Took an hour off early from work just to test drive the Spydie!! :clap:Took the Harley Rider's Edge class almost two years ago...had a blast. Thinking about getting a bike...but I'm a 52 yr old female and safety is a major concern cause if I buy a bike you can believe I will be on it alot. Found the Spyder a couple of months ago and have enjoyed this website for making a decision to try it. I was nervous and almost talked myself out of the test drive because it was on a busy road in 5:00 traffic! I didn't think 2 days on a Harley Buell in a parking lot qualified me for this adventure!!:yikes:
But...I am determined to have fun for once in my life (all I've done is work, work, work since the age of 13). I was up to 60 mph in no time flat, shifted down to ease over a train track crossing....all the while remembering the conversations on here about oversteering (holding on too tight) and the floating feeling on the straightaways which, by the way, I did experience. I felt totally safe and was appreciative of the power it has. I was taken on a very curvy road and found myself doing 55 around 45 mph posted curves! with no problems. Give me two weeks on this thing to "learn" it completely and me and the Spydie will be one. Now.... I just have to make the moolah thing happen!! Lovin it!!:yes:
