Ie been a rider for 4+ decades. I road a spyder long ago. Scared a Cr*p out of myself. But remained spyder curious. After 8 yrs or so I finally broke down in a moment of weakness and procured a 2012 RS. I've had it nary 2 weeks, most of which was pouring rain and time spent getting her plates.
I have found out very quickly they are not monsters. They are quite enjoyable and, as I am learning quickly, very addictive. So much for promising Doc, family and my body that I had quit riding.
So with my work schedule I'm pretty much relegated to commuting. That said, my commute is 50 mi each way. I need to carry a bunch of "stuff" back and fourth. As I am investigating means to do so with the RS and I reading and have a strong yearning for a cognac RT which then would also be equipped with the new engine and tranny. Though I still love the white and black.
I haven't even posted my vehicle here yet and have several folks locally asking to pursue purchasing mine. This would release me to hunt for what I perceive to be a solution ( not to mention I was riding an orange GL1800 (wing) when I stopped riding 1-2 years back).
I am not a well to do individual, in fact I am still recovering from being unemployed for 2 years, so I need to factor that in, i.e. implore some logic and common sense. :banghead:
Sooooo, If anyone is otherwise bored, I wanted to implore the collective for their thoughts noting many of you have experience with the different models, engines and use scenarios.
If not, have a great weekend.
