    Default New kid from AZ

    New folks from Tucson, AZ here.

    New to the 3 wheeled motorcycle world. Traded an off road vehicle we had for a Harley trike. I needed an endorsement on my license to be legal.

    Ride Now was offering a Can Am sponsored training class for $75.00 and it would get me my endorsement without dealing with the DMV.

    I rode an F3 for the training class but got to see the Touring class at the same time. Found all to be an impressive machines.

    Started looking at Spyder's for sale and forums. Found this to be the most impressive forum. It appears to be respectful and knowledgeable, taking in to consideration some of us less knowledgeable newbies.

    We made arrangements to purchase a 2013 with 2100 miles contingent on an inspection by the local Can Am service department.

    More to come!!

    Welcome from San Antonio, Texas. We - wife and self - spent about 8 days in your beautiful city last month seeing the many sights. I rode my 2015 RT-S and my bride rode her 2012 RT Limited and both performed flawlessly.

    We're completely sold on Spyder RTs for touring and traveling. Hope you enjoy yours!
