    Default Can't wait!

    Hi Everyone, My new ST-S should be ready for pickup next week and I can't wait to hit the road. I am new to this forum and new to Spyder ownership. (I have only rented in the past) I'll keep you posted as I learn the ropes and hopefully I can gain some tips from some of you seasoned veterans

    A good way to break in your new ryde is to ryde across the country stopping at dealerships for scheduled maintenance along the way

    I tried to find the post to link it, but I can't find it either.
    Three in the garage, and I think I can fit at least one more in.....and then we will have to build another garage.
    The roads in NY are so bad that I am glad we bought a Ryker Rally

    Just sayin'............
