Kudos to you for knowing when enough is enough. Hope you have plenty of other fun activities, I'm sure you earned it.

This thread
serves to remind me that I am highly blessed. I am 79 (closer to 80 than 79) and still able to ride and thoroughly enjoy it. Praise be to the Lord!

 Never say never
The reason that I have an RT is because of a man made knee that some illegitimate ortho butchered. The other knee was done in 2014. Yes, I do have to lift the right leg with my right hand but I still climb on the RT and go for it. This is one of the few pleasures that I still get to enjoy. Don't sell it until you heal. Look at that beautiful motorcycle and let that be your motivation. Keep saying" I will ride again". I'm not telling you anything that I didn't live out.

Sorry to see you go. I was/am looking forward to years yet of riding my Spyder. I'm 62 and just recently diagnosed with serious A-Fib and tachycardia (180 beats per minute). Leaving Saturday for a bucket list ride to see the Fall foliage in New England by way of NC (home state), VA, WV, OH, PA, NY, VT, MA (& Cape Cod), RI, CT, NY, NJ, DE, MD, VA, NC. I just added it in advance to my map. I'll have you with me in spirit my friend.

The body knows when the body knows. Take care of yourself and hopefully we don't have to much snow this year. (I'm a fellow minnesotan)
If you ever get that itch again, look me up and I'll give ya the keys for a spin. I'm just south of you in Rockford. Take care......

Craig's List here has about 100 Spyders for sale. No such thing as a classified ad anymore. I just don't want the hassel. Dealer takes 15% which I know is high but doable. This forum has been a lot of fun to follow. I never really had any issues with my Spyder but just can't handle it anymore.
Best to you, sir!!
