DJango I was hoping to meet up with you and ride part of the BRP with you. DOn't know if that is going to happen.
Today I was going to ride to the ST rally in SE Ohio to meet up with some friends from my ST riding days. Wasn't feeling well but got dressed anyway and took off. I was riding the FJR and using the cruise control as much as I could to help the hand. About 40 miles into the 133 mile trip it started raining. The sky was dark gray ahead of me as far as I could see, blue behind. Had I been feeling better, feeling normal, I would have thrown on rain gear and pushed on. But today I pulled a U turn and headed home. About 15 miles into the return trip I took an exit and took the back way home. It was a lot more fun, but made me use the throttle and brakes more. Got home, crawled off the bike, drank a cup of hot tea and got in bed for a couple hours. Only rode 81 miles. Hand has been real sore all evening. This is not a good sign, not a good sign at all. Supposed to start a new med for the colitis Monday. Maybe that will help the gut, but wont do anything for the hand.
Day by day.
