New guy from North Alabama

[NorthAlabamaSpyder]

Morning folks. This is my first Spyder (f3-S) and I must say, it is different from anything I have ever ridden. 51 years on a motorcycle, it is going to take some getting use to. Any way I hope I don't ask too many questions. Thx

[Bob Denman]

Please feel free to ask anything that comes to mind: we love questions!
of your bike?

Welcome from Central Washington. You are gonna love the Spyder; I came from the same place on 2 wheelers a little over 2 years ago and have never looked back. Ask away, good folks on here to help you out.

... your new Spyder. I'll add - be sure to read the "Dos and Donts" posting... http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...-Spyder-owners - I learned a lot from that. Welcome to SpyderLovers!

[PrairieSpyder]

Ask away about anything you want. We like to talk about Spyders!

You may find some helpful info in the Do's and Don'ts thread.

on your new Spyder and welcome from Florida. After two weeks of riding the everything will just come natural to ya!
Cheers!

and on the new F3-S. Others have you covered with the Do's & Don'ts thread. Most find the information very helpful. It's going to take about 500 miles, but your going to like it a lot.

Welcome from Hazel Green. I'm still getting used to the Spyder also. I have thought about getting rid of it and going back to Harley, but after riding all this week in the rain I may have changed my mind. Its the only ride I have after bending my tie rod on my Jeep rock crawling a couple weeks ago.

How many miles does it take (avg.) before an x-biker gets used to the seemingly sensitive steering..? Especially in curves ..!
thanks

That sucks! I traded in my JK with a 4" lift and Mickey Thompson 35's a couple years ago... and I miss it sooo!!! Well, I don't miss it when I have to drive on the interstate, but other than that... I LOVED that vehicle. Are you by chance a member of any of the local jeep groups?

[Bob Denman]

Did somebody mention Jeeps?

We're waiting for this one to hit the market!

I figure that it's as close as I'll ever get to another "FC"...

[adzgrrrl]

I am actually in Huntsville

We three need to meet up one weekend and go for a ryde together. I don't think I've ever seen more than one spyder at a time here in Huntsville. People won't know what to think!

I saw a video online of a spyder build that a shop in Tennessee did for a girl from Madison. It was GORGEOUS!!! I am keeping my eyes peeled for her when I am out and about.

[Bob Denman]

Now I REALLY like the way that you think!

For the record: this is the one that I would like to see in the garage:

But I'd never turn down one of these either!

Me and a couple buddies started Rocket City Wranglers about a year ago or so. We have over 400 members now, and do a ride about once a month and an annual offroad driving class for new Jeep owners that join us.

About 300+. I came off a 99 Electra Glide and have 1000 or more on the RT I inherited from my dad. I'm starting to like it a little more, but it is taking a while.

Depending on the day I could probably squeeze in a meet and ride.
