Great story; I'm just glad is wasn't a long story

Needles to say I check the weather nowadays before heading out. bad weekend---jack
No doubt! I think you got me beat. Sounds like one cold, wet and miserable weekend...and yeah, I'm glad I kept that one short.


It's a great thing you are doing raising those boys. It will all come back good for you in the long run...

Thanx for all the kind words guys. I reckon it does get a little rough sometimes, but I just see it as doing what I have to do. My boys aren't going to raise themselves. I really don't mind, though.The only time it seems like a burden these days is when I get the itch to go for a ride. I can't just pick up and take off whenever I want. But I figure they won't be little forever. My time will come.

26 months ago took my the custom painted heritage out to ride to the dentist to sort out a tooth ache, didn't make, got wiped out by the usual car driver who didn't see me, fractured a few bits and pieces but the worst was the right thumb, have had six ops to try and build it back together again with very limited success, as a guy who has build some lovely custom bikes its been a very frustrating period, but have bobbed a 1990 fxsts ( georgeous ) in the rehab period, and 3 months ago bought myself a denim street bob, can do around trip of about 20 mile at present but hope to further as the strength builds up some more, think this is bad luck? pics available of springer bob on request.

Looks like I didn't have to wait long to look back on this post and laugh. It's was a beautiful sunny day today, mid 70's. I actually got to ride withoutt a jacket for once even. There were so many bikes out today, it was awesome. Looks like the riding season is just about here. Here's to SPRING!
