    Turning 46 next week. I guess I am just a forward thinker. The rest of my two wheel friends will buy their Spyders in 15 years.

    My sincere condolences. My bride and I celebrated our 57th just last week but she has a long list of maladies we have to cope with. God bless and be safe.

    I know how you feel. My wife of 39 years passed in 2007 and I still think of the pain that caused. It never went away but life has gone on and new life experiences with kids grandkids and now great grandkids gets piled on. The joy of remembering the good times with her and the new good times with family have helped to dull the pain. It will always be there but not near so sharp.

    Happy TRAils/NSD

    Apparently I am still a youngster at 71. Been riding since about 15. Take care of yourself when you are young cus if you don't you will pay for it later. All stay safe and continue enjoy yourselves riding whatever it may be.

    Made it to 70 this year, my bride and I celebrated 47 years this year. she has been my anchor all these years and I do not want to contemplate life without her. She loves to ride as much as I do and that makes me a lucky man.

    I will be 80 in 6 months. I still ride my Spyder a hundred mile cruise just about year around, as long as it’s 50 degrees or over and not raining. I have 56,000 miles on my 2016 RTL and had 55,000 on my 2012 when I traded it for the 2016. I still ride my 2009 Harley Heritage Classic, and have 35 000 miles on it. I have the usual hip, back, Knees, and leg pains, but still have all of my original OEM body parts, and have not had any replacements,.....YET. I just endure the pain, with lots of Pain Creams after each ride. As long as I can still mount my Steeds , and keep em right side up, and keep my Driver’s License, I plan to keep on riding both of them,.....until I can no longer swing my leg over the seats to mount them. I just grab my right pant leg, to lift my right foot on and off the seat getting on and off. I don’t use Pain Meds,....yet,....but still am keeping that as a last option.

    61 here, been riding 2 wheels since 1974 and swapped to the spyder in 2014 for no other reason than I liked the look of the spyder and wanted to be different. Now on my second spyder and very unlikely to return to a two wheeler .. spyders eat up the miles way better than any 2 wheeler, plus they do it with comfort and style!
    I love how the earth rotates around the sun ... it really makes my day!

Speaking of slow to get up, checking rear tire pressure usually finds me prone on the garage floor. Then the tough job of getting up.

    Well I have made it 71 years so far. Actually a late bloomer as I didn't start riding motorcycles till I was 29. I have seen many motorcycles come and go and I'm on my third Spyder now. I do love my Spyder but my favorite of all the bikes I have owned was my 2006 SE Triumph Rocket III. It was a beast and the best weight balanced bike of all of them.
