Title: Breaking down, me, not my bike!
Post by: azguzzirep on January 21, 2021, 05:07:36 AM

Old(er) age is rough!!
In the past 6 months,  I've been to the hospital more than I'd like to have been.
I had surgery to remove a cist under my right eye, had surgery to remove a giant gall stone, two times for irregular heart beat,  and now I'm waiting to go in again for a knee replacement!!
Meanwhile,  my EV is happily residing in the garage,  away from the snow and salt.
I hope I make it to Mandello in Sept!!!

When times are bad, I try to say "whoopee, I've reached the turning point!"

Hope you're at the turning point now, and that we'll meet in Mandello!   :grin:

You'd better get that knee well before riding season!

It’s not the years, it’s the mileage!

Nice......
You lot are NOT making the "Golden Years" look very appealing.
To the OP,  look at the last 6months as an extended maintenance period in preparation for Mandello.
To think otherwise is depressing.
Cheers

Heal up.  Mandello is your goal.  Put the positive vibes into the brain to speed healing.   :thumb:
