I have been reading a lot about the VSS issue and was wondering your thoughts regarding this. Do you ever encounter a problem if so please share your experience. Oh, love your new F3 - thanks again.
Nice video….. I would go visit my girl she lives in Florida am in jersey
Great reason to ride!
Been following you from the beginning and I still haven’t gotten mine yet smh 🤦🏾♂️
Wow for real?
@@3WheelKhalil yea bro I still pray on it gods timing not mine
You're too worried about the dollar value you can get back when you're already getting enjoyment, mobility, solace and peace of mind from the ride. No offense, but you sound like a Harley owner.
I've never purchased a motorcycle thinking what my resale value would be. Ride safe.
What motorcycle did you get?
Spyder F3-S!
I would hit the Grand Canyon
Solid choice!
Myrtle Beach
Nice!
I bet you bought an F3 Limited :)
You think so?
@@3WheelKhalil - Yeah, way more comfy ride and much more storage :)
These things always remind me of like a rich people hover around scooter
I sold a 2019 in 2020 with 4,000 miles and lost 1/3 of what I paid. Not good.
