    Congrats on the new ride. One of my favorite shows to just relax and watch is Bob's Burger. The little girl with the rabbit ears on that show has a saying, "the best part of living is almost dying. It's called almost live dying". She's a little psyco, but so am I. Glad you are still here to enjoy life.

    Excellent! The spyder is what got my wife back on the road with fists in the air after a nasty spill on a two-wheeler.

    It Was! Funny story I didn't see that one on their website so I went in figuring I'd have to order it and there it was. Destiny

    Wow, it's great that you've bounced back and tackled the wind again. You'll love the Spyder experience.

    But I'm curious about your use of the phrase near death experience, because it has a recognized meaning these days... as in nderf.org (Near Death Experience Research Foundation dot Org). It refers to people who actually died but were resuscitated, then relate their experience on the "other side." The testimonies can be astounding!

    Is this what happened to you? Or did you mean it was just a near-fatal accident? Either way, welcome to this wonderful life in Spyderdom!

    Near fatal, slid down on loose gravel from some dump truck dropped on a 90 degree turn coming up put her on her side and went into the wire guardrail in which I smacked my head on the post and knocked me unconscious woke up just as the ambulance got there with a broken hand and collarbone. Helmet saved my life along with the leather gear saved me from the road rash.
