Introduction - New Spyder Riders Couple

[spydeyblue]

Hi folks,

I would like to introduce myself, Linda, and my husband, Paul, to the forum! We bought a blue 2012 RT-S SE5 Spyder at the end of July. Both of us wanted something fun we could do together. We considered getting a sports car or a regular two-wheeled motorcycle, but decided on the Spyder instead, because we felt the Spyder would be safer, and less likely to get us into trouble (like speeding tickets)! Both Paul and I have some physical limitations like damaged feet and knees, which make the Spyder a lot better choice for us, over say a fully dressed-out touring motorcycle, like a Victory or a Honda. We did look at a Harley trike, but I didn't like the overall size of it. To me, it looked like a motorcycle front-end joined to a car rear-end, and just too big and bulky overall. So far, Paul and I are having lots of fun riding our Spyder together. We normally ride two-up, and alternate as rider versus passenger. So far, our thoughts are that the Spyder is a great platform, but it definitely could use some help. We have a big wish list of mods to make to our Spyder, so I'm guessing it will be an ongoing project for quite some time! We got to participate in our first Spyder group ride last Sunday, when we joined the Marina Boat and Powersports 2nd Annual Spyder Ride. This ride is a fundraiser for a shelter for homeless women and their children, in Lodi, CA. There were at least 43 Spyders, plus a couple of regular motorcycles and one odd-looking three-wheeled scooter. The event was definitely fun, and we're looking forward to future Spyder events!

Linda and Paul:

Welcome aboard your Spyder and this site.

You are in for loads of fun. It's even better if you each have your own :spyder2:

Enjoy!

[StanProff]

Welcome! you've found the best (in my opinion) spyder site on the net! the folks here are very helpful with any questions you may have and the sponsers on the home page can't be beat. You can spend a lot of time on the sponser page looking for that one farkle (or 12) that you just can't live without. That is part of the fun for me with the spyders, you will hardly see two alike as everyone makes them "their own". The spyder is a blank canvas to paint on. Make it yours and have great enjoyment doing so.

:yes: We are new to the :spyder2:also. Have had ours just a couple of weeks, coming from a two wheeler it is very different but we are enjoying it very much so far. Had to tighten the front shocks to the 5 setting helped a lot. This forum is very helpful. Thanks. Oh for the record I am Kerry and my wife is Billie.
