First long rider on new Spyder.

[Myron Ah]

The wife and I just returned from our first long ride of 3 days in length on our new Spyder RT-S. Having read a lot on here about mpg, heat and other things, we were looking forward to seeing how she did. A little rain each day here in southern and central Maine from Cornish to Moosehead Lake but it was good. Averaged temps 50-75 over the trip. No over heat issues. 30+ mpg burning 91 octane which as high as I can buy. Very happy with the bike! The ride is very nice. One note if I may; Beaded seat cushions are great. I bought one for each of us and we love them. Not sure if I can mention the name on here so I won't until someone tells me I can but I recommend them. I bought what appears to be some sort of plastic or ceramic beaded ones but they also make the traditional wood(?) ones too. Very impressed.

The BeadRider is especially amazing in blazing hot weather (the ceramic one that is) because it allows air flow under you and keeps you very comfortable
