Hi folks, My wife and I just purchased a new to us RT-s premier edition (#277). The bike is mainly her ride as I ride a Kawasaki Vulcan. We live in Gurnee, IL and are looking for spyder clubs in the area. Looking forward to many miles of smiles aboard this beautiful machine. And to getting to know all of you fine folks.

Welcome aboard! You guys are going to LOVE the Spyder. If your Missus is used to piloting two wheels, climbing on "the tripod" will take a bit of seat time to get used to... but it's worth it!

So post some pics and let us know how she likes it!

Thanks Bob... actually, she didn't really learn how to ride 2 wheels, so she has no preconceptions to overcome. I, on the other hand, am still reaching for the front brake lever <G>. Will post pics soon.

I know what you mean Russ; I sometimes still find myself stomping and squeezing everything that is and isn't there when things get a bit dicey...
