New ryde...
Happy New Year, SpyderLovers...
After about 5 years or so of lusting after the Spyder...after about 5 demo rides in the past year or so...after looking semi-actively since May, actively since October...the fine folks over at Smith Marine called me today to say my new ryde is ready
I'll be ryding a new 2016 ST-S in Steel Black Metallic.
I really liked the ST Limited, so I added saddlebags, audio, heated grips...and swaybar, foglights...and a backrest for the missus, who not only encouraged this purchase but also authorized the use of about 50 square feet in the garage.
OMG!
I started riding almost 30 years ago on a Honda Rebel 250, graduated to a Honda Shadow 500, and then the 1996 Yamaha Virago 750 I purchased in 1998.
One day soon, maybe when it breaches freezing here in NJ, my hands will finally wrap around a new, unfamiliar set of grips...and I can begin to ride the rubber right the hell off 'em!
I'll be asking lots of questions and I look forward to learning a lot from all of you and hopefully meeting, greeting and ryding with many of you!
I may have to ask Lamont to change my profile name from Raprider to Rapryder...but y'all can call me...excited beyond words

Thanks and Pics...
Thanks for all your welcomes and well-wishes!
I went over to the dealer yesterday to check out my new ryde with all the accessories they added, go over some of the basics and snap a few photos.
Lead tech Joe spent about an hour giving an overview...started 'er up...whoo-hoo!
Sadly, its about single digits and the recent snow has the roads all crudded up, so it will remain in their garage til...tbd.

good choice
Enjoy your NEW Spyder.. I can only say that of all the vehicles (many) I was always excited for the first 3 or 4 months of driving a new (mostly used) vehicle, then the fun just WASNT there, Ive had my Spyder for 3 years and I enjoy riding ever chance I get, and in Texas we ride all year sorry people up north.. Get used to people wanting to examine your ride and asking questions about the Spyder..
