Newbie saying hello

[IndyRSS]

I just pulled the trigger on a gently used 2012 RS-S tonight. I decided the risk of continuing to ride on two wheels with diminished feeling in my feet was a bad idea. I had spinal cord surgery about 11 years ago and had continued to ride up till 2011 without real issues when I decided to switch to sport cars. Fun - not the same. I had toyed with a Harley trike conversion but honestly just really liked the Spyders when they came out in and the time was right.

So really looking forward to get it home, putting some miles on it locally to get the hang of it and go from there. And tonight, I am looking forward to digging into the forums to get a little more knowledgeable.

EDIT - added some pics once I got it home and cleaned up a bit this evening. First ride was awkward at first but by the end I didnt want to get off of it!

Welcome aboard!!
Congrats on deciding to keep your face in the wind. As others stated - you will love it. Keep a light grip on the handlebars as the Spyders react to your input. Think of holding a raw egg in each hand that you do not want to break - light but firm grip.
