First ride and I'm not smiling...

...I'm grinning like a Cheshire Cat! O.M.G! That was a total blast! I can do this! Ran around the neighborhood. Got up to 40mph and 2nd gear. Had to quit only because it got dark. Biggest issue I've got right now is when I make a sharp right turn (like turning at a stop sign) I have a tendency to blip the throttle; have to work on that. And constantly telling myself "Relax, damnit!" (although if I think back 30 years ago when I first learned to drive I remember the instructor telling me the same thing as I had a death-grip on the steering wheel.)

Took a couple of pictures near the lake by my house.

I'll stop babbling now (but I won't stop grinning!)

Trb-

Nice color! Hey, I noticed that you stated that you blip the throttle a little on sharp right turns. I did that too but learned to push just a little more on the left bar to keep the force off your right hand, have fun!!!!

Nice looking ST-Limited. Saw the same color on one that Pitbull was delivering at the owners event. It looks even better in person
:congrats: on your ride and :welcome:

Great choice in Spyder. That is the best color they could have ever put on an ST!

...and a great stress reliever!

Beautiful bike!! Do you find yourself happy and excited at night just before you go to sleep at nite thinking about your ride and can't wait for the next one? I did and still do! It's fun reading about new riders excitement, all the best and continued happiness.
