    Default Getting Close To Being Able To Ride Again.

    Well, in another week I should be getting out of the boot for my broken/dislocated left ankle and, if all goes well, I may be able to start some easy riding a week or two after that. It's been almost nine months and two major surgeries (and a LOT of titanium hardware) since it happened and I'm REALLY looking forward to riding again, even if it's just short ones around the neighborhood at first.

    Here's hoping!

    A short ride beats no ride. Back in the saddle again is a good thing.

    Have you done any "test fittings" yet?
    Not actually starting the bike: just making sure that nobody has fooled with how you left it!

    I'm happy you're going to be back in the wind soon.

    Have you you considered upgrading your Spyder to celebrate?
