Featured Not A "real" Ride On My Triumph...but I'll Take It!

Hey, gang! It was a beautiful day in Arizona and Mr. Sandi, bless his heart, pulled all of my motorcycles out of the garage, aired up the tires, started them up. Before he pulled my Speed Triple back into the garage I was able to throw a leg over my beloved Triumph and START IT UP! Oh my, oh my, oh my. I nearly cried I was so happy just to be sitting on my bike again and hear and feel it through my whole being. As you can see, I wasn't in my riding gear, just a tee-shirt, cap, tights, and sneakers. I don't think I'll be in riding gear any time soon. That elbow with the tat doesn't bend beyond 90º...yet.

Not a "real ride" on my Triumph--but I'll take it!

 

P.S. That tat on my left forearm reads, "Faith, Hope, & Love". How appropriate is that in these dark days?? And I'm seeing it a whole lot more than I did prior to breaking my elbow. No coincidence, I'm sure.

 

Thanks, Joe! I was super happy sitting there on my speed triple yesterday! Yes, you are right. Take things slowly and be patient. One day at a time. We’ve said those things most of our lives and now we’re really learning how to live them. I appreciate your support, encouragement, and kind words very, very much. ♥️ I know that when all of this is over, most everyone will appreciate many things in life as we never have before.

 

Thanks, @Dartplayer! What a creative and supportive perspective. Thanks for the best wishes! I hope you and your loved ones are staying healthy.

 

OK, I have no photos to corroborate this so you can believe it or not. Several days ago Mr. Sandi offered to "exercise" my Speed Triple by taking it out on an essential errand. So I got on it in the garage, stood it up, pulled in the clutch and fired it up, and backed it out of the garage into the driveway! As I said in the title of this thread, "not a real ride on my Triumph but I'll take it!" Thank goodness for incremental progress. And HOPE!!!
