From two to three

[Kid5]

I have owned three motorcycles, the last being a VTX 1300, did a lot of riding and thoroughly enjoyed it. A year ago I developed a virus known as Guillian-Barre that caused paralysis from my waist down to my toes. After having to go from my two wheel motorcycle to my two wheel wheelchair, and taking almost six months learning to walk again, I have been so wanting to get back out on the road with the wind in my face. I have only 50 percent strength in my legs so balancing the bike has become totally impossible.

After a a great deal of thinking I decided to purchased a 2015 Spyder RT Special edition, red and black. I get to pick it up next weekend and am very excited to do so. This girl is very thankful to be back on the road again in good health and so looking forward to putting lots of fun miles on my Spyder.

Kid5, glad to hear you are taking the steps necessary to get back riding, good for you. I suffered a TBI in 2001 and have similar issues. The Spyder has given me back something I was sure was gone for good. There is a group, Enabled Riders, her, you should check out.
Good luck with the SPM! (Smiles Per Miles)

I too had Guilliam Barre" syndrome over 30 years ago. I pretty much recovered everything but 11 years ago I injured my spinal column and had neck surgery. After that my legs and shoulders were never the same but wife and I did keep riding. After a bought of vertigo I added a bolt on trike kit. It was nice but not as fun. After 4-5 years of that and more shoulder issues we bought a 2013 Rt and love it. I love the power steering. I'm adding some goodies this winter and will post them soon. Enjoy the ride. Glad you have recovered so much. Keep going1:2thumbs:

Okay, today was supposed to be the big day to pick up my new Spyder, but have to wait until tomorrow. It is just plus 9 so am going down tomorrow, will keep you posted on how it goes. I am very excited. Not certain what to expect handling wise, but I will master it regardless.

Enjoy the ride!

:agree::yes::yes::yes: :welcome: :congrats:..................Me & Dee :ohyea:

Well picked up my spyder and have driven it twice. Love it so much. Tonight I got to go for a good ride and loved the way it handles. Have to perfect the cornering a bit more. On the whole I give it a 10.

I can can honestly say it is a totally different ride than the two wheels but I am so happy to be back out on the road again. I cannot wipe the smile off my face.

Am so enjoying my ride. Today got my attention real quick when the high winds were blowing from my left and pushing me around a bit. I recall when I was a beginner two wheeler the wind scaring the crap out of me. A couple good gusts and My grip became much firmer, but once I got used to what to expect all was well. Had a great ride and am so loving being back out riding again.

:clap::clap:

I see you love it too! I love Spyders because they let so many get to experience this love. I am so happy for you, and thrilled you get this experience. Why not ride down to Spyderfest in MO next week? We will all be there! Joe

It's a bit like a sailboat, when you are in the major wind gusts!
Congrats on your recovery and new ride. Enjoy!

Just an update on how things are going with my Spyder.. Have had it out several times now and am becoming more comfortable with the cornering. Got a bit of speed going today and what a thrill. Beautiful day, great ride, what more could one ask?
