Since I last posted, My computer crashed.
My gut crashed.
My morale crashed.
My finances crashed.
BUT, I did not crash the Dred Hun.
I developed a strangulated gut when mesh from a previous umbilical hernia operation came loose, wound around, and cut off blood supply. Emergency surgery with the removal of 1&1/2 feet of gut was performed.
So I have been recuperating.
I have been riding a lot. Will put another bunch of miles on the bike today. I bought it with 40,000 miles and now have 66,000 miles. I had Buttlax 45s on it back then, and am now on the second set of Metzeler Lazertecs. This tire suits me better.
In an hour or so I will be armoring up to ride to Madrid, NM to meet up with family for lunch. That's about 150 miles away from my Mt. Taylor hermitage.
I was on the net looking for info on the 1100s when I ran across the site and remembered that I had just started posting here when I had my surgery. So, I'm back.

Wow reminds of that old country song: "if not for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!". Glad you are back to riding, hope things continue on a better track.

If the ol' bod is up to it, riding is great therapy for just about any of the wicked curve balls life can throw at you. :2thumbup:
Best wishes for a continued good recovery.

I busted my right Achilles this last fall. Life gives us hints as to how we should cherish every pleasant moment huh?
Here is to a speedy recovery son.
Cheers

Welcome back! Glad you're on the road to recovery.

Whoa! Glad to hear you're back up and at it, LA. I had my guts re-deranged in a hang glider wreck years ago, so I know where you've been with all that - it ain't fun.
Anyhey, if you get up to Taos anytime drop me a PM beforehand. I should be around throughout April, with a possible Cally trip in May.

Thanks for the wishes> If I get up near Taos, I will let you know beforehand, TBrick.
And similarly with QDude. There's a woman in Seattle who claims she wants to see me again. I am aficionado of burgers, hot dogs, fish, and tacos. Maybe there's a lunch in the future.
One thing about Brick riders that I've noticed over the years--
Distance is not a factor that fazes. Only the price of petrol matters.

Sure beats payin' for gas with truck and camping trailer. I will doing some serious mega-mile Brickage this summer. Traveling 2,000mi for ren-fest work - have bagpipes will travel.
