Wannabe Maybe

I don't have a Spyder yet and I guess that fits me into the "wannabe" classification. If my lack of ownership experience qualifies me for the "ignorance" category then I guess I might as well be "pidgeonholed" into that one as well. I did demo a couple of Spyders, one in September of 2008 and a 2013 RT-S SE5 back in early October of this year. I was positively impressed by this machine, so much so that I registered onto this forum to learn as much as possible about Spyders, particularly the RT models. I have chimed in on some posts, perhaps unwisely so, being as my experiences are all of the two wheeled variety. There are some things analogous to both type of motorcycles but not all. If I seem to be too incorrect or too out-of-place just tell me so. I certainly do not want to wear out my welcome here as I'm hanging in there to see what will happen when the 2014 RTs get to their new owners. I'd like to find out what the bad and the good will be with the new motor and transmission as well as cooling system etc. I'll try to keep a low profile in the meantime.

Don't let the sour attitudes of some members throw you off. The vast majority of the people here are kind and helpful. This forum is among the most civil forums that exist, IMO. Anyone who is interested in Spyders is welcome here. There really isn't any better place to learn about the Spyders and see what they do well and what they don't do well. Just remember that like all forums, problems (and personalities) tend to get blown out of proportion. The noise shows up while the quiet satisfaction fades into the background.

:welcome:
