There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I wouldn't sell quite yet give yourself some time to think it over. I had quintuple bypass surgery 20 years ago and am still riding. The worst thing you can do is sit around you have to keep moving change your diet and exercise. You should try riding when you feel ready. Good Luck in what ever you decide to do.

That is a question you should be asking your doctor.

:agree:
Donec, Can I be so rude as to ask what other health problems you have that means your chest won't handle the workout of riding a Spyder?? Why does the Doctor THINK this'll be an issue? Does he KNOW any good reason you can't or shouldn't, as opposed to 'thinking' that?
I do know & acknowledge that everyone heals differently, & that you might not really be up to it, but hey, if you WANT to keep riding, I'd be finding a Dr that will advise you on how best to achieve that, not one who keeps telling you not to or that it can't be done!! I was only 28 years old the first time I was told that the brain, spinal, & other skeleto-muscular damage I'd received meant I would never walk or hold my kids again, & never get out of a hospital bed again; so I sacked those Drs & found some who had a better attitude, Drs who helped me return to full active duty & a full family life. Back then, going thru rehab I met a lot of really determined people who weren't going to let some pretty horrific damage & injuries slow them down, & they didn't!! Now that I've retired (again!!) & am spending more time with others with similar issues, I've met even more determined people; quite a few of whom are far worse off than me who were told all these things they could never do again but just decided that they WOULD do what they wanted & not what some Doctor told them they couldn't!! Like me, most of them have since found Doctors who are prepared to help & encourage them in achieving anything they want to....
From what I can see, having 'health issues' doesn't necessarily mean you hafta stop doing things or let them become restrictive 'health problems' unless you are prepared to let them.... Along with having supportive Medico's, your state of mind & approach are all-important to how you tackle this; rather than being told or thinking of what you CAN'T do, they & you should be thinking about what you should tackle as your next challenge in regaining the ability to do as much of everything you previously did as is possible, and getting back to doing all the things that you WANT to do!!
It's your life, LIVE IT as much as you can - Doctors are astounded every day by the things some people do when as far as the medical world 'thought' they couldn't or shouldn't be able to!! Do you WANT to keep riding your Spyder?? What exactly is stopping you?
Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, but it IS your life, it's up to you to make of it & do as much or as little as you want - the Doctor is really only there to help you achieve whatever you can! :thumbup:

Wish I could help, but I've been told I don't have a heart. I would suggest not making any quick decisions, everyone heals differently and at a different speed. By spring you might feel great and want to ride again. Besides, spring always brings more buyers if that is what you decide to do.

Hopefully this will help.
A gentleman had the same procedure and upon returning to his home, he suggested to his wife that it had been a long time sine they were intimate. The wife kept saying that she was afraid that he might have another incident and declined. In frustration the gentleman went to his doctor and asked him to write a letter to his wife assuring her that there wasn't a problem.
The doctor wrote the letter and read it to the gentleman,
Dear Mrs. Smith, this to assure you that Mr. Smith is healthy as a 20 year old he could make love 2-3 times a nite if so desired.
Mr. Smith listened to the letter and asked the doctor if he could make one small change to the letter? "Certainly, what would you liked changed" Mr. Smith said "Would you be so kind as to make it "To whom it may concern"
Ride when you feel like you can!!
