Think This Will Work?

So I'm at my doctor for my annual physical last week. Doc says that because of the herniated disks in my neck, that I shouldn't do any boating. Too much chance of reinjuring my nec,.

Then he asks me if I am still riding my bike. I tell him "of course." Then the doc asks what I ride. Sportster I reply. His response, get a Softtail or a Touring model. Much easier on the neck.

Now my question is, if my doctor recommends a different bike to avoid aggravating an injury, should I file to have either my insurance or possibly the government pay for the upgrade from a Sporty to a larger scoot. If folks can get motorized wheelchairs, jacuzzis, and other goodies to help alleviate pain and suffering, why can;t I get a Heritage or Road King to make my riding more comfortable.

Food for thought.

BTW -- my doctor used to ride an Indian.

Man everyone got their hand out. Rather see you get it than the UAW or the Financial companies though. Go for it, keep me posted.

A motorcycle is a toy. Just drive your cage if your bike is to harsh for your sensitive geezer bones, J/K.

Yea from the AMERICAN government. I believe it though. If GM and Chrysler can get government support after all the stupid **** they did, why can't honest hard working people get a piece?
