    Default FIRST RIDE OF 2015

    The weather was great and I had the day off, so I prepped the spyder and took a quick ride (140 miles). Saw about 30 other bikes and even seen a Slingshot in Hell (Michigan). The Spyder performed flawlessly as always, now only if the weather would stay like this.

    We had 4 days of great riding weather (90 yesterday) here in Huskerland, however, today it's in the 40's... :-(

    We pick ours up from the dealer after a state inspection and oil change. I will ride it home, temp should be around 50. After that not planning much until it gets a bit warmer in southern PA.

    Went for my first Spyder ride of the year this morning, 32 degrees at launch time in the middle of Minnesota. We're still chasing snow for snowmobiling, but today I just had to go out for a ride on wheels. What fun!

    Default First Ride of 2015. Missed this thread

    Still in 3000 mile breakin period on my 2014 RT L, but a good start to the 2015 riding season. Almost 800 miles this last weekend. in the Texas Hill country. Would of had more but the wife fell and hurt her hand when we stopped to check out a guest ranch. Off to CVS and to find a clinic for X-rays. The weather was great and traffic not as bad as I thought during spring break. Getting the belt vibration about 75 mph. May have to look at Spyderpops tensioner.

    I saw 2 Spyders on the road this trip. Fredericksburg, San Antonio, Bandera County then back home to West Texas.
