Swede is Down

[Gliderjohn]

He goes into hiding and can't be reached by email , cell phone , or smoke signals . Some of us think he comes from another dimension and only appears sporadically in this one , or maybe he is only an illusion , a manifestation of mass hypnosis . He does appear in Cedar Vale every year wearing that funny foam cowboy hat and asking where the nearest aroma therapist is , who knows where he truly exists the other 360 days of the year .

I know where he was one other day this year when he dropped in on our new home in NM a few weeks back. He appeared to ride in but maybe he just appeared around the curve before our driveway.

truthfully, he flies away with his beanie copter.

Congratulations on the 150k.

Sorry about the spill. Heal up well.

Swede, you're a hero and hope to meet you sometime.  Heal well.

Ok, the Swede is back.     All ankle bones grown back in a way to make the orthopedic surgeon smile.  I’m walking, albeit slowly, and without a cane most of the time.  I even rode the slightly wrecked V7 around the block.  Yeah, the ankle hurts a lot, and it hurts most of the time, and did I mention it hurts a lot—but hey, I’m back on my feet. 

I was feeling so salty about my recovery that I ventured down to a motorcycle dealer today . . . but I’ll make that a separate thread. 

I very much appreciate all the well-wishers on this forum—thanks for the kind thoughts while I was out of commission.  This is a great community and I value the motorcycling fellowship you all provide.

Glad to hear it, Swede. You’re an inspiration. Many, many more miles and smiles to you!

Glad to see you are up and (slowly) stirring around. 

[Gliderjohn]

Good to hear your progress. Keep it up.

Good to know, if I were you I'd go out and buy a new motorcycle.
