    Do yourself a HUGE favor, read the operator's guide thoroughly.

    Last ride in Destin today, back to the great white north tomorrow.
    1. light grip on the handles. 2. Don't change lanes REAL fast when passing or you'll go off the road. Yeah, I almost did that. 3. Don't be shy, drive it like you stole it and you'll get used to it in a hurry.

    Personally, I'd suggest you find and take a Motorcycle Safety course. I took one soon after I bought my '14 RT and it made all the difference in the world. I could ride safer and better... Worth the weekend and money.

    Welcome from another former (Retired) blue suiter. Welcome to the spyderverse, spyder lovers, and a great community of like minded ryders.
    I hope Hurricane Michael didn't hurt you too bad, and that recovery is well on it's way down there.
    Safe Rides,

    Strrange that nobody suggested taking the Motorcycle Safety Foundation two day safe ryding course. Take It. It is money well spent. I've recommended it before and so, now again. It made me a much better ryder. I hope you have many many safe miles on the machine.

    You'll like it! But fair warning...after the warranty expires be prepared to sink $$$ in to regular maintenance by a dealer. Best to know (or learn) how to DIY. Lots of help available on this site. Great bunch of people.
