What did you do to your Spyder today?

Thx. Appreciate the good thoughts. Hopefully this one goes as smooth as the left one did.

Good luck with the shoulder. I have had both knees replaced and both shoulders "repaired". Actually ... the knees got me onto three wheels with trikes, and the shoulders (mostly the right one) got me onto a Spider. After the repair (a year) I was cleared to ride the Tri ... 20 miles and I almost ruined the docs work. Another 6 months (during which I sold the Tri) and I thought my riding days were over. A friend of mine came to town and let me ride his Spyder. I was amazed at how smooth and easy it steered. Commenced the search and found my current ride.

Okay ... so my Lamonster mirror locks and the tie downs came in yesterday ... So maybe I will get them installed. But one thing that will definitely happen is a ride ... and will happen everyday until there is snow on the ground here ... always hated spiders ... who knew I could love a Spyder?????

I too went the trike route with a TriGlide (after a ton of 2 wheel Harleys) due to bad knees (3 surgeries). As Is got older the shoulder started acting up (arthritis) so time to get them fixed. I also tried a friends Spyder and knew that was the right move. I ride with a group of guys who all have BMWs and Goldwings. I have no trouble keeping up like I did with the TriGlide.

My last shoulder surgery, May 31, 2022, was my 25th. Let's just say I might not have been a good steward of my body. Thirteen knee operations including both replaced. The rest range from knife stab to Shark bite (just kidding but it was a great story). The twenty Five does not count three colonoscopies or circumcism ... LOL.

Actually, I am surprised I made 70. As a youngin, never figured I'd reach 45. In the navy they wanted a list of scars to be used for identification ... I needed another piece of paper to list them ... .
