Hi all! I am new to the forum. Wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I have had my Spyder RT for about a year now and was just told about this place. I first started out with a trike and hated it. Man do I love my Spyder. Still getting use to the curves with it but all in all I am very happy. :D

Welcome to the forum . :yes:

It sure is funny how some guys that don't post often or ever , will welcome the girls to the forum :shocked: -- it's that way on every forum though .

You have a year of experiences on the spyder to share . We would love to hear your reviews.
my wife is really starting to pressure me to ride my RSS , and I can tell we will be buying an RT at some point .

Thanks for all the welcomes. Makes me feel at home!...Someone asked about my experience with my RT since I have been riding it for about a year. I am loving it but still getting us to the curves. I get kind of scared around them especially if it's a down hill slope with curves. I tend to slow down abit. My husband says that I'm getting better with my speed. lol He rides a Harley CVO. With having a reg. trike before the RT, all I can say is the best thing I ever did was get the RT.

I look forward to meeting other spyder riders soon! :thumbup:

Welcome to the forum. This is a great place to hang out and get all of your Spyder info. :thumbup:

It took me a little bit to get the cornering down too. Like you, I was slowing down to take a corner because my RT felt like it wanted to wallow around and it didn't feel very stable. I found some great tips on the forum that helped me. Air up the front tires to 18-20 lbs. Put 28-30 lbs in the rear tire. Stiffen up the front shocks to the 4 or 5 setting. When you corner, lean towards the hand that is pulling the handlebar toward you. After a while, you will get the hang of it and you won't over exagerate your leaning. It will become second nature.
