    Hi everyone I just picked up a great 2014 RT LTD w/12K mi on it and my first one. I have spent more then 60 years on 2 wheels and decided it was time to change, just sold my 85 Goldwing and 97 Valkyrie. I too am still reaching for the clutch and hand break but getting better after 200 mi on it and loving it so far. Bob G.

    I think most of us do for the first few hundred miles, RVG......As much as I loved two wheels, I won’t be going back. These things really bring a smile to your face

    Default Hi Bob Welcome

    To this fun ride. Many of us have had the same experience as you. It takes a liittle while to develope the new habits needed. Well worth the effort. I just got back from a rally with a club I have ridden with for 25 years. When I bought my Spyder 3 Years ago there was only one other Spyder inthe group. Now in addition to jine there were 5 other Spyders inthe group. This ride is so much fun more are finding it out. So welcome to the group,posr early,post often and post pictures.

    Happy TRAils/NSD
