Default Heart Surgery Done Finally Get to Ride!!!
On 12 Sept. Doc is going to release me to work and ride my new 02 Sporty!
I bought it a month before we found out I needed a heart valve replaced. So now after two open heart surgeries ( I am only 39) I will be able to ride my bike. While I was laid up I had the dealer install drag bars and new mirrors. Pics will follow soon.

When the Doc’s clear you, go out and have fun. I'm only 8 years behind you, hard to think of myself in the same situation. I admire your strength.

Ride on and ride safe!
