    Default Newbie here!

    Hi guys! I ride a 2018 Road King Special. My wife wanted her own bike but didn't want to hold up and balance a 2 wheel bike. She bought a black 2014 STS. She just signed up for a MSF course and will have her license soon. She's been riding it around the neighborhood.. lol Here's the thing.. I want one! I like riding it better than my Harley! I will have one! lol It will be a little bit before I can get one but I will be selling or trading in my Road King! I like to work on my own stuff within my ability so i'm here to learn all I can. Anyway.. Hi, I'm Alan

    I can understand you wanting one. After 68 years on 2 wheels, I made the switch to 3. I can still ride a 2 wheeler, but do I want to? Heck no! I can't believe Spyder can be more fun, take curves faster and still eliminate the fears and worries that I had on 2 wheels.
    Do it....you will not regret it. Incidentally, I've had 2 TriGlide riders tell me they wish they got a Spyder.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

    Lots here have come from large 2 wheel motorcycles. You're in good company. I still ride my poor, old, slow V-Max but it's not a 900 pound bagger.
