    I agree with those who suggest getting into the driver's seat as soon as possible. The parking lot exercises are excellent. I think you will feel better and safer as a driver rather than a passenger. I know I do.

    Keep us posted.

    Default New Ryder!

    I purchased my 2008 SM5 GS spyder a few weeks ago. This is my first bike. I now have my permit and will be getting fully licensed very soon. I am so excited to be able to go whenever I want and not have to wait for my husband (I love riding with him but he works shift work so is hard to get the same days off). I haven’t made it to the open road yet but soon. I’m getting very used to riding in town but time to get out and really ride. Im looking forward to finding women in the area that have Spyders or any kind of bike to ride with. I love the Spyder and it was the perfect choice for me!

    Hope you continue to enjoy your Spyder and move up to the front seat and start running it yourself - if it feels great on the back just wait til you are in control - it's wonderful!
