Hello everyone,

I've been browsing this board for a while now, and last week I finally became the owner of a 2014 RTL. I've learned a lot about Spyders from all of you already, and I'm looking forward to learning a great deal more. I definitely hope to see you all out on the road in the very near future.

I do have a couple of questions that I'm hoping you all can help me with. I still need to get my motorcycle license here in Illinois. I'm going to take the written exam today, which will provide me with a permit. My first question is, what am I allowed to do with that permit. The Secretary of State website says that you need to be under the supervision of another person with a motorcycle license, but I'm not sure what that means. Does that person have to ride with me, along side me, or what?

Also, has anyone take the skills (riding) portion of the test on their Spyder? If so, what was that experience like, and would you recommend doing that?

Thanks everyone.

Mello
