Hello Everyone! My name is Angela and I live in Suffolk, VA. I recently purchased a 2009 Spyder Phantom Black Edition off of ebay. We actually haven't even picked it up yet. We're gonna head up to Chadds Ford, PA to get it next Saturday. I'm totally excited beyond the calming point!!! I really don't even know much about the bike other than it's wicked sexy and I find myself daydreaming of it in a lustful manner. :shocked:
I have been riding a Buell Blast for the past couple years which is my very first bike. I completed the motorcycle safety course a couple summers ago and my honey got me the Blast. I found myself just never quit being able to get 100% comfortable on it. I was always afraid of laying it down and was not able to fully enjoy our rides. Only on rare occasions was I able to fully relax and just enjoy the ride. I know, I'm such a sissy!
We took the bikes out last weekend and after cutting a corner too sharply and almost ending up on a windshield of an oncoming car (tight cow trail of a back road) I found myself ready to cash in and call it quits. I told my honey that if I was going to continue this bike riding adventure then we would need to look into other options. So I started shopping around for a used inexpensive Spyder. I found one on ebay that was at a HD dealer in PA. and I fell in love or maybe it's lust:dontknow:, don't know, only time will tell if it's true love. My honey called the dealership and we worked out a trade on his Buell Ulysses and some cash and we sold my Blast to a friend. (With the death of Eric Buell's company at the hands of Harley, it wasn't a hard choice.) He's gonna start riding his Ducatti 998 Matrix Edition for now until it sells while works on building an cafe bike.
Also, I have a 13 yr. old daughter who loves to ride with us. I never rode two up with her because of my fears and lack of experience, she always rode with my honey. She has always wanted to ride with me though. Every time we stop for gas, she hops off of his bike and jumps on the back of mine while we wait for our turn at the pump. She's totally psyched that she gets to be my passenger now! And she thinks the Spyder is wicked cool!!
So anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself and give ya'll a little back story of what lead me to my very first Spyder. And if any of you live near me, lets hook up and ride!! As long as you don't mind a Duc coming along, LOL!!
PS - How come Can-Am's site calls my bike "2009 Spyder RS Phantom Black" but when I search for that on the internet all I get is "2009 GS Phantom Black"? Which is it....RS or GS? Or is there no difference? I just don't want to look like a dumb :cus: and call my bike something that it isn't. Thanks!
