I was reading the list late tonight and I simply thought about you ......    Justin, how is the post wreck healing going?

In the same vein, Lancer --- how are you doing?

MM, last I saw you were kinda like Lancer last time I actually saw him, keeping up but not always having a good time doing it.    How are you feeling?

Dave, ditto for you and your wife, how are you guys getting along?

My last bike (2002 LS650) is up for sale this spring, does anybody here on list want to buy it or my cam chains, bits and pieces & spare parts collection ????

Otherwise, it goes to the locals for yard sale prices.

The rotator cuff is damaged, but I just don't think I can do that surgery. My other shoulder was also injured, both of them hang up and thump sometimes. The surgery recovery on the left shoulder was really rough, so I think I'm just gonna live with the right shoulder. The rest of me is pretty clapped out anyway.
Gonna be a lucky SunnuvaBITCH who gets to do that autopsy.

Someone will be scratching their head

Wondering

Good grief,, how did this old fart get so beat up?

Thanks for asking..

Just because we get beat up or old is no reason to discount the older riders among us.    We accepted all of you as you were (all puppy young and silly frisky) so don't be discounting us now.

Running just from memory here, so I will leave stuff out due to not thinking of it.

25,000 mile LS650 that just needs a battery to run.

two super duty cam chains

A spare first over jug, spare standard sized piston

oil filters

air filter

Misc small repair pieces

A set of mirrors and turn signal lights (some parts missing from use, but mostly there)

A spare darksider tire (new)

If interested, make me an offer for the lot of it and bring up a trailer.




BTW, I live in Fayetteville NC not Charlotte

e-poof-funny  

That's what ya call it when a new understanding floods the heart , soul and mind, and the C.P.U. goes
Poof, and the smoke gets out.

O/F, I am still moving.  Not fast or quick, but one step at a time.  
I've been on the once a month shot for migraines; 6 months so far, and improvement is gradual but  is helping.  There is a higher dose available and I am going to ask my neurologist to go to the higher dose, so hopefully it is more effective.  I see him today actually.

Other issues are under control for now.
Prayer is essential.

God is good.

I got asked "how much" and in what condition so I made someone a "steal price" considering all the extra stuff I am moving out of the garage with the bike.

As far as condition goes, it needs a battery and fresh gas to become a full runner again.

MM and Dave know the bike, ask them for reference.

I am doing well physically.....no aches, pains, hurts or disfunctions that I am aware of.  I started going back to the gym each morning so I can keep the 600+ pound motorcycle plus passenger plus luggage upright for as long as possible - that way Deb and I can go on overnight trips when the time and weather allows.  When I was 56 I was a gym rat and I was in the best physical shape of my life - but I got burned out on it and now 8 years later at 64 I am just a bit less conditioned.

Deb is still in the recovery process from her dive injury.  She has neuropathy from the waist down and she has little feeling - it is slowly getting better and they expect she will recover to0 95%......it may take a couple more years.  She can walk around enough to function somewhat normally - she can do some hiking as long as the trails are not difficult.    

I plan on making a monthly trips down to TN/NC/GA that begins as soon as the weather breaks.  The trips will likely start on a Wed/Thur and last for 2-3 days if the weather permits.  Anyone is welcome to meet me there - but there will not be a lot of advanced planning.  If the weather forecast looks promising - I will go.  I don't want to go when the chances of rain are high....good weather riding is much more fun.

Oldfeller - I am sorry your riding days are over.  Unfortunately we all go through those life changes, and have to adapt.  The good news is that we "did" get to do some fun things when we were healthy and have good memories.

Pushing weight,, all I feel is the burn..
But, riding a ten speed is enough fun to distract from the burn..
