I would like to thank all the wonderful members of this site and a Big Thank you to Lamonster. I grew up in Virginia and always had a bike from 14years old till I was 22. I so loved to ride, but due to my Military then Police career I just didn't have the time nor money to have a bike. After many years of injuries at work I never thought I would ever be able to ride again. I didn't trust my knees or back to attempt to ride. 3 years ago my good friend got his RS which he had fell in love with the minute they came out. He kept on me to get one, but I just wasn't sure. He told me about Spyderlovers.com, so I came to this site and read many of the posts and quickly became a Lamonster fan. I finally went to our local dealership and really looked over the models. I wanted something that I could feel comfortable with and feel safe about riding with my wife. After reading almost every post Lamonster has written I made the leap in November 2011 and I am so happy I did. Thanks to all of you great people and Lamonsters information I now am able to ride again and absolutely love it. So far my Spyder has been everything you all said it would be and more. I got the 2011 RTS with the Audio and Chrome Package with the beautiful Blue. I am a newbee, but after reading your posts and truly paying attention to all your comments I feel very safe and comfortable riding again and my wife loves it. The day I picked my new baby up I figured I would only be able to ride it home and park it in the Garage until Spring, it is Northeast Ohio after all. Well I drove off the lot then just had to take it to my wife's work to show her. My friend had told be to be ready to talk to a lot of people every time I stopped, wow was he right. My first ride ended up being a 100 mile event. I just couldn't stop. I ended up in a big rainstorm, and was very impressed with how it handled in the rain, and everytime I stopped it was at least 30 minutes, of talking to people about my bike. I have now learned to keep plenty of brochures with me and my dealer gave me a bag full of info and keychains to hand out, I go back regularly to restock, lol. Sorry that my first post is so long, but I just wanted to say thank you to all on this site. Because of you an important part of my life has been given back to me, I honestly never thought I would ever be able to ride again, THANK YOU ALL!! I do have some questions, but I will ask them in the proper forums.
One Very Happy Spyder owner!
