Got the new RT today.
Hi folks,
Just a follow up note to say we got the new RT today. Extraordinary machine. Will need a week - or two, to just learn how everything works. "Although"......... I did have a PMPM (AKA: poop my pants moment) on the first highway curve. Been riding two wheels for the better of thirty years. Surprise time going around the first tight sweeper on the road. Turned the right way - just never expected that much G-force. Did learn to relax the grip from the do's and don't section (thank's). Still A LOT twitchier than a two wheeler. All in all, a good ride bringing it home from the dealer.

Baloo is my name. Spyders are my game. Well, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, yes, it's a doo-bah-dee-doo, I mean a doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee, doo-bee-dee-doo. And, well, now. Ha ha! What have we here?

Time to ACCESSORIZE!!
You are going to want to get some things now! I would start with the bumpskid plate (with LED's!!). It is hard to gauge where your nose is, and the first time you hear a "scrunch" and scratch your nose on a parking lot concrete block you will cry . Easy to install with a pair of plastic ramps. Then for safety - not much light on the backside - the trunk brake LED kit and turn signal kit. All from the sponsors on main page!!
