    Default Personal favor?

    One of our sites members, UrsaMajor, is undergoing serious chemotherapy which is affecting his heart. (I wouldn't call attention to this except he's already mentioned it on the forum) Worse of all, he's taking some treatment drugs that mean being out in the Alabama heat and bright sunshine set him back, so his beloved 2014 RT Limited is pretty much put away until Fall when the weather gets nice. Fortunately, this grumpy old man has a kind and beautiful wife to shore him up in the meantime, but wives and Spyders affect different parts of your brain and neither completes you without the other.

    As a fellow three-wheeler and Spyder Farkler, would some of you send him some forum encouragement? Otherwise he might just sit and stare at his parked bike.

    Is he checking in here during this rough time? Would Private Messages work, or do you think that an open thread of support might get the message delivered faster?

    He's checking in, and although I hate to speak on his behalf I say let 'er rip. He has thanked the doctors and staff at the hospital where he's getting treatment on Facebook, so I don't think he'll be embarrassed at some chatter here. Moreover, I don't mind embarrassing him at all!

    If you want to use the private messages that's OK too.

    Cool Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes

    My friend Dale has exceeded his implied authority in making this post but I thank him anyway........

    You guys really know how to support and cheer up a despondent Spyder Ryder.

    I hope to be able to ryde in the early morning or late afternoon when it's not 180° with 388% humidity.

    New meds mean I'm extremely sensitive to sunshine so long sleeves (I normally wear my summer riding gear anyway) and sun screen on the exposed skin. Not a big thing just another precaution to take

    BOB..... awesome picture........ My nickname has more to do with the heavens than the earth but still enjoyed the pic..... may have to steal it for a bio pic or something.

    Again, thanks all for the response....... AWESOME and APPRECIATED.
