Since I like to ride I realize these days as I look ahead to possibly turning 60 in a couple weeks, I have taken to doing a morning assessment of what parts still work and which are just going south or have been removed.
I just start from the top and go down.
1. "Do I have a headache this morning?"
If "yes" then:
"Is it a tension headache or a migraine headache?"
If it is a tension headache (too much time on this forum) I slam my customary three shots of espresso, roasted in the Pacific Northwest according to the bag of beans I bought yesterday. (How you like that alliteration?)
If a migraine, I resign myself to at least 36 hours of being utterly out of commission. No medications help.
2. Do my arms work right? Check the rotator cuffs, elbows and fingers. Can I move them without reaching for a bottle of Norco? If yes, go to the next question. If no, move 'em around a while and hope the kinks work out.
3. How is my back? Do those old dirt bike fractures bother me today? If no, go to step 4. If yes, go back to bed.
4. Does the plumbing work? If yes, drink some coffee. [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1755&pid=156962#pid156962]If no, drink something stronger.
5. Can I stand unassisted? If yes, try to walk.
6. Can I walk? [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9879&pid=156974#pid156974]If yes, try to ride.
