New RT SM6 owner and new to Spyder all together..Just figured I' d wave a hand and introduce myself...from South Mississippi and new to the 3 wheeled world and so far I am enjoying it more than I thought I would....
Been on 2 wheels for years and had to make a difficult choice of leaving my wife at home or going to 3 wheels..Back is worn out and holding up a bike was getting to be too much 2-up...Wife still wanted to travel with me so I researched 3 wheels and after a year + of waiting for the new 3 cyl 6 speed RT to go on sale.........it did.....$5000+ off....so here I am...............I must say, I am not disappointed..
Picked it up a week ago and after a laser alignment taken care of under warranty I am very happy and so is She...Not as good on gas as we are used to but the comfort and ease of riding along with the added storage and better trailer towing capabilities far outweigh the negative..Only time will tell on reliability but we are set for the long haul and will find out..
This will be our final toy, good or bad, and I still have about 25 states to fill in on my ride map to have the mainland 49 covered and plan to do it on this scoot....
I will be rigging my Garmin 50 to a $70 ball mount and doing my own wiring, adding a cup holder, putting the $230 hitch on it and doing my own 5 to 4 wire conversion trailer light harness..along with adding the highway peg kit and I believe those are all the mods I need and got em all figured out already..... but..... that won' t mean I won't have a question or 2 along the way, most of them already answered on other threads.............
So.................. Howdy all!!.....I will likely be more of a lurker looking for ideas round here but just wanted to be a good neighbor and wave a hand......This looks like a great forum for Spyder riders from what I have already seen...... DC1....
