    Default New RT Limited Owner

    Hi everyone…

    My First Spyder! I purchased a new red 2015 RT Limited. I have been riding twowheels for over forty years. I currently have a couple Harleys. Some days it’shard to ride on two wheels due to arthritis in the knees. I am still going tohold on to the two wheelers for days when the knees aren’t too bad. Being a Harleyenthusiast for many years it was a tough decision to go with the Spyder over a Harleytrike. But after test riding both and comparing price and features, I decidedto go with the Spyder. Now I just need this snow to melt so I can bring it home.I will be posting photos when I do.

    Welcome from yet another former Harley rider. Word of advice, don't sell the Harley to soon. I wish I still had mine just to tinker on. I do love my Spyder, but I loved my Harley also. Again, welcome aboard.

    Default New to Spyder as well

    I picked up my RT about a month ago. I put 60 miles on her. Love it so far. Sold an HD FLHX, long story on that one. I've been reading this forum for years. I hope this Roadster works out for me...can't wait for spring.

    Don't consider this a compromise for your old knees, think of it as finally growing up!

    Harley's are all kinds of fun, but I'll bet you find them collecting dust in a few months.

    Of course! Are you familiar with the "Mentor Magazine"? My brother is the publisher of that.

    Kudos to your brother. That's a great source of coupons from area businesses.
