New to Bike riding

[Derwin]

Hey, thanks for all of the encouragement. I actually test drove a Spyder last month. I never operated a motorcycle before in my life, and changing gears on the Spyder was very different for me. I actually almost wiped-out into a luxury boat they had in the dealers parking lot! ;D But I could tell that if I were to ride ANY kind of motorcycle, that the Spyder would be the one.

I put my money down on the Spyder SE5 back in December, way before ever seeing one in person, or driving one. I know the SE5 will be just what I need to experience the open road.

As I said, I purchased a scooter, and I went and got my Motorcycle license with it. Just riding that around town is an incredible feeling. I never imagined riding like this could be so liberating. I think I am addicted to this already! And I can't wait for my Spyder to arrive. I know that will take me to a whole new level.

Thanks again.

Hey Derwin,
Congrats!! I'm also new to motorcycle riding. I have been riding double with my husband for 20+ years. Then I got the bug to be the one driving. I have found the Spyder wonderfully easy to learn on!! I think you will love the fun, and freedom. I do recommend the MSF rider training course. It really teaches you how to ride safely. Enjoy!!

My wife rode behind for over 30 years, then got the itch, and bought a Spyder. She can't stop talking about how great it is to ride her own motorcycle. BTW, she took the MSF course, too. I had tried to get her to take one for years. The Spyder was just the right incentive. Great idea, Derwin, riding a scooter for practice and your endorsement. When you get your Spyder, a little while in the parking lot should be all you need, then. Just have to make that step upwards. You are going to do great! I have been riding for 50 years, and it is still a wonderful thrill. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Congrats Derwin on your purchase. I did want to note that the SE5 isn't truely 'automatic' like a car is... you still shift gears... but it is just with the push of a button up or down.... really simple stuff.

Have you ever rode a snowmobile? The Spyder is a bit like that.
