• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I am a new RT owner! (finally)

Like everyone before me, best wishes and happy trails!

come on down the Natchez Trace and break her in well!:yes:
 
Way back when I joined the forums I said it would be November and it's November. Struck a deal with a local dealership for a 2014 RT SE6 with hitch and bluetooth installed including headsets. I think I got a heck of a deal.
I pick it up in about 3 days. I think the wife is more excited than I am! :clap:

Congrats on the new ride. You will love the 1330 in that RT.
 
Congrats.

I have a feeling that these particular three days may move very slowly for you - but that will make Thursday all the more enjoyable.

Read all you can about the Spyder and check out the riding tips here on the forum. New Spyder or used, 1330 or V-twin 998, SE or SM trans, it takes time to learn the driving techniques of the Spyder. Don't be over confident and relax on the bars. You will be very pleased with the 1330 for sure. Use the next three days to learn all you can about your new machine. Congratulations on your purchase! :thumbup:

Thanks StanProff. Actually started the process of learning back in January when I was lurking on the forums before joining in August. I have read the owners manual cover to cover 4 times now, test drove a RTS, watched just about every video there is, created a spread sheet that contains the specs for the last 3 years models and the problems posted for each model year, questioned the dealer and the Spyder mechanic about each issue, and read every review and most forum posts from 2010 to date. My obsession with the Spyder started in 2008 when I saw my first one cruising around Englewood Florida. ;)

BTW I stopped at the dealer today and they had just finished installing all the accessories. They are gonna do some detail work on it to make it as pretty as can be then I get my final walk around, an extensive overview of everything, and then I can take it home. Probably Friday now before I make it back down to the dealer. Gives me time to call the insurance agent, get a new pair of gloves, and shine up the helmets. I just want to get it home and have at least one day to ride before the snow falls on Sunday. :(
 
It's home and looks a lot bigger in my garage than it did on the sales floor.
38 miles tonight under cloudy skies and a toasty 28 degrees, thank goodness for heated grips and warm riding gear. More riding tomorrow when it warms to 34 degrees in the afternoon. If I remember I will snap some pics tomorrow.

What a wonderful joy, So happy for you. :clap:

What accessories did you have installed?

Yes those heated grips come in handy ( no pun intended ):D

Looking forward to seeing some pictures!
