Joined the ranks today

We were kind of procrastinating about buying the Spyder or not, until I went on a dealer's web site that had Can-Am's huge incentive program that included one-thousand dollars in free accessories and three year extended warranty no charge. Add that to a $14085.00 price tag and the fact that the incentive expired today, well, we bit the bullet and bought it. Beautiful red that matches our truck. Got the super tall windshield, rack and passenger back rest courtesy of Can-Am. This was new in the crate and had all of the "work" done to the bike prior to leaving the factory a short time ago. I sat there while they built it. Cool. As for riding the bike the 35 miles home, because I had 14 years experience riding a hack, the Can-Am was an easy transition. Well, on straight line roads anyway. I had the suspension adjusted to near max for my um, svelt figure so it wouldn't wallow, but I found myself getting a tad stupid on the sharp turns, trying to "get the feel" if you will. I'm sure I must have looked a tad strange as I wobbled around a while until I figured out that smooth inputs make a great ride. Tomorrow, the wife and I head out for a break in ride. Oh, yes the bike feels very stable and safe, the only issue was people staring at the bike and wandering too close to me.

:congrats: & welcome Everyone that I know that has ridden a hack was incredibly pleased with the Spyder. All the same principles apply, but remember it steers the same in both directions! Enjoy the Ryde!

If you think people have wandered too close to you so far, just wait until you stop for fuel. I have had my Spyder for almost 2 months now, and still am not able to just gas and go as people are always coming up and asking questions about it. If you make plans for a long ride, make sure you have some flexibility in your schedule.
