Thanks for the thoughts. ... The Corbin bags look cool too. The Corbin
fairing is hideous.
For me, I have no highway bike right now, just a DR-Z400. So, I wouldn't be
ditching a Sprint, or BMW, or the like for the Spyder. I'd be adding it for
comuting to work (I too like the extended riding season) and then getting a
Street Triple or something similar to blast around on.
All of this is a mental exercise until next spring after I settle down into
the new job and have a house in the DC area.
