Just saying HI!
Still mostly bedridden recuperating from the Motorcycle accident of 8/31 that totally wiped out my "clutch ankle".
I was pushing 10-12 hours a day on the '68 and hope to bounce back to where I left off in another month or so.
In the meantime - just know that I really miss all you tools.
The laptop at the bedside is hard for my big fingers to type with.

From yet another rider, best hopes for a speedy (as possible) recovery. I don't believe you ever said if you were going to get back on two wheels again. Hope something like this doesn't hurt your riding passion. Often times accidents sway the riders choice. You know the deal though..........if you fall off a horse, you just............
Good luck and good to hear back from you!

I rode a (street legal) XR600R Honda. I can easily envision off road activity (assuming my ankle comes back to 90%) - the street scares me. But I'm still in post traumatic stress mode - so time will tell.
I still have my XR250R and plan on getting on it the day the cast comes, off even if just to tour my property and count trees.
I did put some OHRV time in on my riding lawnmower - LOL!
