Default Hey all

Just joined. I am from central Illinois. Have been down for awhile with a bad back. Had surgery last Tuesday and I am on the road to recovery.

Have been surfing the internet to help pass the time and to 'live through others' rides and adventures.

I ride a tricked out Night Train and a Ultra. The Train isn't going to make it much longer though...the Ultra is alot easier on the back.

I am a big believer in ABATE & MRF and that is about it for now.

Take care,
Baldman

I was spoiled by an Ultra before I was hurt and not sure if I can get away from that now.

Hopefully your back is much better now. I thought I was going to die.

Take care,
Baldman
