Default Newbie from New Brunswick, Canada!!!

Just bought a 2008 Spyder and I can't wait to get riding. Sadly, I have to wait until I'm licensed to ride (my hubby insists) so I will have to content myself with practicing in parking lots

I was told I've gotten a great deal...$14,500 with 7700 km on it. Also has risers on handlebars, a Hinkle pipe, backrest, a bigger windshield for highway rides and foot pegs were switched out. All the things I would have had to do myself over time.

Looking forward to learning more about my ride!!

Welcome, sounds like a great deal for a great spyder.
We have ours for 8 weeks and have 4400km on it, and have fun riding in Ontario.
We bought ours to travel Canada, next summer will be our east coast trip on the RT, planning to visit N.B., P.E.I, Newfoundland. we did this 6 years ago by car, now want to do it on the RT.

Welcome to the Party!! So what does your Hubby ride? If he's on 2 wheels he's going to be so jealous of all of the attention that you'lll be getting on your Spyder!

Hubby is a Harley man all the way... I'll have to find some other Spyder riders, I've seen a few around the Fredericton area.
