What a Great Day!

[NancysToy]

Today we had frost in the morning, but after lunch it was sunny and in the upper fifties. I couldn't stand it any more, so I decided to ride to my Physical Therapy appointment. My surgery was 37 days ago, and I was beginning to wonder if I would ever ride again. (It didn't seem to keep me from pre-ordering my RT-S, though. :D ) What a relief to ride again! I rode my BMW R1100RT as it is a bit easier on my leg than the Spyder. It was a bit tight, and I cramped some, but it was worth the effort. I am still grinning! After I rode to get gas and rode the long way home, I decided to get out the Spyder and try that, too.

After a PT session and a half hour ride on the Beemer, it was a bit tight and uncomfortable, but it was good to ride a Spyder again. Man, do I love these things!!! Thank you once again, BRP, for giving us such a wonderful toy. I could probably only ride the Spyder for a half hour or so at a time right now. I spent half that today and it was getting cramped and uncomfortable, but I was certainly able to get it done. I think I could do an hour or so pretty easily on my BMW, and may even try a ninety minute ride to a club meeting Saturday. As soon as the swelling goes down some more (or my Spyder RT-S comes in) I can do more. Great to be back in the saddle again. Sorry to go on and on but I just had to share the joy with someone. What a great day!!!

So glad your recovery and rehab has gone this quickly. Riding or ryding is good for the soul! Glad you had a great day. Hopefully this is the first of many great days this fall before winter arrives! :congrats:

I wish I'd been out there ryding, but I picked up some nasty bug in Gatlinburg and have been bed-ridden for the last 4 days. :(

[NewRider]

Glad to hear you're getting better, fella.:thumbup: Heck, I get a smile on my face, just going out to the garage to climb on my Spider...:f_spider:

[RodO]

IMHO, psychotherapy is as important as physiotherapy, and you sure are a testament to that! Good on ya, and keep it up!

Cheers,
Rod.

Hey Scotty;

glad you are doing well. Keep smilin" you know we need therapy for the soul and mind as well as our body. Ryding is such great therapy for the mind and soul. :D

I never listen to doctors. :D

[NancysToy]

Thanks for all the kind words. You folks are the greatest! It is a privilege to call you all friends.

[BRPjunkie]

I'm just plain envious since I used the nice weather yesterday to ride my Toro and get the grass cut before the week of rain sets in. Smart choice would have been let the grass go and go on the Spyder. Just hoping for some Indian Summer. Good riding days will be few and far between now, so glad to hear you got a ride in.

[MizMuffet]

After breaking my leg in June and missing the next 10 weeks of riding season recovering, I know just how great it feels to climb back on. :congrats: Wishing you many myles of smyles.
