Hi folks~
I "was" a long time HARLEY rider until this past weekend. Several Spyder riders came to my home to have "Spyderpops" do his magic to their bikes. My husband owns a Spyder, though I've never ridden it. Anyhoo, after meeting a really fun group of folks and hearing about all their wonderful riding adventures I was encourage to "try one out." So, I sweet talked the hubby into letting me take his out for a spin while he was at work this past Tuesday. It was a VERY WINDY:yikes: day, but OMG beautiful. He has a 2013 RT. WOW, What a rush! After getting rid of my "phantom left foot clutch" issue, I managed to head out to some twisty country roads and a highway. I had a Huge Grin upon my return and just knew I had to have one these bad boys! :ohyea: So, I found a matching 2013 QUANTUM BLUE one in town for a steal and jumped on it. Traded in my '08 H-D Softail Heritage Wednesday afternoon. I take delivery of MY new Ride tomorrow at 11 a.m :yes:
Hubby and I look forward to many miles riding together as well as meeting and making new friends in the Spyder community!

Just amazing what happens when you have a bunch of Spyder owners over for an alignment party. She really is stoked. Did all the dickering and futzing around with the dealer herself and got a damn good deal on a new RT-S.
Course now that Louise is here, no more talking about all the farkles I never bought.....
Congrats dear. Gonna be fun.

Congratulations and welcome to the club!!!! :thumbup:
You will be wearing that proverbial grin for many, many miles.
I love riding the Can Am because it just gives you more relaxing opportunities to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the
company of great Can Am owners.

CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome... I understand completely. I bought a 2013 ST Limited last Memorial Day week and sold my "old friend" (2003 Harley FLHTI that I had bought new) a few months later. My husband then got bit...bought him a 2012 RT S and sold his FLHRCI.
Have fun!
