Finally got my Spyder home

[vrider]

Today I picked up my Spyder from the dealer. My house is about 10 miles from the dealer but it took my 120 miles to get home. I guess I took the long way home.

Thanks to everyone on the forum for the tips you gave me. The most important one was to not put a death grip on the handle bars and relax. When I first took off from the dealer I held the handle bars pretty tight and wow it felt like it was all over the road. As soon as I relaxed a bit and went with the flow it drove like a dream.

One thing I notice right away about riding the Spyder. Everyone looks. Had a family playing basketball stop playing and watch me go by. Harley riders were waving. People walking on the street completely stopped and stared as I went by. Passed several police cars and they waved. This never happened on my two wheel bike. Crazy.

The second thing. My wife went for a ride, we took it to go have dinner and she likes it.

Awesome day with the new Spyder.

:congrats: on the new :spyder2: Those 100 mile + rides do happen a lot. My quarter mile to the mail box is never less than 50 miles, and most of the time 100+.

I meet the nicest people every time I stop for gas. Almost every time, someone asks me if it's as much fun as it looks. I always enjoy talking to them. Most will have pretty cool stories about bikes they have owned or places they have ridden. Motorcycle riders seem to be a community and I love feeling like a member.:clap:
