Hey SpyderLovers -
"The better half" and I picked up an 09 Spyder Phantom for her on Thursday. I signed up on the forum last night, and wanted to get the first post out of the way!
We don't yet have pics with her on the Spyder, so this will have to do for the time being.
I've been on two wheels for some time (my current ride is Kawasaki Concours 14), and she tried two wheels, but just couldn't get used to it. We stumbled across the Spyder, and when she took one out for a ride, she came back with a huge grin! I have to agree - I got to ride it home from the dealer, and thought it was a blast.
Now, we just need the weather to cooperate so she can get out on it and get used to the feel. (Rainy day in MN today - :gaah
Anyway, I'm generally pretty quiet on forums, but will chime in when I can add something of value. It looks like I've got a LOT of reading to do of older posts, though, so I'm off to catch up on the collective wisdom of this group. Thanks for all of the knowledge that you're about to let me in on!
