Hello everyone, my name is Jose and I just got a 08 Spyder GS last week and I get it on Thursday, I dont have a license yet and at the same time Im a disabled vet, so I'm kinda scared. Other than that cant wait to get my hands on it so I can start practicing. Well any questions you have feel free to contact me, dont actually know how to do this, I dont even have a facebook acct so I'm new to all this. Thanx again everyone.

I'm sure you will have a blast, and in no time you will be collecting miles like the rest of us!

:welcome: Read the manual carefully--and watch the video that comes with the Spyder. Dealer may have extras if you did not get one. Good safety and riding tips in the manual. Don't overcontrol--most new riders run into that problem.

I just want to say thank you for the warm welcoming, I feel like I felt when I first walked into my first unit in Camp Lejeune, like I belong to something, thanks again everyone..

Welcome, Pacheco! You have some nice rides awaiting you in your area. I live in Houston (flat land, aghh) and many times will ride over to your area just to find some curvy roads.

When you get all legal and comfortable with your new machine, and you are ready for more that just a local ride, perhaps we could meet about half way. Just PM me and I'll respond.

I know there are a few lurking here but haven't seen any Spyders here save my own .... hope to see a few more soon

When you get the spyder get on it and do the Marine core spyder Ryder chant, one hand on the bike and one on the boy bits "This is my spyder this is my gun, this is for fun, and this is for fun!"

You are going to love your spyder, I don't know what your disability is, but just take things slow and get comfortable with the machine. I am also a disabled vet and when I was able to get my RTS SE5 I was thrilled to death!!!! I am unable to ride a two wheeler. Riding my spyder has been the most freeing experience I could have ever come across.
Enjoy Brother!!
