You are an inspiration. Respect.
I kinda know what ya mean...On top of the arm thing I broke my hips & had six external pins for over three months, so I didn't start walking again for nearly four. Plus the compound femur fracture, the busted shoulder (four inch plate, seven screws) & let us never forget the hernia!
The fact is, folks like us (& BP. I didn't forget ya!) will NEVER stay down. The day we curl up & admit defeat is the day we die! WE ROCK!

I'm just an old scooter bitch. I grew up old school...None of this **** about somebody owing me something. When I was coming up, if ya caught a black eye or a fat lip, Daddy was liable to chuckle until ya quit cryin'...THEN he was proud.
You have my respect also. My first was in 2000 when I got clipped by a dually...Twisted my leg backwards. Double compound fracture. Got a knee to ankle Ti-rod for that one. Was riding in roughly nine weeks. That was my old Triumph...Kick start only. Hang on...I think I have a pic...
Yep...Roughly 4 days before I got hit...(And wasn't my arm lovely?)

I can;t believe I read this whole thing, Ok, maybe I'm a 'Rub', don't care what other people think.....been riding motorcycles off and on for 47 years and yes when its raining I'll drive my car, or if its 37 degrees I leave my bike in the garage, so what, if some people wants to say that I'm not a "real biker" because of this then let them.....ok, enough of this, its 72 degrees outside and I'm going riding.............
Oh and by the way, Gypsylady I still say that is one good looking bike, everybody have a safe weekend.

Well here are my thoughts on what is a "rub"
There are only two ways to have the tallest building in town.
1 you can work your butt off building it, or
2 you can tear everyone elses down.
the term rub is just a sledge hammer.
