Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Good to hear your doing better. Still sending prayers your way buddy.

 

awesome glad you are home already!!

maybe we can do a late summer BBQ in a few months

 

Thanks Matt and can’t wait to see your new bike

That would be fun! Hopefully I’ll be able to drive my truck at that point

 

dont worry you can host lol

ill bring the 110 so you can ease your way back into it

if its not too soon of course, I am sure your wife will love us all

 

Lol that could work…

And definitely need to start small, first goal is riding my mountain bike. Then a little dirt bike or Grom.

I don’t want to put my wife through this again. But hard to imagine giving it up, riding is my passion and really part of my identity…so many factors to consider.

 

Are you trying to take away David’s excuse for a ride? The nerve!

 

this is kinda funny

Let me know if you decide to do this, I could be in for a ride. Sunday is better for me as I really need to mount 2 new tires on Saturday. My front tire is about done right now, wear bars are now flush with remaining tread.

 

Sunday is better for me too, but he said not needed for now.

Id be in for an end of summer BBQ at his place haha! @FreshOldTaco

 

There's one at my local dealer and I don't dare go take a look at it. Congrats on your soon to be bike!

 

I truly appreciate it and would love to see you guys rolling through on the motorbikes but I should probably take it easy this weekend and relax before the surgery. Also been so stressful playing catch up with everything. Hopefully soon though. It’s gonna be rough having both hands casted up next week

 

It's tough getting back on following something like that. After my g/f and I got hit back in 2019 I wasn't sure how she would feel about riding again even though I knew I was getting back on. Don't feel like you have to rush and should you decide it's time to stop I don't think anyone will look at you any differently. I have a few friends no longer riding on the street but still ride just doing track days.

 

Sounds like it's time to have a bidet installed.

 

This place is insane.

Seems super underwhelming for trucks though.

 

Good advice thanks Chuck

Already checking them out lol

 

Thank you I can't wait. Looking forward to a new ride. Didn't realize when I put the order in for the exhaust it's 4 to 6weeks wait time. But kinda works out. Since I won't be getting the bike for another 2 weeks.
Correction 3 weeks.

 

Great news that you're already home. Hoping your recovery keeps going smoothly.

 

Thanks man I’m feeling really fortunate. Also glad you didn’t go down the other day.

I just got back from the doctor appointment and he was surprised to see me walking in without a crutch. Said I’m doing really well. Got to see an X-ray of the rod in my leg - crazy it starts at my hip all the way down to my knee.

He also mentioned he worked on multiple people that weekend involved in motorcycle accidents that were much worse and are still in the hospital. So lucky I’m up on my feet this quickly and was able to make progress at rehab. Still have a ways to go but happy to know I’ll get through this and be back to mostly normal at some point.

 

I might be interested if David passes.
