My first Spyder demo ride was on a SM5. I enjoyed it enough to order a Spyder two weeks later. I wanted my wife to be able to ride and she didn't think she could get the hang of the clutch lever and shifting with her foot. So, I ordered an SE5 and was expecting it to arrive around the end of August. Well it didn't and I was getting antsy to ride so when I saw my dealer was having a demo ride today I decided to go. I grabbed a friend of mine that is a Harley guy and took him to try the Spyder.
As we were going through the tech talk before the ride our BRP rep mentioned if we needed any further information on the Spyder and aftermarket products we should try going to SpyderLovers.com :thumbup:
Thought you might enjoy that little tid bit Lamonster. Anyway, I really am happy I ordered the SE5. I had a blast on the ride today. I got a little behind the lead group at one point and decided I should catch up, before I knew it I was at 74mph. I am really pleased with the way the SE functions. A little hard to not get off the throttle when changing gears at first but once you get used to it :yikes:. We did about a 6 or 7 mile ride, the path we took was a little different from my original ride and a little longer. I talked to my salesman and the general manager about delivery. They think my Spyder might be here before the first of October. Sure hope they are right, I can't wait to get back out again. My Harley riding friend said he had a blast. He thought he had the VSS kick in at least once. There were only about 6 of us for the first demo ride today so I think the guys let us get away with a little more than the last demo ride I took. I heard some barking tires more than just a couple times. Now I am all amped up again. Can't wait for my Spyder to get here! :2excited:
