    Talking What a MACHINE!!!

    Wow is all I can say. When I got home from work for the weekend I went out to the license bureau and got my permit, picked up my new helmet and took this beast for the first ride. Fifty miles later I am totally impressed, the way this thing handles and the confidence it inspires is incredible. When I began this journey of getting a motorcycle I was 100% sure it was a new Indian Chieftain and literally at the last minute one night I ran across a YouTube video about the Can Am Spyder which started me researching and one week later I purchased my own Spyder. The people that haven’t ridden can’t understand the joy of these machines. Anyway this spring, summer and fall are going to be quite fun. This is an awesome group of people on this forum and I am glad to be a small part.

    Default New 2016 RTS

    I just bought a NEW 2016 RTS with 16 miles on it. Cowtown found a '16 RTS still in the crate, assembled it, and I got it. It is awesome. I had a hand brake installed and a dongle for blue tube and helmet to helmet communication. I'll post a picture when I figure out how.
