I may not ride again for a few weeks and I am not on any medication. What's the big deal? There is nothing that I can't give up for a few weeks. Breathing being the one exception that I can think of. Water also, I guess.

I am pretty sure you meant exsanguination 
my 2 cents: your body may need time to adjust to the initial dose/combo of meds. After the "happy medium" is reached, then make your choice to follow the doctor's orders to NOT ride.
P.S. On the flip side, he will be held liable/negligent if he DID not advise you to NOT ride while on Coumadin (he most certainly does not want a malpractice lawsuit from you)

I told another doctor that I rode a motorcycle. His response was, "Good, we need more organ donors."

I had a heart attack at 43 yo . I am on plavix and aspirin dailey. I bleed like a stuck pig even with the slightest shaving knick.
SCREW IT LET'S RIDE! Is my motto. The Lord will take me when He say's it's my time.
Do what you feel is right.

I have asked for and received some great advice on motorcycle repair and maintenance from this forum.
I would assume more people here are qualified for that work vs medical opinions.
Do what you think is right. The fact that you ask, shows you believe the Doctor somewhat.
