    Default RT

    Well I finally pulled the trigger on an RT. I looked around a found a 2012 RTS that had zero miles on it and the price I could live with and a fair trade in price on my2008 RS. Drove 354 miles to East Coast Cycle Center and trailer it home yesterday. Long day and alot of driving. To tired to unload it last night so I told my Buddie that trailered it for me that I was going home to bed. I went out this morning after it warmed up a bit and got it out of the trailer. The wife likes it and I managed to put a hundred miles on it this after noon. I really should have done this sooner. With bad knees and back this is a much better ride. Well here is a pic and hope to see some folks on the road.The Riders 04 01 2014.jpg

    Great find! I imagine locating a new 2012 at this point has got to be tough. Congratulations.

    She's a beauty! I'm sure you'll love it, as we do our pearl white RTL, also a 2012.

    Now, did you really mean zero miles, literally? Meaning the dealer didn't even do a shakedown test run after assembly? Mine had 6 miles and the salesman specifically explained everything they look for on this initial test run.

    Default Blue and New

    Congrats on the New Blue '12
    I am sure Blue is the fastest color, it's even faster with GT stripes on it Mine thinks it is a '68 mustang GT. (I should have never let that car go!!).
    Happy Spyderlovers

    When I pulled it out of the trailer and was bringing it home I watched it roll over to 1 mile then on from there. Put a total of 90 some miles on yesterday and runs great. The wife is off today so we are going on another short ride so she can get a feel for the ride.
