New Ryder

[Reacher68]

Hi all. I'm from the DFW area of Texas and I have loved the look of a Spyder for years. This year, I decided to make it more than a dream and do something about it. I just took a riding class so I could get the trike endorsement for my license and will probably buy my Spyder this week. I am looking at a 2016 F3-T. It's new/untitled and has less than 200 miles. They are discounting it like crazy and it seems like a good deal. It's silver with an orange frame. I'll know more later in the week, but I'm pretty excited.

Welcome and good luck with your purchase! Plenty of knowledge here, particularly if you search the archives for answers to particular questions/issues. Also plenty of "live" help from experienced owners. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

Good luck and Good fortune on your deal! Check out the “Do's & Do Not's” for New Spyder Owners thread, it's a lot to read through, but many questions you'll have might be answered right there.

Texas Adventure Powersports in Richardson. Their financing was not very good, but I got good financing from CityCU. I will pick up my spyder tomorrow or Friday!

I got a 2016 F3-T SE6 in Magnesium with the orange bars. The only thing I had added was the driver's footboards in black. I am so excited!!

I already got a Sedici full face helmet and a Sena 10s bluetooth. I will need gloves and boots, but I am in the process of losing about 65 lbs so I don't want to get a jacket that will be too big in a couple of months.

...and on your weight loss efforts. You might want to check out the Spyders in the Hills rally coming up in October over in Boerne.

As I have said many times, tire pressure is important for a smooth ride. Try 18 front and 30 rear and go up or down from there. Enjoy.
