My first Spyder

[Questions]

Hello everybody. I am a new Spyder owner. After 30+ years of riding on 2 wheels, my doctor told me no more motorcycles. Yeah, right. So I traded my 07 Harley Heritage Softail on a new 09 Red Spyder RS. Dealer gave me a deal on the leftover 09 I couldn't refuse.

I love it. Spent a week in the shop right off as the dealer said it needed a new "disc". Replaced that and I put 1200 miles on it in three weeks.

I need to install some risers on it and a windshield other than the BRP touring (I am 6'4") and I will be ready to rock and roll.

Any other Spyders in the West Palm Beach, FL, area? I am still riding with my old HOG group, but I kinda feel like a 5th wheel (or is it a 3rd wheel).

Talk at you all later

Great to see ANOTHER Happy Spyder Lover. I've had my '08 since ...well Oct '08 and LOVE it. Even up here with a 6 month Riding season I've done 35K. I bet you can't believe the POWER increase from a Heritage Softail. That was my biggest suprise from 998cc's

Hey Star Crusier, you are right about the speed. I'm going to get a ticket if I don't watch it. I'm used to ambling along on the Harley :yikes:
