    Default We got one!

    The wife and I picked up a brand new 2012 RT-S SE5 yesterday! We've been looking for a Spyder for a while and debated on getting a 2013 ST, but couldn't pass up the deal we got on this one. I must say one thing... I never knew how nice heated grips were! It is heavily overcast today but I took some pics anyway as I did not want to get a lot of replies asking for pics - LOL. Can't wait to do more riding... I think we'll have to take it in for the 600 mile service next week.

    and I agree about the heated grips. I used them yesterday and even though it was cold I didn't need gloves, heated grips are a must have option for me from now on.

    200%... I was riding last Saturday and although the weather was at around high 50's low 60's, I wore my thick gloves because I knew I was going to hit fast speeds. Using the low setting on the heated grips came in handy pleanty of times that day!

    Oh... and on the new rYde!!!

    Congrats! I beat myself up over the same dilemma. I decided to go with a 2013, but with some of the deals, it seems like a no-lose situation. Many happy miles!

    LOL, yeah. I took almost 9 hours to go 383 miles on non-Interstate roads from Kodak, TN to Centreville, AL. Lots of stops, lots of stretching, 3 fill ups for a total of 11.3 gallons and 1 stop to eat at McDonald's. Even though it was overcast and drizzly at times, I had my full gear on so I was warm and dry and enjoyed the ride.

    Very pleased with the dealer, Mountain Motorsports and Travis my salesperson.
