My bride is the best
As of Tuesday I have been enjoying my new (to me) ride, bought for us by my bride. Moved from a Goldwing to a 2012 RT and we both love it! Found this forum yesterday and have learned MUCH from those who aren't so new to this form of traveling through life. After 40+ years of doing leg extensions at stops and sometimes arm curls picking up beasts, it is a joy to relax when stopped. Love my (as yet, un-named) bike!

Welcome !
Welcome and enjoy your new ride.
It will not be the perfect machine like the Gold Wing that you had to wrestle to hold up sometime but it sure will be fun. That is a joke for me - every once in a while people get on this forum and complain about why the Spyder isn't as reliable as my trusty old Gold Wing. Curious me always thinks - if the Gold Wing was so stinking good why are you with a Spyder. Not dissing the Gold Wing because we all know it is a great bike.
Love my Spyders

There are many of us on this site that will and could claim their Bride as the "Best" and I'm one of them. All I can say is be VERY careful about letting her on the front seat as she just may go out and buy her own as mine did ! And then you become a two spyder family and have twice the fun but at twice the expense. I myself had been a two wheeler for 50 years and switched over because of the ease and safety. And it's true , Blonds have more fun !

Great spyder choice, my first spyder was a 2012RTS-SE5 A/C,then I upgraded to my current spyder ( a 2014RTS-SE6 Cognac).
Be sure to check the Vendors, ( on homepage), of this site they have a lot of awesome spyder accessories ( farkles) to choose from, and excellent customer service.

THANKS
for all the "welcomes" and advice/tips. Thanks to youngers, I now know exactly what I have (SE5).
BigGuy66, thanks for the link. That is excellent and showed me many of the ways I was improperly riding my bike, particularly the shifting.
al0vely, so far the only thing I miss about my Goldwing is the familiarity.
PrairieSpyder, my wife bought it for me. She tried riding my Shadow and much prefers relaxing and enjoying the ride to being the driver.
Funny addition...I sent a picture to my son (a Victory rider) expecting some grief about switching from the Wing to the Spyder. But it seems that 2 weeks ago HIS bride bought a 2010 Spyder and they were coming over this weekend to surprise us.
Anyway, glad to be a part of the group.

Have fun,
Rob

No collusion there. We had no idea they had bought hers until I sent him a picture of mine. I will ride again tomorrow, weather permitting, and hopefully it was just some bad or stale gas.
It was great to talk to you, as well. I greatly appreciate your expertise!
