First Ride

**Laura-NH** · 03-21-2010, 08:57 AM

I picked up my new RT-S yesterday. It is AWESOME! I LOVE IT! The blue looks great in the sunlight. I heard it's faster too! he he

I thought there would be a longer period of adjustment, but I feel totally comfortable on it. I think it's because I don't have extensive motorcycle experience. I have only been riding for a couple of years. I do have experience with ATVs. I think that has helped as well. My husband said that the most relaxed ride he's been on with me on my own bike. He knew I was fine when I kept riding up on him and wanting him to go faster!

Now I just need to find something to put my 4 pound Chihuahua in so she can go for a ride. She does fit in the frunk - I put her in there and took a picture.

Now to go sit in the garage and play with all the settings!

Did I mention I LOVE MY

Congrats on your new ride, what I have been using for my 5 1/2 lb Maltese "DooLittle" is this carrier . https://www.gwlittle.com/product/dog...airline_travel

I have the carrier slung over my shoulder so it rests in front of me. There is an inside strap to fasten to her harness. She
likes to rest her head out the right side opening.
It has an adjustable shoulder strap. and for $69 very reasonable

When riding I always have the front zipped up, there is also a front storage area to stow her doggles and other essentials

enjoy your new ride

That looks like it might work for me! I prefer to have her where I can see her, but don't want her in my way.

Thanks!

Congrats on your new rYde.

As for your pooch - put her in a hot dog roll and use string cheese to tie her in.

Just kidding, I love all dogs, have three of my own!!!

Hi Laura, I also picked up an RT-S last week and live in Derry, NH! I have a black one though.

**Laura-NH** · 03-28-2010, 08:12 AM

Congratulations! Were you on Route 102 near the intersection with Route 28 last Saturday? We drove by on the way to the Derry Restaurant and saw one parked.

Where did you get yours?
