I'm now at home after 2months in hospital. Hip, spline and other sociated things like y right arm are now netal plated, Still have a bit of a 'hitch in my get-along'. That will improve and be back to normal with the concious effort of walking straight. Right arm from wrist joint to elbow was pretty well shattered. Back together now with help of a titanium plate. Have full use of everything and am practicing my elualiberium with my /schwinn electric kick-scooter. Be back on my originally bought ne 81 Yamaha 1100 Venturer for the touring and LD riding. As a shafty, it's even s bit smoother and more comphy(have dozed off several times on it) than the STeed was with it even having road pegs, Corbin seat, and fully adjustable Heli-Bars. ..........Sorry for the delayfellow riders as I temp. forgot my password. Musta been fron the frontal brain area memory loss due to impact. Anyways, still here, upright , awnry and jokingly arrogant as ever Should have scoot uncoverd and be back on two wheels by first of November! You all ride safe, ATGATT..............Brant.
