    Default Was price better down there?

    Hope you have a safe trip take your time getting used to it on your way home especially the cornering at first it is very different than a regular motorcycle. But just stick with it and enjoy, the more you ride it the more you will like it. Are you getting a new or a used one?

    Hi Marc and Kay! Welcome to the group! I'm relatively new to the group, too! I have just over 1000 miles on my 2016 RT-S and am enjoying it more and more every day! I live in IL but my cousin lives in Burlington MN. I try and get up there as often as I can. Maybe we can hook up some time next season.......

    PapaHotel ...................... your new Spyder is not in Alabama, it is in Arkansas, if you go to Alabama you will have a long walk to my house in Arkansas.

    Default Price better down south?

    Well yes and no. You have to be looking for a time before one smacks you with "I gotta by this." This is what made me willing to purchase long distance. I bought this machine because it is a tremendous value, however I missed one in Wisconsin that was as good of a value, but I delayed too long. This particular machine has more miles than some, but the current owner added so much value, I consider it a blessing to be the one first in line on this bike. You have to do a lot of comparing comparing model, equipment, mileage and price. I feel pretty blessed with this purchase.

    Congrats on purchasing Joes RT. Joe is a great guy and maintains his Spyders, so you did well picking up his.
    Look forward to riding with you.
