Well, I finally did an out of state trip on my Spyder. Went from Jacksonville, NC to Richfield Spirngs, NY. A little over 750 miles one way. I am very suprised at just how comfortable I was for that distance. But I also realized what I need next. So before the next trip, I will be getting the NMN 3" risers and a different seat (not sure which one yet though). I took a seabag and bungie corded it to the passenger handles. But I know I want the Corbin bags also. But I can live without those for awhile. Must say the only problems I had were neck cramps and one a**h*** 18 wheeler that kept blocking me from passing him.
