    Default We are officially crazy! Ed's on chemo and...

    WE BOUGHT ANOTHER SPYDER! We now own a 2012 Lava Bronze RT Limited as well as our 2008 GS/RS Phantom. Ed can't jump up and down like me since he's tethered to an IV pole. He started Chemo Round 2, coming in to the hospital today for the next 4-5 days. His methotrexate level needs to be under a certain value in order to be discharged (We're hoping for Sat/Sun). He is on MTX for 24 hrs, then he'll be getting a second drug intermittently for the next 48 hrs. We are that he does as well with this round as he did with the first one.

    His hair was getting rather splotchy so we shaved it all off last night. He's been debating getting a pierced ear so he'll look like Mr. Clean...he preferred that moniker over YODA! I told him I have plenty of orphan earrings that he could wear (you know, those ones that are missing their mate).

    In any event, now we own and we only have one M endorsement between us...guess I better start practicing my driving!

    Thank you. Wanted to let you know I love the colors on your bike. Hope to see you at Spyderfest. We've got quite a few months to figure out how to transport TWO Spyders.

    My mom is a 6 time survivor of melanoma, so I kind of know what you are going through. I hope all goes well and will keep you in our prayers.

    P.S. mom will be 82 in december.

    That is just fantastic! My prayers are with you both. I'm a three time cancer survivor and on my second Spyder, 2012 RT-S. wanting a Spyder (my '09) is what kept me going and having the desire to get it done and get out of the Hospital. Best of everything, live each day to the fullest, and don't put off for tomorrow what you can do today!

    I think it must have been thinking of Arntufun that was making me toss and turn last night saying " , what did we just do?" Better get moving, Arntufun...time for an RT for Holly.

    Of course we got an SE...it's a Limited. I don't know about knocking walls down, though! We have a enclosed motorcycle trailer we may have to start using (or I'll just have to follow Erags on our trips). I definitely need to take driving lessons for the toyhauler, too!

    Question: Florida motorcycle licensing reqirements...
    Can you operate it on a permit? What is required in order to obtain the motorcycle endorsement on your license?

    In Florida you have to take the MSF Safety course. It is on 2 wheels in our are of the Panhandle - Central Florida does offer a 3 wheel course. Pass the course and you get your endosement. No three wheel courses in our area.

    Cheryl -- congrats on your new RT --- you realize you are making things difficult for all of us!!!

    ...So the State requires you to take a course that they don't make available for you...
    I think that I'd be chewing on somebody's ear at the local DMV office about this one!
