Bit the bullet and made deal for 2017 RT. Pick it up tomorrow AM. Started riding at 12. Now 74. Lots of different scooters. Mostly Yamahas. Excited as a teen-ager. And a little anxious. ;)

Relax...you have a good background with many miles so the transition will be smooth. Just relax the grip and things will go well for you. Few hundred miles and you will be a pro...:clap::ohyea:

Congratulations on your new RT! Read the Do's and Don'ts, take your time getting used to the not leaning in corners and you'll soon be grinning from ear to ear!..
I'm only 60 but have done much the same. Did more miles with smiles last year than many before.

If you got it at Hattiesburg Cycle for tech support talk with Jason in the back. Good guy to deal with.

Congrats on your new ryde. It will take some getting used to, as others said. read the stickies and give yourself 500 miles at least before you pass judgement.

Very happy with my 16 RTS. Still keep a two wheeler but spyder miles are about 4 to 1 ..:clap::yes::welcome:

A fresh feel on 3 Wheels and the chance to relearn the feel of the road on three wheels.

You know you'll have to change your name to StarRyder? Many happy Myles of Smyles on your new Spyder.;)

Like the White but LOVED the Blue. :yes:One thing I suggest getting is the Driver Seat Backrest. Rode 3 months without and then got the Driver Backrest, makes Ryding a lot more ENJOYABLE. :thumbup:
