Hello!, and thanks for such a great site for information

:welcome: I'm not a big guy like you, but the rest is pretty similar. I hadn't been on a bike in 30+ years and never thought about getting another one ... until a friend of my neighbor showed up on what I learned was a Spyder. From the moment I saw it I became engrossed in the thought of riding one. I visited a local dealer and sat on a new RT and RS. I learned what I thought I needed to know and bought my RS from a dealer a thousand miles away. I knew the mods that I would need to make like risers, floorboards, etc.. I bought some "for sale" on this site, and I've got a ride that satisfied me to the max.

Once bitten by the :f_spider: life isn't the same. It only gets better. Happy hunting. You'll know your :spyder2: when you see it.

i forgot to mention i was 305 lbs when i bought the :spyder2: but am losing weight...and not just so it can carry me and the wife at same time.

but at your/my weight, unless your wife is really small duo riding on an RS is not possible. so unless your wife is tiny or you plan onlosing a fair amout of weight the RT is DEF the way to go. again, if i could have afforded i woulda started at the RTs. i LOVE my RSS but would really like to take my wife out ryding too....
