Best wishes for successful surgery and speedy recovery. Attitude and doing what your doctor tells you to do will assure the quickest route back to riding.

I didn't have a bike at the time, got the bike a while after getting the full release.

But I was driving after only 3 weeks, and I wouldn't think riding would be a lot different. They told me the gentle vibration of walking was good for the healing, so maybe riding would have been good therapy? Ask your doc, but don't overdo it, bro.

My thought are with you man, take your meds, do the rehab if any and you'll be back in no time PM me if you ever need to talk. Been under the knife three times in my life.

had the c4 and c5 bone spurs removed and fused a few years ago. did what the doc's said and it was a piece of cake it will be for you too... just stay away from the bike and the time will fly by. just kidding. good luck to you
