I managed to ride the ST1100 to a Dr. appt. on Friday. About 10 miles round trip in traffic. Tucson is one of those places where you can't get anywhere without hitting at least 15 red lights. Felt good to be out on the bike in the cool of the morning. I didn't tip over, all my healthcare providers, my sister, and my mom are relieved that I didn't die. So I guess that's progress.
My pain level is mostly tolerable, to the point where the pain only gets acute if I aggravate by overdoing. Which I tend to do. Been doing wiring on the Harley lately. Lots of sitting on a foam pad on the carport floor. Wheels coming off today for a trip to the independent dealer/shop for a new set of tires and balancing. Wish I could afford to have the wheels powdercoated. On my table, I'm doing prep work to put a set of 1200 pistons and cylinders on the Harley (currently an 883.) I love having a project bike!
Happy Memorial Day to Vets and families of Vets. Those who keep the home fires (as opposed to house fires!) burning also sacrifice and serve our country. And despite what one cuckoo Presidential candidate says, it is a great country! As an owner of a 118,000 mile ST1100, I realize that even great things need love and care!
