Default Need to Rant - Been 4-weeks since I last rode.

Parts went to the metal shop and cost me 2.5 weeks of prime riding time here in CA. Then I get hit with hernia surgery literally the day before my parts get back. It's now been 4 friggin' lame *** weeks since I rode, and the weather here has been beautiful. I'm going to lose it soon.

I'm supposed to wait another 2 weeks for this thing to heal all the way...I keep wanting to say "WTF" and ride, but I sure the Hell don't want to tear this thing open again.

I need an HA meeting or something. Drove the truck up into the mountains today and passed about 40-50 HDs at the Iron Door Saloon in Groveland. That didn't help.

Sorry to bore you guys with my rant, but I needed an outlet.
