I just want to post a little info for anyone who may be as naïve as I was.
Just over a year ago I bought a new 2104 from a dealer at a good price. I didn't know it at the time but I was developing a condition called Shingles. As a consequence I haven't been able to ride my CB in over a year.
If you've ever had chicken pox it leaves behind a virus that can and will lie dormant for decades. I developed it over a year ago and am still dealing with it. Shingles has no cure and no treatment other than pain killers. The condition affects balance which is why I can't ride the CB right now. It is in covered storage until such time as the Shingles
dissipates and I can finally enjoy riding again.
Wish I know then what I know now. If you have had chicken pox in the past there is now a vaccination you can get which will prevent Shingles from manifesting. So if you've had chicken pox... get the vaccination. Believe me you don't want to live with the constant agony
of this virus. I am 61 and nobody knows how long I'll have to live with
this.
Just thought I'd let you know. NOBODY should have to live with this.
I'll see you on the road when I can![/size]
