I am a new owner of a new 2014 Spyder ST-S purchased 2 weeks ago (leftover unsold and still crated inventory purchased by my local dealer). I only started riding 2-wheelers about 5 years ago, so I am still a novice rider. I had to stop that activity in late January after a weather-related accident put me in the hospital trauma center for 5 days. After that, the wife said any more riding adventures better have more than 2 wheels or else. So, here I am.
I have enjoyed reading all of the posts on this forum for the past few days and see that there is a lot of knowledge and feedback being passed around from member to member. I will be having questions on my Spyder now and then, but I will post those on the appropriate ST page when they arise.
Looking forward to the continued conversations and posts.

Pictures. OK. Just a few from my ride today up on Skyline Drive in Virginia near Front Royal, Va. Nice sunny day and decent temps. Only my 3rd ride on the machine and did about 150 miles total today. Starting to get the hang of 3 wheels.

Hello from Wilder, Idaho.
My wife and I purchased our 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5 preowned, last September after trading off a 2005 HD Ultra Classic. We're both in our mid 60's, and began to find that the motorcycle was just too heavy and cumbersome to ride comfortably with any ease or peace of mind. Likely, I would have appreciated it more in my 40's. We love the Spyder, and just bought a new, Corbin electrically heated seat with a back rest for it. But a new Can Am RT Limited is a future goal. In the meantime, we'll just continue to accessorize the one we have and with a bit of luck, we aim to ride to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania next year. Please write should you be so inclined.
