Newbie sayin hi.

[Woodsrider]

Just bought a 2012 RT. Always been on two wheels, friend of mine can't ride anymore so sold me his Spyder with 800 miles on it.

Motorcycle friends are already trashing me about how bad Can Am Spyders are, so with my perverse nature I'm determined it's going to be trouble free and fun .

Won't even have it in my hands for a week or so, it's out of state and we gotta work out logistics.

Anyone want a nice used Connie?

Thanks First Sgt. Retired Navy CPO here. Really looking forward getting on three, although I'm keeping the woods bike, I need trees to knock some sense into me on a regular basis.

2012 Kawasaki Concours ZG1400. 'Sport' Touring bike. I had a 2008 and totalled it with a deer, insurance bought the 2012 but I never quite got back to full capability. Coming up on 2 years post-deer and still don't feel comfortable holding up a 600lb bike and my balance isn't 100%.

Woods and trail riding is still fun, light bikes, the getoffs don't hurt much but street will be more enjoyable on the Spyder. Test drove one at the dealer and it'll take some getting used. Hopefully wife will want to drive it as well.
