I made the purchase of a new 2024 RT Limited this summer. With 1,600 miles on it now, I feel like I’m just beginning to get the hang of riding this thing! There is still a lot for me to learn, especially when going through curves. The most important thing, I’m having fun again!!
My big enemy has been the muscle memory from many miles on two wheels. The Spyder is slowly teaching me the new way to handle things. Slowly, because I’m kind of set in my ways, new learning doesn’t come quickly.
I want to thank those that have made comments on other posts trying to educate me on the Spyder way of doing things, especially how to guide it through the turns. There have been several times starting through a curve when the muscle memory would tell me how I should do it, but then the Spyder would begin to wobble a little telling me to STOP DOING THAT!!
I very seldom do that anymore 
One of my measures of progress in overcoming the ol' muscle memory happened last week. I was doing between 50-60 on a two lane road, when a gust of wind hit from the right side and I immediately without thinking about it countered the wind the way the Spyder has taught me rather than the old two wheel method. Making slow progress, eating that elephant one bite at a time.
Once again, thanks!
Any suggestions on how to improve my ability in the curves would be appreciated!
