Newbie purchased his first Spyder!!!

[Fastlanez]

Well, after riding two wheels and heavily contemplated purchasing a Yamaha Road Warrior this year, i have decided to just go with the dream and purchase the Spyder!

I found a 2009 Spyder GS, Phantom Black Limited Edition SM5 Roadster from North Honda Powerhouse in Michigan w/3200 miles. Although it now has to be delivered to Massachusetts, i cant wait for it to get here.

As a Can-Am newbie, please feel free to share any helpful insight.

Thanks and hope to see you out on the road! :2thumbs:

I picked up my first byke yesterday. '08 RS/GS SE5. Been 5 weeks since I bought it but had to have shipped from FL then dealer here did the DPS recall. Now, hopefully, it's all ready to roll.

Broken record

Congratulations!
Sorry, just got finished writing pretty much this same advice on another post, but for me it bears repeating. The Spyder is a blast to ride, but it is very different from a 2 wheeler. It took me a couple of hundred miles before I started to get used to the handling and really started to enjoy the ride. Take your time and practice before you try to go @#%! to the wall, and you'll find that it's more fun each time you ride it. I think some of the more experienced Spyder riders forget that there is a transition.....especially from 2-wheels.

Okay, I'm off the soapbox.

Thanks folks, I thought about flying to MI, picking it up and riding it back home, but coming from 2 wheels to 3, wasn't sure if I were biting off more than I should be chewing, since i never did test ride one. Nonetheless, it should be here by next week. I will try and grab some pics from the website to post, if I can get that to work. The bike should be here in time for the wonderful 3 day memorial day weekend! So excited, can hardly wait!!! Now, let me see if I can grab some pics for y'all!
