    Default New RT-S handled the Dragon perfectly!



    Great ride this weekend on The Tail of the Dragon! 2014 RT-S took the curves like a champ (not a bad rider either if I do say so myself).

    Normal speed is 17 minutes and 14 GB so I have to edit it down to a few choice clips. Will do though. Cheers!

    I think that your double-expressos were kicking into overdrive!
    Now, I need a nap!

    I know right? I was going great, averaging about 35 mph until I came up to the bikes - then it was 25. Still fun though.

    First, thanks for serving our country! How do you think a 2013 or earlier Spyder would do on the same ryde? Looks like you had a great time.

    Saw a bunch of other Spyders and they did great also. Talked to one lady from Florida who has 30k on her 2012 RTL and she rydes coast to coast. She said it does great. Did notice the VSS kick on a few times on the big curves when I had the wheels pegged to the side. A bit of wheel squeal but the Spyder comes out of the turns and gets back up to speed great. Talking with my two-wheel friends riding with me, the Spyder is definitely more work turning, but less work at the same time because of the bikes leaning side to side. And thanks for the thanks! Loved my time in the Navy and would do it again (if my knees weren't shot and I was 20 years younger).
