I'm preoccupied with my own healing. Not being able to ride isn't much of a concern at the moment. I did drive the Miata a couple miles today while the kids were both gone. First time since 7/15. That was a chore. Still not ready for any real driving duties. Range of motion and weakness makes steering and shifting slow, clumsy, a nd painful. Took two hands to get into reverse. Thanks for asking. I'm so happy to see you progressing so fast. Gives me motivation to watch.

found out why my rear brakes were sticking.... the bushing/pivot shaft were stuck. guess the bushing or whatever it was glued with had become swollen.

update: found this... guess "its a thing":
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...-sticking.html


i bored it out a bit with a hone then, went to reassemble the brakes... boom, the screw shears off... mutherf^&%$$%&*(

scoping


finding...


boring


shearing


crying


happy to say that i'm not pissed at all... had to fix it or risk death from random rear lock up.. two happened yesterday on the way to the dealer for alarm programming... bike just sudden got slower and took more throttle to accelerate. not a play thing. parts are 40 bucks. ordered in a rebuild kit i don't need that was $68. return the kit, get the mount and screw.. saved 28 bucks. party.

This sucks but its still one of those things where its better to have happened now in the garage than something similar out on the road.
