New RT Owner

[redroC]

Sunday ride

Sorry Glynn we didn't see the post until late last night.
Sure sounded fun, but I don't think I'm quite ready yet.

Give me another week of practice and we will be ready.
I think today I'm going to find a large parking lot and
go over some of the training from the book.

I would really like to meet and follow a few Spyder owners around.
Hope everyone had fun.

:congrats: on your new :spyder2:... if you ever get over to the Hill Country, give us a shout.

I’m checking our schedule.

It sounds like fun, I will have to check and make sure we don’t already have plans.

Thanks for the link!

:welcome: and :congrats: on the new ryde. You have the right idea about doing some practice. They :spyder2: is much different from two-wheels, but once you have the differences figured out, you will really enjoy the ryde. It took me 500-1000 miles before I really felt one with the bike. It is going to vary of course from person to person.

I've now put 250 miles on it and feel pretty good. (Specially compared to when I drove it off the lot)

I still want to take the turns pretty slow, but every mile I put on it, the better I feel.

Once I feel up to it, I think following a group of Spyders around will help as well.
Maybe in a couple of weeks.

We are having so much fun already it's hard to believe it gets even better.

The demo truck was at Wild West Honda yesterday, me and my wife went on our first test drive.
We were the first ones there so they let us ride around the parking lot a few times, then I went on a long drive with just the demo guys.
By the time I got back another group of people were getting ready go, so they let me take my wife as a passenger on the next ride.

We left with a 2012 RT Limited (white).

Traffic was already getting bad at this time so we only put about 50 miles on it before we called it a night.

We have never owned a bike before, but have been looking at Spyders for years.

So you'll see a white RT around the 290/1960 area.

It only gets better

Hello RedRoC, I am not sure if that was you at the Vintage Park Car show this weekend or not, I was there, but I was not there with the Spyder this time, but in the H1 Hummer. I saw a few of ya'll come in and missed any of the others that came in. It is always great seeing other Spyders out there.

I had my bike for 9 months now and already got about 9000 miles on it with out being in a group just having too much fun with it. It's funny, in the last 9 months, I just how not seen many of the other other Spyders around, and finally in this last month, I am starting to see the Spyders on the road (must be the weather), and only just got on this Conroe group and still yet to meet every one here. From the Conroe group that I have meet so far, ya'll are great, and from seeing the bikes, wow, the graphic and mod are giving me ideas. Just ordered the hub lights and I am sure I will find more items to customize the Spyder as we keep on meeting.

I live right at 290 and Fry road, so feel free to give me a call or email if you want to get out, meet up and ride around. 713-568-7904, this goes out to any one who is out in this area!

Thanks for catching my booboo.

 

[redroC]

We will make it to at least one of the rides to Conroe for sure.
Prolly both.
And we will be up at Crazy Frogs Wednesday night.

I just put blue GlowRyders on my bike yesterday day. They look really good.
(oh, I was told it's not my bike, its OUR bike).

ZWolf, Nailz you both have mentioned the wheel lights. They were super easy to install.
We took it for a short ride last night to see what they look like, and we are really happy with them.

GlowRyders

Great, I am looking forward to getting mine, I got the orange ones with of what other then a wolf paw print on it.

Joined up the the Fuelly site and that is great, and now I can a the info the log via a SMS message at the station. Getting better mileage now then I was 5000 miles ago and that was highway driving to NC and back getting onl 26.8 MPG. that makes me feel better. Sure miss my 55MPG on my Suzuki Burgman 650.
