Default My new Spyder RTS

I just shelled out $27,000 today for a new 2011 Spyder RTS. I took a short ride on their demo model. It was fun, but I haven't been on the road with it yet. They had to build it today and I can pick it up tomorrow afternoon. It should be exciting. I already have a 2009 Suzuki Burgman 650 and I absolutely love it. It is the best 2 wheeler I have ever owned, and I have had over 50 motorcycles over the years. I hope I like this new toy just as much. LOL.

Patience... is a virtue that none of us can wait to acquire! Once they get you up and running, let us know what you think!

Default Goodbye to my bikes

How funny, I just traded in my Burgman 650 2009 and my Ducati ST4 2000 for the RTS Limited this last weekend. I am not sure I should have let the Burgman go. I am going to miss taking the corner as fast as I did on the bikes.

Welcome, Gordon!!

Be sure to read the manual - there's a blip in there about how to drop your hip off the seat in a turn. That makes the turns much smoother and fun!!!

Welcome, ZWolf!

Looking forward to pics from both of you!!!
