Dear List Members:
I want to thank every body that gave me their perspective input and their sincere best wishes for the dilemma that I am facing. (Whether to park my bikes for 9 months or continue to ride while on blood thinners) I received a multitude of responses, all and each of which, were well thought out and had only my well being in mind. ST riders are the best source of information one can have at their fingertips. Also, some of the best people to have a friends.
The responses that I receive ranged from: Park The Bikes---- to ---- Ride like there is no tomorrow----- to every thing in between. I am still in the decision process and trying to analyze all the different aspects of which ever route I choose. As I have said, and also many of you have reiterated, only I can make this decision. Luckily I have the support of my wonderful wife of 34 years, in which ever way I decide to go.
Five minutes after our discussion with the Doc, she gave me the best advise I can think of.
"Think not only about ones physical health but also think about ones mental health. Life is a balancing act and it is only as good as the balance one provides. Try to find that balance." She does understand how much of my persona is riding motorcycles, even though she has no interest in them.
So, in the short of things, I still have not made a choice as of yet. I imagine I won't know until I walk out in the garage on the 1st of Sept to leave for WESTOC.
I guess you all are going to have to come to WESTOC to find out.
Anybody coming thru Wichita Falls via 287, about 7 am Friday the first of Sept?
See you all at WESTOC:03biker:
PS, the responses that I received were 50%, park bikes and 50%, some type of riding. This is a diverse group.
THANK YOU ALL:bow1:
