From Harley to Spyder RT Limited

[kngfsh27]

I recently sold my beloved '99 Harley Softail and bought a 2014 RT Limited. My wife and I were going to lunch to celebrate my birthday and just happened to stop at the Can Am dealer on the way. We went in only to look around. After 20 minutes of visiting with the salesman, my wife was in love with it. We went on to lunch with my wife looking at the brochure through our meal. After we ate, we went back and made the purchase. I got it home on 11/18. I finally got to take it out last weekend due to the weather. After a 300 mile Saturday ride, I am not looking back. What a fun ride. Amazing how fast I got used to no clutch, no hand brake and keeping my feet up at stops. The only negative is, this thing wants to speed. I will learn to hold it back. Looking forward to warm weather.

Like your story. I switched from 2 wheels to the spyder in October and love it as well. You're right about it wanting to go quickly. My wife couldn't ride the 2 wheeler due to her MS but she loves the spyder as do I. Have over 1100 miles on it so far and like you and all the others, waiting for better weather. Have fun.

My wife couldn't ride on my Harley due to her back. She is really excited about getting to ride again. It does look nice in my Harley garage.

I was riding a 2010 Harley Ultra Limited which I put 30K miles on prior to purchasing my 2014 RTS. No regrets for me either, especially when I'm sitting in traffic! I can't wait to take some trips with my newly acquired 622 trailer in tow.:doorag:
