Hello everyone. I took delivery of a beautiful, new, pearl-white, 2011 RS5, just five days ago. I live in Boca Raton, Fl and I'm a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast but this is my first trike. Still getting used to cornering it. I'm very glad this forum exists to support Spyder owners.
Cheers.

Hector

Welcome aboard!
Please keep us informed as you adapt to "Lyfe on a Trypod". Sometimes it's actually easier for folks who've never ridden a motorcycle... You've got both some unlearning and learning to do!
Best advice going is simply to relax and keep a light grip on the bars. Don't try to micromanage the steering.
If you've had any experience riding ATVs; that helps!

Plan 20 minutes for Q&A everytime you go to gas up! It seems that there is always 1 curious person that will walk up with questions.

Welcome, Hector!

Practice makes perfect... and you're in a good place for plenty of good weather for practicing!
