HI
Hello Hi everyone my name is mick and i need your help, i need as much firsthand info on the SPYDER as i think im goin to buy one very soon . I have been a motocycle rider for 35 yrs until i was run over on my triumph by a road train that ran a stop sign eight yrs ago, i have been in a wheelchair ever since i am not para but have been realy smashed up from knee to hip both sides (my phsio says my x-rays look like broken cookies) but i have finnally healed up enough to get back on the road im still not strong enough in the legs to hold up a bike when stopped so i thought when i saw a spyder online that one of them would be just the thing for me, so i need your firsthand knowledge/experience to aid me in my choice as to accesories and how to ride the spyder as i suspect it will be very different from a two wheeler, i have ridden a four wheeler and i suspect it may be similar ...but i just dont know . any help will be appreciated
Cheers m.j.ruhdorf (fester)
P.S has anyone got plans for a chair rack that is not mounted to the swingarm ?

Hi Mick, I went to the spyder this year because leg issues. Hand brake and floor boards did the trick. All available on this site, with lots of help and advice. A really great and helpful group. You can take the dog with some work, check out BlueKnight911 on this site, Mike has a trailer for his dog. Good luck Steve.

cheers from a very happy new owner mick 20120906_130255-1.jpg
Congrats on taking the plunge. It's hard to refrain from the rolling burnouts for sure! Enjoy the ride
