    Default I am Spyder Driver

    Took delivery of our SPYDER Thursday .... 2013 yellow RT-S. then drove it home to Montana from Portand, Or.. 1100 miles......I can not be more thrilled. As many of you have commented....it does take about 300 miles to get a handle on the steering ....once you do...it's a dream... I encountered a lot of wind and I had little problem.......

    were planning several trips already for this summer.....

    pylot = Spyder - incomparable experience, highly addictive

    1100 miles, nice first ride

    I was at my dealers today and a guy was picking up his new RT. He only had a permit but was riding it 350 miles back home. The wind is 15+ mph with gusts >30 mph. I hope he gets used to the RT real quick and understands its not the Spyder but the wind trying its best to pull him off the seat. I was riding and my helmet was acting like a parachute trying to lift me off the seat or just take my head.

    RT-S: HMT brake light, mud flap lights/turn signals, Trailer hitch, Garmin 660 GPS, Ride-On, Travel cover, LED Mirror turn signals, LED trunk lighting, RGB ground effect lighting, BajRon anti-sway bar, to be continued ......
