    Default Got the Spyder out of mothballs today

    The sun was finally shining today up here in northern VT, so I got the RT out of hibernation and went for a short ride. Went by the local dealer and they had a Ryker sitting out front so I stopped in. They let me take it for a ride. Fast little bugger, ride was a little rough on our frost heaves and pot hole roads. Not something I would buy. My sorry butt was glad to get back on the RT.

    Does it feel good to back the saddle again! I got my spyder out of hibernation last week.
    Maybe we will see you on the VT roads sometime/somewhere.


    Have a safe riding season.

    Ha, I test rode that Ryker today too. I bought one when I got back to the dealer. Very much like an RS. I thought it rode well actually. I did turn the rear shock down to 1 from 4.
