Hi,
I am a real newbie. I never sat on a motorcycle until mid May. We bought our 2015 Spyder then. I really like it. However, we are planning a long trip and I hope I
can take a ride that long. I notice where you feel many more bumps than being in a car. I'm in my 50s, have arthritis, but overall doing well.
Bought my first motorcycle 2010 Spyder RSS. I've had my learners for 15 years and rode my husbands Sportster. Hoping to go for my road test in a couple of weeks. Biggest hurdle is gauging the throttle. There seems to be nothing then all of a sudden...
Enjoying myself.
Hi everybody.
Well my husband decided he was tired of saying I wanted one so he went and bought me a brand new one. Orbital blue. I really like it. He is a bit unsure as he is used to his two wheels and keeps thinking that way when driving it. I can't wait until our currently 3 feet of snow we are getting to go away so I can enjoy it more. If anyone has any hints or suggested upgrades feel free to message me. I am sure there are a few oh this would make sense ideas I haven't had a chance to read yet on this very full forum. I look forward to reading and riding more. Hopefully the photo I posted shows up correctly below.

Fine looking ryde. As for tips and hints, the suggested maneuvers in the manual are actually a great way to get started on feeling more comfortable on the spyder.

2014 RT-S Pearl White
2010 BRP 622 Trailer Pearl White
Just moved from many years on 2 wheels and now back issues I decided to move to a 2016 Spyder RTS. After only one day of riding I can tell I'm going to love it. I cant wait to see how the ladies have blinged their rides. Will be headed to Laughin River Run in a couple of weeks.
Just wanted to say hello from Southeastern Connecticut. The Monyafeek (2013 ST-S, purchased last fall) and I are enjoying the nice ryding weather here this week. I'm also happy to discover this great forum!
Welcome and happy Spydership (Spyder ownership) to you!

I had a 2010 RS-S until I traded it in less than 2 weeks ago (and now I really wish I had kept it!). The "nothing then all of a sudden..." doesn't sound right to me. Mine gave me "something" the second I twisted the throttle. Have you had it looked at, or ridden others of the same thing?
After a couple years of debating whether to buy a spyder or not I finally bought one a few weeks ago. Brought home a new 2015 STLimited in denim blue. I've ridden quads, dirt bikes, side by sides and snowmobiles I've never really had a street bike before. We had a dump of snow, a foot of the white stuff, about three days after I brought my spyder home so never got a chance to ride much until today. Went about 30 miles this afternoon. It was a blast, I can see what I'm going to spend my summer doing. Anyway just wanted to say "Hey" to all the other spyder lovers on here and will probably be asking questions about the spyder as I become familiar with it.

Welcome!
I am in my 60's and I love my Spyder. Got mine in 2012.
First thing I did was buy an Ultimate seat.(the one on the 2012 was gawd awful). Make sure your shocks are set right for 2 up riding.
Ultimate Seats were wonderful to deal with. We spoke over the phone and they asked me questions about my weight, hip size etc and a week later I had my new seat. Worth every damn penny!
Hi everyone. I'm a new owner of a F3 Limited! I have wanted one for about 8 years now. So excited! Husband is a Harley man but this my first bike of my own!
Newbie
