Default Back in the wind

Well, I wanted to be a part of the charity run for the air ambulance service. The organizers wanted me to speak about my experience. When I showed up, the dealer had a Tri-Glide ready for me to go on the run with. So... A big thank you to Heritage HD and the organizers! It felt great to be out there!

That's great man, glad to see you back on a bike and that you were able to take part in the event. Took ***** to get back on a bike after what you've been through.

Sweet! I'm glad you did it. Those people put themselves at risk to save others and don't get enough credit. And Thanks for posting a picture. How did it feel on a trike?

Not bad, but the seating position did a bit of a number on my hips - a result of my pelvis being shattered. I think something where I could stretch out and have multiple leg positions available and a custom seat would solve the issue. Something like what I have pictured here might be the ticket.

Hopefully, in time, things will get back to normal for you. Are you going to get a trike when you start riding again? Too bad they won't let you keep the one in the first picture...or the one in the later shots...that is if you're leaning toward a trike for a full time bike. Just getting back on a bike, would be a huge obstacle for me.
