    Hello, another new member here. I am the new owner of a 2011 Spyder Ltd. I purchased the spyder along with an enclosed cargo trailer from a fellow forum member. He told me the best "accessory" for the Spyder is the spyderlovers forum. I put a couple hundred miles on her so far and just changed the oil. I am a recent convert form the two wheel crown and getting used to the ride. What a great ride it is and a great forum as well! I'll attempt to post a couple of pictures; you may recognize the trailer as this was also purchased originally from another forum member for the state of Texas.

    Also while riding last weekend, I ran into another Spyder ridden by a fellow forum member.

    My SO & I found that we enjoyed hauling the RT in our covered trailer to fun places, then spending days exploring the new area. She felt that was more fun than flogging ourselves to get there on the bike. Alone, I don't mind a couple of thousand miles, but the SO prefers her comfort.

    Out here, you can travel hundreds of miles in HOT high desert, with nowhere to stop, nothing of interest to see, and sweating obscenely - we macho guys revel in this. Our lovely brides, not so much.... enjoy BOTH worlds.

    I'm with you there. We travel by RV. The Spyder and trailer will provide transportation once we get to our destination.
