    Default How to carry a cane on Spyder RT

    Well, I've got to the point that my instability forces me to walk with a cane or fall down and hurt myself. But....I can't give up riding.

    Where do you strap your cane on your Spyder?

    One person I've ridden with has a sort of vertical sheath attached on the side of the passenger seat that they drop it in.

    I have a walking stick that I use when I go to hike in the park I just bungee it nice and tight inside the passenger grab rails and let it stick out the back like people do with their insta 360's now.

    That's exactly what I do!

    On my 2-wheelers, I used to have a little wallet thingy that the folded cane fitted into hanging off the pass grab rails/saddlebag hangers, but with the advent of the RT back in 2013, I took to keeping one in each vehicle, just folding it & slipping into the top trunk. It's so much easier to do that with room to burn on the RT, and it really doesn't take up much space at all anyway!

    I have that exact cane. I bought it a few years ago for when I had back surgery. It works great. I unfortunately will have to break it out again because I am having more back issues and I think surgery is in my near future... again.

    I'm glad this subject was brought up. I carry a cane in each vehicle because I have bad feet, ankles, knees, and hips. Therefore I don't know when I will need it. Thanks for the inputs. I will be looking for a folding cane.

    I have a beautiful hand-made cane my wife (now passed) gave me. I used to bungee it to the luggage rack on the Spyder but then I got some Ram clamps and now it rides in those. Pictures to come later.

    My brother makes scabbards for guys who want to carry their rifles across their back on motorcycles. I'm sure you could make one for a Can-Am Spyder. Any color! Drop me a message.

    I have to carry two full length crutches. It is the only way to walk with only one leg and can no longer wear the prosthetic leg.

    Short pieces of ss tubing are bolted on left foot peg mount. I have no use for a left foot peg.

    Same type holders when I carried them on my Harley, except front tie down was a nylon strap with a pinch buckle.

    I thought along these lines as well. I initially was going to suggest using a quiver.

    Hey, if it is good enough for a Thomson SMG it should be good enough for a cane.

    Hoooo, not in California you don't. No open carry. That's why you don't see rifle racks in the back windows of pickup trucks anymore.

    Not even California would arrest somebody for having a scabbard with a walking cane in it, unless it was sword cane.

    Not sure about that. California will arrest you for not being arrested if they get the urge!

    Thanks a lot to everyone for the ideas. I think that I like the folding cane idea best.
