Resist the temptaion.
« on: February 22, 2016, 09:03:40 PM »
Six weeks ago today I had a fusion at C4-C5 and a disc replacement at C3-C4. I was done with my neck brace on Friday 02/12 and was given the green light to drive. I am not ready to ride yet and I won't take that chance but these warm days have me wanting. To make matters worse I just got my Corbin seat back from getting it re-done. I bought the seat in '97 and put 50k miles on it while I had my '95 Cali. I then transferred the seat to my '01 EV when I got that and put another 100k on the seat. Now it's all new again and is tempting me just like the weather. I know better than to take the risk and will just have to wait it out for a couple weeks yet.

Be strong. In the long run you will be very glad that you did. Get in virtual saddle time here on the Wild Goose! I hope that your recovery goes well.

Dave, Take it slow and let everything heal up. One little screw up could set you back a long ways.

What the wise old guy says. I did too early a ride after an L5 and took a bad shot that I don't think I've ever recovered from. Up high where yours is would be devastating. My biggest fear is neck surgery as it becomes more like a pile of rocks and gravel.
