Brand New Owner, I did it...

[Chazzman]

Hey everyone, Thanks to all that have replied to my two posts here. Today I went to the dealership for a test ride on a 2012 White RT Limited that just came in. I rode my Wing over and they had just preped the Spyder so I pulled out of the parking lot with 0 miles on the odometer. I just kept riding all the way home to my garage, lol, went back in my car with the titles on my Wing and my V-Strom. They asked me what I wanted for my bikes and I told them, it was $2400 over KBB trade in value on the Wing and $1500 over on my V-strom.(this was determined before the test ride) They agreed and we made the transaction, no Prep fees or freight and I got them to order me a free Utopia back rest and install it at no charge.

After a whopping 20 miles of riding I am already sold. The wife loves it as well... I made a conscience decision after 40 years on two wheels that I was hanging up two wheel riding for good. My choices were limited. A trike, (no way), a Spyder or another hobby, you see my decision.

Thanks again to all!

:congrats: Chazman, hope you like it as much as I do. I still have my M109R but all I do is look at it now days. The Spyder bit me hard and I love riding it more than just about anything I've owned. :doorag:

Thanks Everyone... This is a great Forum and even contributed to my decision to purchase. I can tell that Spyder riders are a great group of folks! I believe I will enjoy this forum better than the GL1800 Forum.
