    Default Spyder Riding On Hold...

    Well today will surely be a great day for riding here in EAST TN. With 73 degree for cast. Also today I get the pleasure of celebrating my birthday, 60 years around the sun. But it was my misadventure last Sunday that will keep me from riding. A short walk in the park with my wife and 4 year old grandson ended abruptly when I stepped on the edge of an asphalt walkway and rolled my left ankle. So no riding for several weeks.
    Everyone that can, have a great ride. Dennis

    Default Hey man...........

    That's your left foot. If you have an SE6 your still good to go. SE6's are just a 50 mph wheelchair.

    Default There's always another way!

    So, it's your left foot. Give it a week or so and figure out how to get the other leg over the saddle. Then that gimpy left foot can go along for the ride. Heck, it don't do much when you're riding any who.

    Hope you're better soon......and can turn weeks off the bike, into days.

    Strap your crutches to the passenger grab rails, and climb on from the RH side of the bike...

    I clicked on "like this post" but not because I'm happy about your situation! I hope you'll heal quickly. And I second the idea of riding anyway!

    I'll admit you're situation looks much worse than mine. Those of us who can't ride today will have tomorrow (whenever that may be)

    Yes 522 Is Sm5 and that ain't no riding boot for sure. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Maybe next ride will be Se6

    Can you turn that pic right side up? I mean, the way it is makes one cringe even more for you.

    Get well soon my man. Hope you get the desired result too.

    The two of you should plan a celebratory ride and meet somewhere in the middle once you're both on the mend.

    We'll be expecting progress reports from both of ya.

    And guys, no more walks in the park or reaching for high places for a while. Okay!

    So with spring right around the corner, when does it get unbearable hot? Hope you're out enjoying your ride before that happens. Dennis

    Wow, that happened to me once while building my deck. I rode that ladder straight to the ground. Very sudden trip for sure and quite a jar. Luckily I didn't get injured. I really had no business working on that deck at the time I was between surgeries and had a colostomy. When you're young, you think you can do everything!
