2013: “There is a terrible gas smell when I stop and when I get home from a ride I have to park the Spyder outside so that the entire garage doesn't smell like gas. Also, when I'm riding I have to position my feet just right on the right side floorboard to keep from getting my foot or ankle burned from the heat being put out on that side.”
