Ferret's slowing down.

well did 179 miles on the FJR today meeting a buddy for lunch. Rode 20 of those miles thru a thunderstorm with lightning and high winds. Fun fun fun lol.

Knees did great (injections did wonders), arthritic hand did pretty good, guts are still an issue but I survived lol.

Didn't think I was going to get in 1,000 miles this month but went over that today (normally would have been about 2500 miles in June). Things are certainly looking up for my riding.

Yes it is great news Ferret, we will ride to, at least, we are 80 years old! Right Rocky?

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

That is really good to read Mickey.

 

[LongRanger_imp]

Good job, Ferret. Despite the pain, I'm sure it felt great!

 

[Cormanus]

Good news, Ferret.

 

[KiowaEagle_imp]

Glad you're back in the saddle Ferret. Even with you're limitations you are logging more miles than most motorcycle owners.

 

[Haystack_imp]

You'll be in my thoughts as I ride the CB, so your riding days are not over yet!

Keep riding!

Well done, Ferret. That shows guts.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Well done, Ferret. That shows guts.

I don't want to see his guts.

 

[the Ferret]

:rofl: the ortho doc doesn't even want to see my guts

 

[DAC]

Good to see your logging more miles and enjoying it!

 

[Cormanus]

Ferret, I'm sure I speak for us all when I say we're all like the orthopod: willing to acknowledge that you have guts without needing to see them.

:rofl:

Glad to see you’re on the mend Ferret. BTW, your record/stats keeping is impressive. Do you do it on the computer or old-school style in a notebook like I’m picturing? :dodgy:

 

[the Ferret]

Thanks Chip

Blockhead I use a personal calendar.. note every day weather, which bike, how many miles, how many days of month/year. I hate computers lol

I took a stock shield from the FJR and cut 3" off the top for a summer shield. Been 9 or 10 days in a row now around 90 degrees with 95 percent humidity. Hot & sticky. Mounted it up and took 106 mile country curvy roads ride with it today and I couldn't be happier. beautiful clean air. So comfortable.

Have appt with gastro doc in the morning. Hope he can come up with something cause I'm doing pretty good right now with knees and hand. Ridden 19 days in a row. woohoo.

No doubt the comfort is much welcomed.

Is there any risk now that comfort is now being experienced that "daily damage" is still being done through normal activities?
