    Default Looks like I finally joined the club

    Just bought a 2020 CanAm Spyder RT base model. First CanAm and first trike. Will be delivered Thursday, then going to go out on a clear day, take it slow on some country roads around here and get to know it a bit.

    Be sure to read the do's and don'ts above as it will answer alot of questions after your first ride. And by all means, drive like a car, not a bike.

    Welcome guys! Only advice from a 3500mi newbee myself is don't try to ride it like a motorcycle. It's more like a really fast & capable golf cart! I still miss the lean but the RT is super fun once you get it set up to your liking.

    Totally agree with Blue Knight, I started my journey with a Spyder F3s, and was overwhelmed by all the info on this site. Also the vibe and the spirit here are awesome.
    the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

    Carbon Items added, just for looks
    Upgraded Shocks Trac-Tive, Rear hi/lo and rebound adjustable, with Hydraulic Pre-Load adjuster

    Congrats, the 2020/2021's are a great step forward, and you'll love your new Spyder. Do check out the do's and dont's (the 2020 is internally still very much like the 2014 RTs forward).
