Snowmobiler becomes Spyderlover

[packbuckbrew]

I have been a voyeur on this site for some time and after a 6 week wait, I finally got my new RTS SE5 on 6/2/10. I never even test drove the thing since I only have a learners permit. I just sat on it and knew the spyder was for me. Let me first say that I have never ridden a motorcycle before, but I have been snowmobiling for the past 10 years. I was a little worried after reading some negative posts about the spyder handling, especially from motorcyclists, but after my first 300 miles I am loving my new RTS. The handling is exactly like riding my sled on a perfectly groomed trail, and the roll in the turns feels very natural to me. As a snowmobiler first, the SE5 is a snap to use. I am hooked and looking forward to putting many miles on this summer. The next thing I will need is a new helmet, my BRP modular 2 is tooooooo hot, I am thinking about a 3/4 open face. Happy trails!

I have been snowmobiling for years also, test rode one and it IS just like riding a sled.
I am flying to Cowtown in 2 weeks to get mine. I CANNOT wait to make the 900 mile ride back to Lancaster,Pa.hyea:

Glad I'm not the only one that gets zoned out like that.

Welcome fellow sledneck and :congrats: on the purchase. Just don't get the urge to do any back country off trail carving on the Spyder.

The nice thing about the spyder is, when the snowmobiling season is done in the spring, you can go from the sled and onto the spyder! I've been on the spyder in the snow, but it's better to keep the snow for snowmobiling for sure. Enjoy your new ride!
