Think I am fairly boring, the ST is the ST or sometimes the 1300, the Wing is the Wing and the sidecar the sidecar.
Theresa is a little more with it and her lime green Micra is the Green Goddess.

It was better than great.  I loved it.  In Japan it was called "Bushman".

The Gods must Be Crazy 2 should never have been made.

So inferior to the first

The Aragog name arrived at thanks to my Sister-in-law and brother in Rocky.

I'm guessing I'm not the only one keen to hear what your fuel range was, the life and cost of tyres, and on-going service costs.

I quizzed Johnnyyted about tyres when looking at his beast in Balranald (ie. whether they were normal car tyres etc.).  He said Spyder issue their own tyres and they weren't cheap.  Not sure on what mileage you get out of them.

Pete not sure on the cost yet , but as per owners manual the tyres are Directional made by Kenda (?) specific for Can-Am and are VIN registered to vehicles when installed and have some sort of Can-Am warranty. I'm sure Gadget will have more info on this as he has done more research than I.
Fuel range when Gary rode BEEstY down was about the same as STranglers
On the Balranald RTE my fuel usage was inline with STroppy's

Coming back from Cairns, I pushed my luck on one tank and had to fill up in St Lawrence. I'd traveled 348 km before I stopped.

In a 26 litre tank, I put in just over 22 litres. But as I was putting in ULP 91 RON, not the recommended 95 RON I didn't brim it as I normally would.

I haven't looked at tyres yet as they are still in good condition only having done 19,000 km.

The rear was replaced with a 'V' rated Toyo before I bought it, and I'm not sure that was a good idea. It lets go really easy in wet conditions.

Gadget got a photo or your rear tyre just so I can see tread pattern?

Saw one of these Spyders earlier today.

Older couple on board with both having open face lime green (see below) helmets. Colour of the trike was black with lime green pin striping (???) to match the helmets. Also towing what looked like a camper trailer.
