    Default The deed is done

    Bought a new 09 red se5 yesterday.

    I'm 66, and people that I know who ride are very supportive, those who don't ride think the old guy has totally lost it...

    Looking forward to picking it up about the 11th or 12th of Nov.

    I've learned alot from this site so far, expect to learn a whole lot more, and hope to be able to add something as I gain some experience.

    In case anyone is interested, I found the only MSF trike riders course in Arizona. The Arizona School of Progressive Riding, on Luke AFB. Their website is http://www.azproriding.com/azproriding/index.html.

    Default OLD MAN?????

    welcome
    You are never too old. I am 65 and my wife and I have ridden 28,000 miles in 11 months on our SE5. Just enjoy your Spyder, ride it the way you want to, not like everybody tells to do. It's a whole new world with adventures awaiting you around every corner or open road. We have friends moving to Hereford, so may get to meet you soon.
    2008 GS SE5 in 2008
    Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
    2010 RT SM5 in 2011
    Traded at 57,000 for a left over
    2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
    Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
    Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!

    Never had any breakdown stranded issues.

    66 isn't old and it's only a number anyway - it's all how you think and feel!

    Seems only appropriate that you take your first ride on Route 66.
