Good evening from Spain

[mcalva]

Hi, everybody!
First at all, I'm sorry by my english. I know is not as good as id like it was. But may be with a little help from translator ....

Happy to had found this forum, cause I could consider "the byble" for Spyder lovers.

My name is Juan Luis, known (but not to much) over here (Spain) as McAlva.
I'm just arriving to the spyder world cause problems on my back. Till the last week I had an Honda VTX 1300 R but
I had to say bye to her cause my complexion is not the best to move and my back said stop it to me..

I hope i'll continue learning from all of you. Thank you very much.

[mcalva]

Thank you very much for the wellcome!

Yes, I have an Spyder RT Ltd 2011 but unfortunatelly I have not had the opportunity to ride a lot cause my back problems.
I'm waiting for surgery now.

My RT is "a second hand" as we say over here, with 11,5 k kilometers, because here in Spain Spyder is too expensive and
there aren't too much where choose from and definitelly I couldn't pay for a new one. :-(

I bought it to keep my feelings riding motorcycles but having a lot of care with my health.

And now, at my sixties I'm about to start a new adventure. I have problems but I'm not dead yet!

If you are handy there are many things you can do your-self and save millions of $ in maintenance . Well maybe not that much but a lot ..... Some people here are very knowledgeable and can walk you thru many of the procedures that you can do your-self.... and the ADD-ons ...( Farkles ) can also be DIY ( do-it-yourself )..... I have done over 65 things to my 2014 RT and am not quite done. I have spent less then $600.00 ........ good luck and welcome ...... Mike

You're not alone there mcalva!

You've just gotta remember that you don't stop riding because you get old - you get old because you stop riding!!

Bienvenido, Juan Luis. No se cuando, pero en esta vida, quiero ir a Espana. (Siempre me olvido como se hacen los tildes y acentos).

Beautiful bike Juan! I hope your surgery goes well.

You live in a great country for riding. I have visited Spain several times, and since my wife is Portuguese, I expect I will visit again soon.

[Ranman42]

Enjoy your ryde.

I had an L4 L5 fusion 15 years ago. Through the belly to spine and from the back to spine.
Titanium rods also.
That operation was difficult and painful.
But! It gave me a brand new life!
I was eventually able to finish building my house and of course ride my motorcycle and finally my Spydet.
I wish and pray your success

I love R&R put another dime in the jukebox baby!

[gkamer]

Welcome Juan. I have to admit, your English is a whole lot better than my Spanish.

[Samson]

Welcome, Hope you enjoy the new ride.
