    Smile NKOB

    HI All,
    NKOB [new kidz on the block] Picked up our new CANAM SPYDER RT LTD. AND RT622 TRAILER. [Pearl white and just a ton of fun] this afternoon at Lifestyle in Mt Vernon Washington. Great dealer, friendly, helpful and courteous. Had zero miles on it when we picked it up and now it's got 74 miles on it. I'm going to have a hard time going to sleep tonight. My wife says she hasn't seen me smile like this FOR A LONG TIME. Looking forward to many many miles, and smiles.
    Keep on Rydin'

    Great ride, miles will fly by

    • Keep the foot off the brake until you need it
    • Shift gears at 5000 RPM, keep engine above 4300 RPM
    • Relax the grip on the handle bars on the freeway


    Tons more tips on the site

    Enjoy the ride

    +1 on the above. Congratulations . . . you are in for great times! I got my 2013 Pearl White RT Limited on June 5. It took a little while to realize the Spyder likes RPMs - it will, for example, easily cruise at 65 in 4th gear and lugs the engine if you drop below 4300 and try to accelerate . . . 992 miles, so far, and it is the most fun I've had in years! If it will just stop raining most days, the miles on the odometer will quickly begin to climb!

    Hi Spyderkidz - Saw your Spyder last week when I was at Lifestyles. Looking very good. Got mine a month ago from them and they are good people. If you want to do some riding to get the 600 miles done quickly, send me an email and I'll ride with you. I'm in Anacortes at Fidalgo RV Park for the summer. Ride safe with high rpms.

    Default Hey Sarge

    Hi,
    Always good to hear from fellow "blue suiters" Sounds like you Spyder is seeing lots of road time. That's our goal too. I kept the Spyder wound up good on the initial ride home last night and it really does make a difference you can hear it in the pipes. Ever out this away give us a holler.

    HI,
    Can't say enough good about the folks at Lifestyles. A real stand up operation.
    We do want to do some riding, it was a hoot last night coming home. Hardly new the trailer was on behind. Can't this weekend, have to attend a wedding in Bellvue, but maybe some day next week??
    Keep on rydin'

    Default Hi fellow West Coasters

    Thanks for the 'welcome' and we'll try to get some photos up in the next day or so. We are just 15 miles from the Canadian border and you folks are just a tad from the Mexican border, I think we got the west coast covered
    Thanks again,

    Congratulations on your new spyder. You have a beautiful area to ride in. I know, I worked Skagit, Island and Whatcom counties for 37yrs am now over on the east side( temporarily). I picked up my new Yellow RT-S on 06-01-13 and have 3700 miles on it already( real easy to do). Hope to see you on the road as I go over there when North Cascade Pass is open, at least 5 times a summer. Once that area is in your blood you can take a vacation but you have to go back.
