I am paranoid about stopping!

Have faith in your signutare quote: With God, all things are possible. This is possible and you will be crusing around on your Sypder by yourself before you know it. The more you ryde the better you will feel. I actually had the nerve to race some young guy on his HD this weekend. Nothing major just a stop light to stop light race but after leaving him behind from two stop lights he stopped trying to race. LOL BTW the breaks worked great stopping me between lights.

Thanks, Dilyles. I think for right now I'll probably just 'race' in our SS Hoping to get some more seat time in soon, weather permitting. Yes, I take my quote very seriously, as I know all is possible through Him. God bless and have a great day!

Woo Hoo! I Can Stop and Am Ryding the Highway!

How about an update on how you are doing. Hopefully things are better for you by now! Please let us know.

Thanks SpyderLady! I am doing a lot better, been getting more practice and actually rode today. I'm trying to get more highway time and rode to a restaurant, about 10 miles from home, all highway, and returned home the same way. No big problems, only stalled once but got going again with no problems, and enjoyed the ryde. With this crazy weather here in NC, have to get out while it's half-way decent. Was a beautiful, 63 degree day here, and expecting snow and rain coming in on Saturday and Sunday! Thanks again for the help and support!!

if you've never ridden before, and just learned on a Spyder...;
you're one up on most crossover riders. you don't have two-wheel
habits to put behind you; and you'll learn the habits of how to ride
the bike you're going to be on.

much of it will come from what's known as "muscle memory". after
a while of riding the Spyder... it'll become instinctive; and you'll
do fine. my Wife had never ridden and I taught her on our RTS; and
she's done well. after two hip replacements, she's also more
comfortable on our trike, than she was on my two wheelers. so just
get all the saddle time you can and you'll be racking up some miles.

Thanks, George. No, I had never ridden before, and am much more comfortable on the Spyder. I really am trying to get more seat time and hope there will be a trike MS course in the spring. Thanks for the encouragement and kudos to your wife as well.

Just a suggestion for you on a ride group that might be in your area. The Chrisitan Motorcyclists Association welcomes all types of bikes and are a great group to learn riding techniques from. There may be a chapter in your area and you do not have to belong to the association to participate with them. Keep riding and enjoy the countryside the Lord has made.

Thanks, CMA Cowboy. We have ridden with the Christian motorcyclists before and they are a good group of people. Bruiser (my husband) is with the Guardian Brotherhood Riding Club, which is active and retired military and are very good at helping me, too. I appreciate it and God bless!

Our GWRRA chapter in Cary, NC is having a Parking Lot Practice (PLP) course on April 7 and will have an afternoon session for trikes. I did it last summer the day after I got my Spyder. If you or anyone else is interested, let me know. Spyders have been specifically invited since our chapter leaders are trained PLP instructors. i'll be happy to take it with you.
