New Moto Guzzi Door Mats Available Now
Well damn Curt. Sorry to hear this. Good friend just had ankle surgery. He's doing well but warns that one needs to do what the doctor says. Look at the bright side. You'll have plenty of time to make friends with the cats.
Get well soon Curt. If I was in your area, I'd ride your bikes to keep them healthy, otherwise I'll offer best wishes.
Bummer dude, You'll have to watch my FB posts for T7 escapades, I wouldn't want to bore anyone here w/ Non Guzzi content Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Good luck on the ankle! Got mine done at time of the break. All bits were taken out, now it looks square. Broke mine going around a corner w/floorboard up. Foot was on the edge, toe of boot caught ground & snap. I looked down & saw my foot facing backwards, completely loose. After the cast was off the swelling wouldn't go down so another surgery to take out the screws that were supposed to be left in. My body doesn't like metal.Here I thought you were going to ask us to come ride your bikes for you.
Good luck with the reconstruction!Your ankle is complex and delicate - hope you have a good orthopedist!But the best surgery will be wasted if you don't do your job with the rehabilitation. So get a good physio, too!Oh - nice garage!
Best of luck with your ankle surgery! Nice line of machines in your garage, I have always liked the Suzuki keeps and that pretty vintage Yamaha along the wall looks very nice!
That offer is open to any of my Guzzi family while I am down. Becuase of a medical condition I was on high dose Predisone 80 mg for many years, and it damn near killed me. I blew up to 390 lbs, have had both achilles worked on, replaced both knees, have terrible neropathy in my feet and ankles, and now this. Since the change I have lost 120 lbs, worked myass off with diet, gym, yoga and have gotten much stronger. The affter effects of all of that still linger though. I'm not looking for sympathy and not bitchin' a lot of folks have it much worse than me. Just glad I have been able to pretty much recover, my issues are in remission and hope they stay there, and we'l just keep smiling and pressing on. Thanks all for the kind words of support!!
I watch all you post on FB, in fact my plan for spring with to try and get out that way, and see you, Mike and Curtis. Maybe a fall trip hopefully.
Wow, I'm just happy to walk w/all my broken bones. My R wrist been broke 3 times, can't wipe my a--!! Have the bottom 3 back disc's degenerated(flat) & colarbone still loose for 20yrs. I do have a wheelchair & walkers and am all set for what is to come someday. For now I'm still scooting around on garage floors working on bikes. I don't take anything for pain cause then I know when it's fixed. I still have good knee's, one acts up w/weather but doable. They been bent backwards twice against cars, exiting in a MC wreck.Getting Old Ain't for you know!
You do realize a Ural sidecar rig removes all the weight bearing issues from the equation?
Yep, and now I am considering if I should have sold the Convert
Raceway makes a tank shifter for the Ural. Left foot free to wander.....
You need another bike. Something in an automatic so you don't have to use your left foot. Something with a chair to keep you upright.It's funny but I use the sidecar for most of my local chores. I can fit 10 bags of groceries or 4 cases of Growlers easily.
I hear you're a regular Travis Pastrami.
