Oh, what have I done?

Oh, what have I done?

I drove the 1 hour 20 mins to my nearest Spyder dealer in Memphis today and picked up my new 2011 RTS-SE5 and trailered it home without ever test driving or even hearing a motor fire up on one (except Thursday the 3 hours I was at Spyderfest). My first engine starting and driving being backing it off the trailer onto my driveway, followed by a quick run around my subdivision on it. (Won't have my license until next week so don't tell the law on me)

Well, I think I have really screwed up!!!!! I am self employed and work out of my home and now I will never be able to get any work done with this thing sitting 40 feet away in my garage! LOL!

All I can say is you all are totally right! I know this was a 10 min limited run around a subdivisions many up and down curvy streets at slow 20 to 45 mph speeds, but it is everything so far and more than I hoped. The steering and maneuvering seems very natural to me (having not come from a 2 wheeled motorcycle background since 35 years ago as a teen, but more from recent years driving 4 wheelers and sea doos)

Thanks to all of you for having this great group here which my many hours of trolling and reading educated me enough to take the chance and plunge in headfirst without many worries, and that has seemed to payoff nicely!

Look forward to many years of fun and getting to know you fellow riders!

smart move

:congrats::welcome: Mine was in the shop for 10 days waiting for parts and I think I drove my wife crazy with all the whining. Weather was not great for riding but still I wanted to get out. Also self employed and sometimes just a quick 15 ride to town and back is all the R&R I needed to get me back behind the desk. Enjoy your new ride.

SpyderFest WARNING: Spyder-Bite Danger Zone

Oh, what have I done?

Well, I think I have really screwed up!!!!! I am self employed and work out of my home and now I will never be able to get any work done with this thing sitting 40 feet away in my garage! LOL!

Look forward to many years of fun and getting to know you fellow riders!

:welcome: and :congrats: on your:spyder2: bite.
Going to Spyderfest without a Spyder, you didn't stand a chance. SpyderFest needs a warning label.
You are quiet correct, unless your work ethic is much stonger than mine. After 3 years of Spyder ownership, the honey-do list has grown as ryding takes priority on most days. You may have to move your work to a shop several miles away from your home in order to get both done.
Enjoy your new dilema. Dennis :doorag:
