Here there! Yes, we have met! Good to hear from you.
Thanks for the offer to ride, that's so nice of you. I doubt we make many events this year, with work, we just don't have much vacation time to spare. We're spread way too thin.
Fortunately, we do have dealers really close to us that are more than willing to let us ride. 
I have rode the RT and it was just such a departure from 2-wheeling. I just wanted to be sure it was the right fit for me. I do believe the RS fits me better and with the mods some of the others have suggested, I can make it an even better fit.
Since we had the Valkyrie, and she was available for triking, it added another layer to the decision of what I wanted to do. Guess that's a great position to be in.

now, part of that may be me being away from riding so long and just getting used to it again. part of it is surely my weight (almost 300 lbs.).
you may want to consider the comfort seat of a Corbin.
once i fully decide on whether to add a riser (already have the BRP 1") to get a better angle i am then going to tackle which windshield i really prefer (have the sport - standard on the RS) over the sport/touring. probably going to a CalSci Tinted Shorty. bigger than s[port/touring, but not a TRUE touring windshield so i will still get plenty of air.
just remember: BRP has 3 different windshields so check those out too to see which fits more of the style/ryde you want.
Thanks for the feedback from a new owner! More stuff to check out. Guess I'm going to have to write all this down. LOL

Looking, too.
I've not had a chance to ride either the RT or the RS, yet. Hopefully that will change after this weekend. Going to make it to Spyderfest on Saturday. I have to admit that just the looks of the RS is much more appealing to me than the RT. And, my sweetie doesn't like the looks of the RT at all. It's funny how individual tastes are isn't it? I look forward to hearing your reflections on your experience of riding the RS.

Yes, individual style has a lot to do with choices. I didn't mind the look of the RT. For me, I'm not a huge fan of the large backrest for passengers (not a GW fan either). Getting off/on without kicking bags would take some getting used to (yes, I'm ____ about scuffs too).
Let me know you're experience as well, I'd be interested to hear your views too.

Is that why you had the Valkie rather than a 'Wing? My Missus and I have found that the more places you can hide stuff, the more stuff you end up carrying all the time... When you run out of room you either buy a trailer or a larger touring rig!

Thanks! It may be hard to part with her but we're thinking about it.

The most fun part of the whole deal is the shopping! 
It's nice to know that there are options out there...
