Hello! Just introducing myself
Hello, everyone! My name is Anita, aka Mama or Mama Phoenix, and I just joined this site. I'm 46 yrs old, I live in middle TN, and I have always loved bikes. Unfortunately, I never actually learned to ryde because of an incident that happened in my early 20s, but I'm about to rectify that. You might say it's the top item of about 5 on my bucket list. If you're interested in my "motorcycle" story, you can check out my post here. Yep, this is such a big thing for me that I had to write about it.
Somehow, I came across a while looking at bikes online, and I thought, "OMG! That's exactly what I need!" I admit, I became slightly obsessed at that point (okay, fully obsessed). You see, I used to be very active and quite adventurous, but a back injury and a few physical issues caused me to be very cautious about everything I do. Once I saw the , I knew it was time to make a change.
So, I hope it's okay that I've joined this site even though I don't have a Spyder yet. I'm slowly working my way towards ownership, so I hope to be blessed with one soon. Even my baby girl is excited about hitting the road. I can't wait to meet all of you and get fully involved in your conversations.
Thanks!
****I apologize if I posted this in the wrong location. I did search for an "Introductions" thread, but I couldn't find one.

Welcome
Welcome Anita.
Everyone has a different reason for ending up here on the Spyder forum. Everything in life including what we experience make us who we are today. Bottom line, if it takes us to a forum such as this it's not such a bad place to be. Please keep us up to date on your status and look forward to your new ride. Don

Please be very careful. A test ride on a spyder would be a very good idea. It should be longer than 5 minutes at 10 MPH.
The reason I say this that the Spyder puts out a lot of heat. There are mods to deal with the heat mostly, but I noticed on your blog that you have fibro and several of my friends who ride with fibro have had to bail out on trips due to fibro related heat issues and they do not ride Spyders. Just sayin test ride and have a big smile and a check when your finished

If you think you were addicted before...... just keep hanging out here.........
Don't pay too much heed to negative posts about problems some owners are having... for the most part people are happy Spyder owners... and people don't generally post when everything is going well.... only when they have a problem.....
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Hello Anita, and welcome to a fine group of people. The spyder has opened doors for a lot that would have been afraid or unable to ride for many reasons. After you get the spyder you may not even get to the other 4 things on your "bucket list".
