Now that's what I call a welcome! :2thumbs: Thank you, all! We're off today to go knock down cones in a parking lot, and work our way up to more of the open road. Looking forward to chatting with (and hopefully someday seeing) y'all out there!

A friendly reminder(thanks to Radguy) to ALL the new to Spyder-dom folks out there(seems like a surge in new Spyderowners of late):

Before pressing the "START" button on the handlebar, one must "always remember and never forget"* to STEP ON DA BRAKE!!

*a quote from Schneider the maintenance dude from One Day at a Time. I was addicted to this show,hoping for the day Valerie Bertinelli would dance across the screen in a bikini,which never happened.

Seduced by the sizzle in the current BRP Can-Am ads, and all the fun you guys seem to be having, my wife and I bought a blue 2011 RT-S today. Drove him home and then started doing more practice in the local school parking lot. Neither of us are prior cycle riders; this is our first. So more practice needed! But the drive home (about 12 miles) was a good introduction too. We just got our cycle permits yesterday.

Still on order are the CB Comm system and the BRP helmets (matching blue) with the comm bits, 'cause we want to have easy chatting while we go cruising. First aftermarket part is gonna be the Spyderpop heat shield (thanks for all the insights here on this forum - you guys rock!). I noticed the heat down there even on the test ride.

We're in the Seattle area, so looking forward to meeting up with any fellow :spyder2: folks in this neck of the woods.

:welcome: and :congrats: Ryde safe and enjoy

Yep, our good man draboo saved my bacon. Sittin' there in the school parking lot looking dumber than a box of rocks, we couldn't figure out why the bike wouldn't start. draboo got us squared away with the above advice. :clap:
