I test rode one in South Dakota only because I was waiting on parts. Only went about a mile and realized it was not for me. Didn't feel at all like a bike.

I feel the same way. It's just not a bike.

Drain tube in my neck right now. Coming out tomorrow. Should be riding come hell or high water tomorrow.

After my diagnosis, decided to get the bikes back on the road ASAP. I know that day may be coming for me as well.

Lots of guy cage to the meets. Lots of people could always use a chase vehicle on runs, if you can drive. Not riding
doesn't mean you have to split. At least, I hope it doesn't.

A Brother from another Mother simply couldn't ride his Ultra anymore due to back problems. He is riding a trike. Hey, if you can't do 2 wheels, 3 will keep you riding.......

And if 3 wheels doesn't work then bring 4 (plus a load of firewood, a canopy, something to make coffee with, and a cooler of ice). You'll be the star of the show. Just show up. Don't stay home and post on forums on how it used to be. Make it good for this time and place now. You have so much to contribute to everybody that is lucky enough to meet you. Every day is a gift. Party hard.
