Smile Back in the saddle !

Thought I'd never ride again after selling my '16 FB at the beginning of the year. Had some serious health issues and riding really had become a nightmare. But guess what: 6 months later life looks much better; still need to be careful but did a test ride last week of about 1,5 hour and things went well.
Today I picked my new to me '05 Heritage and I can only say: I'm over the moon; feel like I'm 18 again ! Start making plans already for the year...

Congrats on the health outlook and the great looking bike! Something that makes us smile this much has to be good for us.
