Snag in winter mods completion.
I went to chit on 2/22 on my way to work. I turned around and went to the hospital instead as I started feeling really bad. BAM, triple bypass at the age of 55! Doc said had I waited another hour I would not have made it. So, I will be talking to my INDY to complete my bike as he can get to it, even the stuff I was going to try to do. I don't know when I will be ready to ride but I want it done and ready to go when I am done and ready to go. The moral to this story? Don't be "manly" and ignore the warnings and signs your body is giving you. I had "signs" for 2 weeks prior to that day but it was never that bad so I "walked" them off and ignored them. It nearly cost me my life. Pictures of my bike with the winter mods will be delayed but I will post them once it is completed. I never thought I would say this but I have more important things to worry about right now.

Tony,
Thrilled you're on the mend.
The bike will always be there. Chrome has been on this Earth for 4 billion years and they'll always be some to put on your bike. Presuming your bike doesn't already have all of it, of course
.
The next few months will be an adjustment for you. It will include dietary changes, exercise, getting weight under control, if necessary, and controlling cholesterol and blood pressure, if not already doing so.
Oh... most important... FOLLOW DOCTOR'S ORDERS !!! That's an order.

Glad you caught it in time, I lost my dad last year at 56 to an aortic aneurysm bursting. He had driven himself to the hospital about a month earlier while having a heart attack due to a blocked artery that delayed his surgery to repair the aneurysms by a month, a month to long.
Heart issues are not something to **** with.
