Featured Rideout Mileage Therapy: A Little Feast Before A Bit Of A Famine

Thanks, Nikki! So nice to "see" you here on the forum. I'm glad you enjoyed the write-up. I realized that I hadn't done one for a very long time so it was fun to put a story and pics together again.

Thanks for the healing wishes from across the pond. I can feel them!

 

Fingers crossed for you for good weather, @Dartplayer. Looking forward to seeing some photos and reports on those rides, fishing, and the track training!

 

Thanks, @learningtofly! I haven't posted much in the past few months and finally felt motivated to post after our short but oh-so-sweet trip last weekend. So many wonderful sights to see and share.

Thanks also for the kind comments regarding my surgery. I'm healing up well and can do more and more with my hand daily. Don't worry, I'll be conservative and make darned sure I'm ready to ride again before doing so. Having been off the bikes for seven months in 2020 due to the elbow and pelvis fractures, waiting another week or two this time around will seem like nuthin'. Well, I say that today. I can't vouch if I'll feel the same in a few weeks.

 

I like your priorities, @Oldskool! I'm a rightie so the only thing affecting my alcohol intake is being able to get the bottle open. Thanks for the good luck wishes.

 

Thanks, Markus! My hand is betting more functional with each passing day. I'm glad you enjoyed my report. I look forward to having rides to report on soon!

 

Thanks, @Wessa! No apologies needed. Thanks for the kind words about both my ride write up and my surgery. I think my Speedy will help with my speedy return to riding what with it's slick quick shifter and light(er) clutch pull. How's your knee doing? I hope it's improving and that your upcoming consultation produces some positive news.

 

Hi, Steve, good to hear from you and I'm glad to see you're getting in some miles, too, even in the cold. Thanks for the kind comments about my write up and photos. And I especially thank you for your well wishes for my speedy recovery. I'm itching to ride already! Thankfully we had three days of rain so I was able to stop fretting about not getting out to ride on a beautiful sunny day. Oh yeah, and I guess we live in the desert in a drought so there were additional reasons to be thankful for the rain.

 

Thanks for the good wishes, @Dawsy. I figure there are a lot of things these days over which I've no control so I'm trying to do a better job of at least controlling my attitude (or at least choosing it). I'm exactly one week out from my surgery and able to do WAY more things than even a few days ago. Riding a motorcycle certainly isn't one of them...yet. But as you said, "soon"! And, yes, it will be on Speedy.

Sorry to read about your weather. Sunny, warmer days will be here before you know it!
