I am looking forward to the Ontario trip and watching you riding out at dusk and also in the coming colder months. I appreciate to will be quite a big thing for you without the car and just using the Spyder but I am sure you will be able to cope. Thanks for the Catskill trip the views are just awesome.
I used my Ultra Guard half cover when I took my Spyder overnight to New Braunfels and parked it at my hotel. I also use it in the storage unit I keep my Spyder in that's just 5 minutes from my house.
We just visited Niagara Falls and thanks for the weather info. Wore short pants and short sleeve shirts the whole time. We, my wife and I had a great time. We spent a whole day on the Canada side. Our time on both sides was great! Leaving for home in Tennessee in the morning. Take care!
I opted for the Ultra Guard half cover for my travels, mostly wanting to conserve a little space. And I'm happy with it, though two things I'll mention for those who are thinking about one: One, rain beads up really well, except where the cover is touching something...like the trunk or the windshield. Water gets through when that happens so those things and the inside of the cover get wet. Probably true for the full size and the half size. Two, the cover needs some help to stay on when it is really windy. So I've got straps that I'll add, either over the front edge of the trunk (but behind the seat) and then through the rear hand grips; or around the windshield and below the handlebars. Full cover might handle the wind better.
@@michaelmcdonald9247 Thanks for that. If I run into something like that, I may use the under the seat hooks to secure the cover instead of the running boards.
A trip to FL, from upstate NY, that's a 3 day journey, unless you stop and smell the flowers, then 4 or so. Living in FL, the flat lands way different than you experience. I have UltraGuard half cover, for my 20 RTL, it works for me. Safe travels.
When I bought my Spyder in 2022, I also bought the CanAm full cover for it. I always cover my Spyder. I could see it was getting tired as it was thinning out. The other day, as I was putting on the cover, it ripped as I stretched it properly in place. I bought the UltraGard cover to replace it because the CanAm one is stupid expensive. Cheers Chris!
@@SpyderChrisYT ok, I will try that by adjusting the straps. I don't care for the way it squeezes the antenna up against the trunk. The overall fit is not as snug as the CanAm cover.
The Spyder is incredibly smooth, and with cruise control on the highway, it tracks straight and is almost hands free. I feel safer than on a two wheel motorcycle, but there is inherent danger on the road.

So glad you had a great time. Weather has been unseasonably warm. Safe travels home.

Good observations, thanks!

Weather could make trip longer, and road salt with no rains could nix it altogether. Fingers crossed.

Sorry to hear it ripped, but glad you got a lot of use out of it.
@@SpyderChrisYT question for you: where do you tie the hooks of the ultragard cover on your Spyder?
@@SpyderRichard I hooked them to the bottom of the floorboards, although there was no wind so that method wasn’t really challenged by Mother Nature.

The fall foliage is starting here in New Hampshire. As you know the Kankamankus Hwy is a beautiful ride, even better now and not in full season yet
I’m hearing it’s a bit early for colors in the Adirondacks, but I may be going early next week. Fingers crossed.
i bought the ultraguard half cover for my ryker, works great. I use it when i drive it to work and it may rain . keeps my ryker dry..
I wrestled back and forth between the full and the half. I’m glad the half works well for you.
Check out Warm and Safe, great heated gear
I appreciate the tip.
How comfortable is it in cruise? How safe do you feel driving it? Do you fell threatened by cars and whatnot
