    Red face New Guy and One Happy Guy

    By way of introduction I'm Curt Givens from Dayton, Ohio and yesterday the adventure began. I picked my 2012 Spyder RT-S up at ASK Powersports in Grove City (near Columbus) and along with my friends on a Spyder and a Harley and the wife in the Soul we headed back to Dayton on some really nice country roads. Eighty six miles on the odo and I backed him into the garage for the night. More than ever convinced I made the right choice.

    That's 86 more miles than I had before yesterday. I retried in 2010 and learning to ride getting licensed and getting the Spyder have been high up on the bucket list. After my friend Chris got his it all moved to the top. Got the learner's permit in August, took the MSF course in September and road the Spyder home yesterday. Life is Good.

    This is SO ironic. I picked up my new RT A&C October 4th and rode home some 200 miles with my lovely wife following in behind with a........guess what......wait for it....... Yes, a Kia Soul, which we both love. Ain't that cool. Anyway, I know you're just as excited as I am. I almost can't wait for Winter to be over already for a whole summer of riding. Here's to you and many happy miles. Congrats. Now there's work to do.....Pictures
