Why wait?

Got to be honest, I'd still be riding on 2 wheels if the stroke I had in 09 hadn't left me with a balance problem.

I can no longer drop a bike into a corner at speed and be confident of bringing it upright again, my balance when the horizon tips becomes too confused to cope. Being safe is a huge factor, not for myself so much as for the sake of other road users.

But the good news is I CAN corner safely on my RT because it takes its corners flat, or as flat as makes no difference. My brain can cope OK with a level platform, it enables it to keep in touch with where the horizon is and that's all it needs for stability. No surprises works best.

We sold our bike and the RT came to our attention at just the moment when we were considering selling our helmets and riding gear. Truth is, it's great to get dressed up and go riding, to climb aboard and disappear down the road.

In so many ways it feels like we are back on 2 wheels again. Not quite, but almost... :thumbup:

After owning two-wheelers most of my life, I retired from riding about ten years ago.
I recently re-married after my wife passed with cancer. We saw a Spyder at Johnson's Shut Ins State Park and both fell in love with it. My wife informed me
in no uncertain terms that would be the only kind of bike she would feel comfortable riding, so five years later we became HAPPY KAMPERS, with a new Spyder, and loving every minute. Thanks Lamonster for this site, as it is the first thing in the morning I pull up on the computer.
