You could have installed a hand brake... ISCI has them....maybe you can recall your spyder and install the hand brake..
However, I am sorry you decided to give up the ride, but safety first is paramount.

I know how hard this is. I have had to take myself out of the game for medical reasons before. It takes a big man to do something that smart...I applaud you! Best of luck on down the road. You can still visit here, you know. SpyderLovers isn't just for current owners.

NewRider,I've not felt my feet for over 20yrs and understand how difficult it is to operate a motor cycle or car but I can also tell you that you can learn to do so. Yes I sometimes have to check where my right foot is and maybe I'll get a hand brake,but now I just keep my foot braced next to the brake(I have seal floorboards)so I just lift and move left and down to stop. I am also diabetic on an insulin pump and have essential tremors in both hands but over time I've learned to cope and drive both my SpYder and my car. You'll find many members here with all kinds of medical problems who drive,some ten race their spyders,you can too. I hope you find ways to drive and feel safe,if I can help PM me or e-mail me at tobor9@me.com

That Damn War took to many when it was going on and is still ruining good/great guys lives like yourself. Sorry to hear you can't ride safely now. Best to you and don't stop trying.
Thanks for your service!!

Isci's handbrake conversion is $1,250 dollars. That's more than I can afford at present. In addition, my closest Spyder dealer (25 miles away) has lost their BRP franchise. Thanks for the thought.

I can't begin to imagine how you feel. I do understand you wanting to leave SL. It'd be to hard to stay connected when you can't ryde. I do hope you can resume ryding at a later date. And from one VV to another, you'll know what I mean, Welcome Home Brother.
