1st time Spyder owner

[AFSpyder]

Well, next week I will take delivery of my 1st Spyder. My dive back into the bike world will be a 2011 metallic grey RS SE5 with touring windshield, 1" riser, comfort seat, fog lights and of course a backrest for the wife. I've been without a bike for about 20 years and really got the itch when a friend of mine got a yellow Spyder and it just plain looked cool. The best part is that there are HD's every place but even with mine there will only be 3 Spyders in town. To say I'm excited is a understatement. It's kind of like a kid on Christmas day. I went with the semi-auto trans so I could just sit back and enjoy and maybe even teach the wife to drive. I questioned my dealer about the trans and he assured me it's a tried and true system that they see little problems with. I did however find one forum with what seems to be a lot of people having problems with their semi-auto trans. Hopefully these are isolated problems. In any case I still just can't wait. Thanks for any advice.hyea::2excited:

I started out with an 2009 RS SE5 and graduated to a 2011 RT SE5. I love both rides but would never have gotten back on a bike if it didn't have a semi-auto trans. I live it and have never had a problem. You'll love it.

Ride in comfort,

:welcome: and :congrats: on your new Spyder. There were some issues with the SE5 RT model early on, but there was a recall that fixed all of that. You shouldn't have any problems with the RS, as those appear to be pretty few and far between. :thumbup:
