    Default Checking in to say hi!

    Hi, All

    After riding on two wheels off and on since 1968, last month I bought a new leftover 2011 Spyder RT-AC, primarily because my legs aren't what they used to be and riding two up with my wife on two wheels was becoming problematic. A week after I bought the beast I rode it from St Louis to Melbourne, FL...we're in the middle of moving from StL to FL...in two days. Quite the ride! I'm hoping to get lots of tips and good info on this forum. Looks like it'll be a lot of fun!

    Forgot to say that I also got the trailer and towed it down when I made the ride.

    You came to the right place and there are a lot of us that did the same thing you did. I too was a 2 wheeler and changed for the same reason you did. Wife and I just got back from a 150 mile ride today up around colonial Williamsburg and the colonial parkway. it was a great day.
    so to the forum

    I rode two wheels for several years and than relesid that when you get older things like legs, backs, and other things don't work as well. I bought a Spyder and could not be happier. The wind is still in my face and everything is good.

    Did you ride in the Welcome Home from Iraq parade in St Louis? I remember talking to a couple with a white Limited (I was on my V Star 1300 then) and they (you?) really got me interested in the Spyder.

    Yup...I found them right away and had them do the 600 mile service (at 1200 miles...) the day after I got in. Great people!
