Okay, I waited a few days but I figure I finally must "break the seal" and post my thousandth post here at Spyderlovers. :yes:
After reading all the great words here at Spyderlovers, I signed up for a trike class and got to ride a manual RT around a parking lot for a weekend getting my M license. I was instantly hooked on the Spyder, and in a matter of weeks, I bought my 2010 Silver RS SE5 in May 2011.
Since then I've put smile-packed 13,000 miles on it-- nowhere near enough miles for as much fun as I have riding it, I only wish I had *more* time to go all the places I can't wait to go. (At least I'll finally make it to an event this year-- Maggie Valley, here I come! :doorag
I've had no major issues to speak of with the bike, minor things here and there but everything one would expect with a high-tech vehicle only a few years removed from its debut. And I trust my Spyder-- it's not just my fun machine; last year I chose to sell my old beater car and rely on the Spyder as my daily driver, and it's been loyal to me, rain, snow and shine.
Now, I ended up spending a lot, LOT more money on the farkles and mods than I ever expected to-- lesson learned when I budget for the NEXT bike!
pps:-- but with few exceptions, it's been a case of getting what I paid for. Too many of you are an inspiration/bad example for mucking around with perfection. 
Bottom line? I'd buy my Spyder all over again tomorrow. Heck, If I had the money, I'd buy a *second* one today. :thumbup:
Lastly, I want to thank Lamont for putting together such a great forum, and also thank all the awesome members here who have always been quick to share fantastic advice, help with a problem, or lend an ear when it's time to rave and rant. Being a part of this community is one of the best perks of being a Spyder owner. :2thumbs:
