Spyder coming soon!

[GeorgeT]

Hello all! I have been scoping out this site for about a year. I had a car accident two years ago and had to have a complete knee replacement last Sept. as a result of the accident. I have two Harleys but I just don't feel comfortable trying to ride them now. So I just purchased dtangs' 2008 Spyder, Deb and her husband are going to deliver it this saturday. Needless to say I'm getting excited, even though it will go into the garage until spring. I hope this satisfy's my wind in the face needs, and I'm sure it will. These bikes look so cool and you don't see them around my area much, that appeals to me as well. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions as time goes by. George

:congrats: and :welcome:

I've traveled many miles with that Spyder and those folks and you couldn't be buying it from nicer people. Hope you get as much enjoyment as they did. Maybe see you at Spyderfest. :doorag:

We hate losing DTang and BJT, but we're always happy to get a new SpyderLover!

If you're coming of motorcycles give the Spyder some time to grow on you. It doen't happen to everyone but there have been some of us who, coming off motorcycles, had some great misgivings about the Spyder in the beginning. It may feeling twitchy and unstable to you. That is the way I started out.

I was actually afraid to go over 45 mph on my first, short ride. I am still amazed at how unconfortable I felt on the Spyder. It wasn't the Spyder, it was all me!

Once I learned to relax and let the Spyder do most of the work everything fell into place. I am glad I gave the Spyder a fair chance.

Welcome to Spyderworld!!!!:spyder2::thumbup::ani29:

:welcome:and :congrats: on the new ryde. Like BajaRon said: there is a learning curve if coming off motorcycles. I found it took me about 500 miles before I was comfortable with :spyder2:. There is a tendency to overcontrol and that is what makes the :spyder2: feel like it has a mind of its own. See how little input you can put into the handle bars.

Once you start ryding, don't hesitate to post any questions. There are a lot of great people on the site.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I'm sure there is going to be a learning curve on this:f_spider:. I don't know if I'll be ready for a long trip in time for the Fest, but maybe a good long day trip would be a good thing:yes:? BMW, we'll have to stay in touch for a spring meetup, Robinson is very close. Later, George

:congrats: and :welcome: If there are not many :spyder2: in your area, you might want to add some extra time to answer all the questions you'll get. :thumbup:

[GeorgeT]

Just checking in, thanks again for the warm welcome. chickenhoose, might have to head south and meet up sometime, I know it's nice down your way. Mr Orange, I hope I can get in some riding time so I'm secure on the :f_spider: before Fest time. I'd like to get there for sure.

George, I told you these folks would treat you right. Can't wait to meet up with you Saturday and deliver your new baby. It has given me many miles of smiles and some of the best friends in the world. We may not have spyders anymore but you all can't get rid of us that easy.

[GeorgeT]

Well, it's Wednesday, only a couple more days and I'll really be a :spyder2: owner! :yes: And Deb everyone has been great, we'll see how they are when I start asking the really dumb questions.JK
I won't really have the time to be a power rider like some of you folks for a couple years, but wait til then! Oh Ya!

[dltang]

We are ready to leave in the morning George. Here are some photos of your new baby packed and ready to go.
