New to the group

[Bogie]

Hello everyone, being new to the group I have not yet figured out how to post new threads using my iPad. so I logged in on my desktop.
Put a deposit on a 2014 RT (silver) a couple weeks ago, so now I am waiting for the artic weather go go away here in Michigan.
Decided it was time to retire from 2 wheels after last fall laying down my Voyager when the kickstand decided to fold on me when I dismounted. Liek a fool I tried to hold it up and pulled my shoulder out. Besides after my wife has had 4 knee surgeries I really dont need her getting on/off everytime I do. The first modification will be a Corbin seat so I can fill it up while she stays on.
Thanks for listening!
Ride Safe,
Bogie

Congrats! and Welcome!

:congrats: on your purchase of a new 2014 RT!! :yes::yes::yes: :welcome:

I am in my late 50's and moved from 2 wheeled fun to 3 wheeled fun when I bought my first Spyder RT last year -- a brand new 2012 RT Limited -- loved it - rode 7,650 miles in 2013 (very short ryding season here in cold Minnesnowta)....

Anyways, upgraded to a 2014 since I liked the 2012 so much. You will love it, it just takes time to get used to the feel and is not like the 2 wheeler. This thread information helped me when I first got my Spyder....give it a look: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?41346-quot-Do-s-and-Do-Nots-quot-for-new-Spyder-owners&referrerid=12858

It's a little dated (they will be adding more info on the 2014 RT), but many things still apply.....worked for me! Enjoy your new ryde!!! :yes::yes::yes:

It is a small town as you are headed into the "Thumb", very rural but we like it out here.

:welcome:and :congrats: on your 14' RT. Don't be shy on asking questions on this site, we are here to help.

2 years ago, I bought a 2012RTS-SE5. I went from a 2-wheeled motorcycle ( HD) to a :spyder2: and I am happy with my :spyder2:. We also, have a short motorcycle season in the Northeast, like you do in Michigan. You will get people asking you questions no matter where you on your :spyder2:.

Enjoy your new 14RT, many happy miles.

Bogie, welcome to more smiles to the mile club. I live in Fenton, Mi and had to look up where Brown City is. I am thinking about having a cook out for the Spyder Riders on May 31 if the weather every warm up. Still in the thinking about stage. Have you heard about Spyderfest in Springfield, Mo? I went last year for the first time and had a great time. This year my wife Jennifer will be going with me. Oh Spyderfest is April 30th to May 4th.
