Hmm, leathers, that never bodes well.

In front of the "Broken down Duc"?? Hey that thing looks sorta complete....
(http://paularickert.net/albums/userpics/jamie-ride-03.JPG)
:o :o :o
Yup, the Duc and I are both working again. [thumbsup]
SomeGirl and I went for a quick little ride from Pescadero, down to 1, up to 84, and back to Pescardero (man, living in the twisties has it's good points [laugh]). Just long enough to be amazing therapy for my constant stir craziness (and for me to hound the guy on the Bandit [evil], I'll learn, someday).
Thank you SomeGirl!
The 620 feels just amazing, huge thanks to Darkstar and MrIncredible for finishing putting it back together for me while I was down. Darkstar, I still owe you a reaaallllyyy nice dinner. Duck-stew, you really did a nice job on the heads, bike is back to being it's rev-happy, none-blue smoke blowing self!
Overall, a huge thank you to everyone on the board who've helped me out during this spell. From waiting with me for the helicopter (even if there were threats to pee on me :-p), to the hospital visits, from gifts of crutches, to caretaking and places to stay and everything else I've forgotten because of all the pain killers. [laugh]
Once again, the DMF has proven to be one of the most amazing online groups I've ever had contact with, thank you all!
Glad you're back!
Good to see you making some good progress! [drink]
I know I have told you this before... you are crazy! Where did you strap the cane to the bike?
Still working on the "Cane to bike" issue. Figured that since this was just a quick loop, i.e. I never got off the bike, the cane got left in the garage where I could reach it while parking. [laugh]
Thinking about ordering a folding cane for whenever the rain stops and I start commuting. [thumbsup] [popcorn]
Woohoo! ;D [thumbsup]

Jeez man, "House (http://www.fox.com/house/)" has it figured out, why not you?
Oh, and you definitely need a handicapped sticker for the Ducati. I'd pay to see onlookers faces for that!
Glad you're feeling better!
The hounds of Spring are on Winter's traces but let it pass.

I don't know what that means either. Glad you're get back in shape [thumbsup]

I love that show. ;D
Been looking for a good picture of how he does the cane attachment thing, no dice so far. Figure it'll just be easier to get a folding cane. [cheeky]
And if I could get a handicap sticker for the bike, I'd be all over it! "Unfortunately", I'm only handicaped till May in the eyes of the state, so no sticker for me. Unless someone knows a way. ;)

I have run into a bike with handicapped stickers before.
Oh and Jamie's cane is CF btw.
Nice ride, good to see you back! [thumbsup]
Good to see you back in the saddle.
I had a dream last night that you went for a Motorcycle ride [thumbsup]
Nice to know that you're back [moto]'ing again. [thumbsup]
[thumbsup]

Dontcha worry, I trust MrI's work more when he's drunk. It's tradition at this point. If he can accurately describe what he just did, I start to worry. [laugh]
