As a brand new Spyder owner, I have been reading quite a bit on this forum and I want to thank you all for your sharing your knowledge. I was especially interested in the subject of RPM's for shifting, especially at 55 mph.

I am 59 and I have had my endorsement for 3 years.I purchased a Yamaha which turned out to be a "painful" experience. I was beginning to think I would be a passenger on the hubby's HD forever..

I have had my Spyder for 5 weeks now and have 676 miles on it. She is going in for her checkup this weekend. I drove it home the first day which was about a 64 mile drive. Hubby was right behind me the whole way. I think I laughed and giggled the whole 64 miles !

Thank you again..RD
