Default Well its time to say goodbye.. its been fun.
After a long talk with the doctor and then ignoring that conversation for a few months... its finally sunk it. My Back just can't take it. I've been a member in the Sporty, Dyna and Touring sub forums, for all the advice and information this forum has provided thank you.

But don't feel too bad for me, I decided if I can't ride.... well this is whats in my drive way now.

We all may have to decide when it's time for us to stop riding, for whatever reason, at some point. I did in '81 and never thought I'd be back on a bike.

You need to take care of yourself and if riding is the cause of it, it's best to get away from it. Good Luck to you.

When one door closes, another one opens- at some point, we're all going to have to hang up our helmets and move on to the next chapter of our lives.

Best of luck to you and take care of yourself out there- and even in a truck, keep the rubber parts on the road and you'll be fine
