    Default I'm in love...again!

    Fell in love with my 2012 RT Limited in May 2012. Fell in love with my new 2014 RT Limited today. Picked up my new baby around noon today. The dealer is about 35 miles from my home but I decided to take the long way home...209 miles later I parked her in my garage.

    It it is what everyone has been raving about and more. All I can say is WOW! Stopped for gas at 151.3 miles and still had a little over 1/4 tank showing on the guage. Put in 4.028 gallons...MPG 35.955...another WOW!

    I'll need to be careful or I may get a ticket...she is so smooth and quick that I found myself going 75+ MPH before I knew it.

    Seems like the rear suspension is stiffer or less forgiving than my 12 RT. Had the air bag set on the softest setting and still seemed like I felt every bump. Gonna check the tire pressure in the morning.

    I know, where's the pics? Maybe tomorrow...but then I may not have time to take pics...weather is gonna be beautiful again tomorrow so I'll be out ryding. Shooting for 3000 miles by 23 April so I can get the first service done before departing for Spyderfest.

    I agree - ride first and baths, pictures, whatever else after. In fact get an extra ride in for us who are still in winters grip

    Cograts on the new and I hope soon to be right behind you in falling in love with my new 2014.

    Thanks R_R. So far very happy with the ryde. 465 miles since yesterday afternoon. Told my dealer that I would be happy to talk with the future owner of my 12 RT-L. You're right...whomever purchases that 12 RT-L will get a very reliable and well farkled 'chine.

    looking forward to see you again at SF. Take. Are my friend. Tell Glo that is one sweet ride she just got.
