Sorry to hear it. Maybe it is time to get into convertibles?
Just now seeing this thread. Sorry to hear Bob. When people ask me if I have seen this or that movie / show, or read this or that book, I always answer that I don’t have time for such things. There may be a time when reading and watching is all I can do so I will have a lot to choose from. Maybe it is nearing the time to write your memoir. If you are looking at smaller bikes how about the MP3 by Paggio. Two up front. Still leans, but can lock upright as you come to a stop.
Never hurts to get a second (or even third) opinion. Lots of Dr.s out there. And a trike doesn't require any lifting that I can think of. Your shoulders might get a work-out steering the thing. You could wear a big leather kidney belt (and look bad-ass ) for extra back and abdominal support. Where there's a will, there's a way.
Bob, very sorry to hear about your medical issues. Hope to make it down to your meet and greet in a few weeks. I have a good friend that has made the switch from motorcycle to MP3 and is really enjoying it. With the locking feature on the front end, he doesn't have to do any lifting or tugging. Just remember you have a lot of options. Praying for you brother. JohnB
Best wishes.There is life after bikes, but it's not much fun.
Surgeon said no HEAVY BIKES as the leaning or tilting up etc can cause me more problems. Maybe Il try my Honda Cb 750 chopper and see how I can handle that….or a convertible…or MP3 or small scooter. Time to think now.
Il make it fun!
As a fellow cancer survivor, may I suggest a V7?They weigh about 3/4 of a Stelvio.
Don't follow nor do I read WG much these days.So sorry to hear about your medical condition and wish you the very best!At one time I expressed interest in your Stelvio but at this time I'm starting to thin out my Guzzi fleet and with the hopes of being down to 1-2 bikes (1200rt BMW and either 98 EV or 86 Lemans will stay) I'm not much into camping out, rallies or gatherings but for the most part do some solo riding.I applaud your efforts in organizing these get together and have been a part of a few. Not many Guzzi's in the area where I live..mostly HD riders of which most I have little in common with.So in due time I will leave this forum and move on to whatever lies ahead for me.Be well Bob!
Bob,You're dealing with a decision that all riders must eventually face. That is simply "Know when to fold 'em." & only you can make that choice based on the best advice given. Acceptance is the key. My heartfelt sympathies accompany this message.Bill H in WV
