My old friend John has an unerring ability to send me links of motorcycles for sale that I end up buying.

So he is on rehab, and sends me a link to a 74 eldorado. Can’t hurt to look thinks I.
Damn. It’s sweet. Should arrive in several weeks. Meanwhile, JJ, get well soon my friend. See you in a Datil for sure, probably Cali too. Get well soon.

That Mustang is a looker. That has to be one of the lowest production colors. Have you had a “Marti” report run on it?

No...but one of these days about the MARTI report. The stock color is called "Clearwater Aqua."

It was purchased new in Dayton, OH by my wife's grandmother in July of 1967...My wife rode around in the front seat as a 10-year old...

They made 3,595 of this "Sports Sprint" model in 1967. They made 325,000 Mustangs (all models total) in 1967, and reportedly, there are about 1/3 are still on the road today!

How long before you can do chin ups?
It has been 2 years since I have done any at all.

Good question...and I will ask this question next week...

IROM brace comes off in 3 weeks...and I hope I can RIDE in 2-3 months...but my guess is 6 months to a year minimum before chin-ups!!

Been following your progress, JJ and glad your recovery is going well.
I have seen many of these procedures,(Retired healthcare professional) and it's remarkable how good
the repair is post op....if one follows orders and hits PT with purpose, which I am sure you are doing.

I also think riding in an aqua vintage Mustang will help with recovery

. Nice ride!!

Heal well....
