Default Hello from Ottawa, ON, Canada

Hey everyone! I'm from near Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I don't have a Can-Am Spyder yet, but am REALLY hoping I'll be getting one in the Spring. I can't wait!!!

My hubby has posted on this forum a couple of times very recently (Korruptor) as he's been helping me with the research.

Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself

Welcome. I think I read you're husband's post and you have a piaggio 300. I'm jelous. I have a Vespa GTS 250 i.e. You will love the spyder no matter what model you get. I have the RT model as I needed the storage and a radio is a must for me. I also do a lot of road trips. Next one is New Hampshire for NASCAR end of Sept. Enjoy.

Thanks Jersey Girl!

Yes, I have a Piaggio BV Tourer 300, although I only rode it a few times since I'm not comfortable on the gravel roads where we live (in the country)... so it's one of the reasons I want to sell it and get a Spyder instead

Road trips would be fun! Hopefully one day my hubby and I will be going on some

Welcome, Shortcake!

I understand your having to wait... I waited for awhile after I first saw them, too, and am so glad I held out and got one!
