So after a somewhat restless final night, I picked up my 2012 RS this morning and could not be happier!
My friend came with me to drive behind me and be a 'blocker', but the problem was he wanted Starbucks, which was not on my planned route home. After some deliberation I agreed and we were off.
My original route was pretty much a straight shot on a 2 lane road, not too hilly or curvy, but unfortunately to get the mocha he desired meant about 2 miles on highway. Needless to say I was a bit apprehensive at first, this is my first bike and I only road a couple hours around parking lot prior.
I am not sure if it was adrenaline or just instinct kicking in, but I am so glad I did that leaving the dealership. I felt so comfortable and almost at ease as the on ramp approached and my odometer started to inch towards 65 mph.
Upon arriving at our destination a sports car club was having a gathering and I could not have been more proud that I had just accomplished one of my fears in a matter of hours after taking possession. The looks and smiles toward me almost felt like my own little victory lap.
without jacket and gloves as this still in parking lot.
I truly do not feel that I would have done this without the many hours I spent this week looking at post, videos, etc from all my fellow SpyderLovers.
What a great community.
