... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

I felt the same way but love my Spyder better. Enjoy your ride and ride safe.

From NH here too. Though, I see you are smart and probably go to Florida for the winter.
I'm on the coast near Portsmouth. Give me a PM if you want to go riding together this summer.

Thanks! Yes, we are in Meredith, NH all spring and summer and head south to FL for 4-5 months, bought the 08 here just a week ago, lots to learn about a 3 wheel machine vs 2! Thanks for the invite to ride!

Welcome from one new rider to another!

It's probably easier for those of us that haven't been on 2 wheels to get used to the Spyder, but you'll get used to it in no time at all. Welcome to our group...have fun and be safe.

otherwise, WELCOME to the clutch...
WELL, it happened, my first ride to the gas station and barely off the Spyder and a young guy comes up asking "WHAT IS THAT, who makes it etc etc?!! All I could think of was your response!!
Thanks for the heads up about this HUGE problem, ha ha!
