Nah.. couldn't/wouldn't do that to BOB... I would pay for my own gas... :roflblack:

But, seriously, if I can scare up a Sypder to rent, would love to ryde with some local folks. Any nearby...

Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately, the closest one listed is in Belleville, NJ, around 90 miles away. Wouldn't mind driving 90 miles to satisfy my need to Ryde the Hudson Valley area... but NJ...

Going to Poughkeepsie NY on a 3-week assignment starting April 29. :shocked:

I understand that the Hudson River Valley is just gorgeous that time of year... so gotta Ryde!! :clap:

Does anyone...

I decided to play hookey and pick up my 2012 Spyder RT SE5 Limited today... A day early to beat the yucky rain predicted for Sat here in Dallas..

The pickup at the dealer went pretty smooth. The...

Hope you have a speedy recovery. May the weather overlords will grant you a nice winter riding day after your recovery.

I can see that happening here. She had surgery this summer so I let her sleep on my side of the bed during her recovery because it is closer to the restroom...

Now, it's HER side....

Married 34 years so NAH she won't buy it.

Right... that's one of the great things I've learned here on Spyder Lovers..

At least, I think my brain knows what to do.. I just hope my right foot will listen... :shocked:

I won't pick up my first :spyder2: until Saturday and the mods have already begun. :yikes:

Just order the Seal Floorboards... what have I gotten myself into? :dontknow:

I'll just tell my...

Thanks for all of the great info. :thumbup: Spyder Lovers is :firstplace:.

I will certainly create my own "checklist" to use when I pick up my :spyder2: :2excited:

If I'm lucky and the...

I've only test driven the Sypder around the big back lot at the dealer a couple of time since I didn't have my license. Seemed very intuitive to me shifting up to 2nd, back down to 1st, turning,...

:congrats: to you too. Fortunately for me my first ryde will be a bit shorter than yours.. maybe 10 miles.

They are closed on Mondays, so I'll have to slow it down and get in on Tues. :2thumbs:

Unfortunately it is going to be rainy this weekend in Dallas.. and gotta paint a hallway and bathroom...

I'm going to pick up my new 2012 Spyder RT Limited on Fri afternoon or Sat morning.

Is there a list of items that I need to make sure that my dealer covers? Questions I should ask?

I want to...

:congrats: Congrats!! :congrats:


It is a proud moment! :clap:

I took my MSF course recently, took the written test and got my endorsement less than two weeks ago!! And I drive home my...

Actually I decided to hold off with the accessories for now. Since this is my first bike, figured I would wait six months and see what happens. Besides I can spend some of that dough on some...

I got my first quote from Kyle @ RMS but he wasn't even in the same ballpark. Told him what the Greenville was advertising but he wouldn't budge so it was buh-bye.

Billy @ NTY came through within...

Absolutely!!! Will give you a holler when I build up some skill and confidence.

What's more fun than riding a Spyder? Riding a Spyder with another Spyder Ryder!

Well.. I finally made a decision and purchased a 2012 Lava Bronze/tan seat RT Limited. :2thumbs:

I really, really wanted to go local with North Texas Yamaha because that is the dealer where I...

Hey Ranger... not in east Texas but in north Dallas area. Just getting my Spyder this weekend. I'm new to motorcycling but maybe in a few months I might be up to venturing out that far. If so,...

flamingobabe, I noticed that you live in Friendswood. My wife spent a good portion of her life in Pearland. After we were married, we lived in Pearland for a few years before moving to the Dallas...

:agree::agree: As someone totally new to motorcycling at a more-young-at-heart-than-body age, this board has been nothing short of fan-freaking-tastik for me. I have read and read and learned so...

There was mention of a bluetooth communications system. Anyone have more inho on that? Getting a 2012 RT Limited with the full Can Am comm system. Just wondering if the new system is all bluetooth...

I live in Dallas and will be buying a Spyder this week. Do these filters come already on new RTs? Is this something I should ask the dealer about.?

Who is dealer A? Just like to know which...

My daughter's best friend, who is like a daughter to us, lives in Wylie. If you're running Bush, I live just south of there around the Josey exit.

We're fortunate in the Dallas area as there are a number of dealers around. I've two within 15 minutes of me. Then Louis in Greenville is about 50 miles away and there is at least one in Ft Worth...

Those are nice looking helmets.. but I'm gonna go ahead and stick with the Spyder communication system.. it seems to be the best choice for me at this time.

Actually that is where I'm buying. It is Louis Powersports in Greenville. Google says 50 miles from my house.

I did visit them just to see what the beasty looked like in person and will likely use them as my service dealer as I've heard some good things about them. Seriously doubt that they can beat the...

Thanks Scotty.. that pretty much sums up what I had concluded but you said it so much more concisely and clearly.

Given that this is my first bike ever, I think the best road for me is the
