Just purchased a Brand new Timeless Black RT-S and I'm completely physced. I have been riding all kinds of bikes, three wheelers & quads most of my life and nothing compares to this. Although I'm sad that my Harley has taken second in my choice of rides me and my girlfriend have put more miles on the Spyder in the last couple of days than we would put on the Harley in a month. This has given us a renewed enthusiasm in motorcycling which has been exhilarating. Not to mention the attention this thing gets as there are no other Spyders in my area that I'm aware of. We've been to 2 bikenights in our area since the purchase and not only were we accepted amongst all the Harley guys we couldn't get away from the Spyder through the deluge of questions(this may get old lol). We live in the Oklahoma City metro area and if there's anybody in the area with a Spyder that wants to ride let me know. I also want to apologize in advance for all the newbie questions that I may ask (I promise I will search before I post a question lol). I've read through these threads and my head is swimming with the potential mods that can be made to these machines. I look forward to getting to now this forum and the Spyder lovers here. Thanks, Ricky

Hey Poolratt, I have had my RT for about two weeks now and it has been total bliss. I don't miss my Harley at all. My wife's riding as my co-pilot has increased ten fold.
