    Default Purchased Spyder RT-SE5 from GrandPot, MSF Class & LOVE the ride

    Hi fellow Spyder Lovers!
    I purchased a 2011 Spyder RT-SE5 from GrandPot out of SC.
    GrandPot was fabulous in explaining all the features of the Spyder.
    I have since taken an MSF Spyder Class, already had my M license, wanted formal training on the Spyder (it was a very informative class).
    Have been riding since I bought the Spyder and enjoying immensely!
    (Recently moved from Chicagoland to Northern Georgia to enjoy all the beautiful roads to ride. Have been visiting family bi-yearly to ride with them, now I can ride all the time...)
    My sister bought one too, 2013 Spyder RT-SE5. We will be riding together.
    They are so much FUN!!!

    Got a Mustang GT. Varooom! Also, still have my Valkyrie.
    I originally got the Spyder for the wife, but she doesn't want to ride anymore.

    Welcome KLRspyder to the insanity. I love the SE5. 20200515_181519.jpg I hope you and your sister have many miles of smiles. Post early post often about you adventures and post pictures. BTW that flag led on your bike came from mine. It quit and Grandpot said he could fix it so I gave it to him.

    Congratulations! The SM5 & SE5 are excellent rides and underrated, in my opinion. If ridden as designed (keep the RPM's up). They have plenty of power and will scoot when needed. A lot less initial investment and very reliable, once a few modifications are made.

    You should have a fantastic time! The road awaits!
