:agree: Be prepared to feel really strange at first, especially if you are a long time 2 wheel rider. Just keep thinking "Its a car with handlebars" and you'll be fine. The steering will seem awkward and "twitchy" at first, but after you settle down and relax you'll get the hang of it fairly quickly. After you ride it a while, you'll find it's capable of taking corners much faster than you might believe at first. Above all, have fun with it and understand that it's kinda like starting over and it just gets better from that first drive :clap:

If it's anything like mine was, take your wallet! :roflblack:

Hello Peter,
Thanks. I'm from Ipswich (about an hour west of Brisbane). Yes, I've made contact with some spyder riders via the Spydermates forum.

Just finished...My First Test Ride on a Spyder RT (previously only 2 wheels)

Thanks everyone for your advice and riding tips.
My first impressions are.....it was absolutely fantastic.:yes:

Whilst I have not yet been up to highway speed (just suburban streets), I feeling really confident that the experience will now only get better and better with time.

Regards,
Gerard

2014 RT TEST RIDE

Had my 2012 at dealer today for some (hopefully) warranty work, and while waiting I asked them if i could try the new 3 cylinders out. Wow! Wonder what they'd give me for my 12 with 28k miles on it? Probably way less than I owe on it, that takes care of that question. but it was a nice ride for lunch!

Take your time, Don't be like me, I didn't even have time to test drive and no 3 wheel training and license. Thanks God I made it and able to get the 3 wheel training and license later without incident.
