Sorry to hear you crashed.  Glad you are recovering!  Glad the ribs are not too sore.  Get well!

Thanks all!

Still sore. Cutting back on the ibuprofen. Trying to stretch more. Should be back to the gym in a couple weeks.

Jumpt..How you been?

Pirate.. Surgery? Baby?!

Rat.. Investing in a kayak/SUP for now.  When wife finishes school..I'll climb back on to a superbike!


Eh...I've got some serious numbness issues in one of my hands. I did a little tip-over-the-handlebars action on the mountain bike last summer, and now by the time I get to the stop sign at the end of my street, I can't feel anything. Doesn't make for safe motorcycling...atleast for me. I don't feel safe.

Anyways, no baby yet, but I think we're planning on some baby news by the end of the year...and since I can't ride the monster right now anyways, she's probably going up for sale in the next couple months. It actually hurts me a little inside just typing that out  laughingdp

I've seriously considered just taking the battery out and draining the tank, to put it in storage for a couple years (until the future spawn is out of diapers), but I don't have a garage to put it in at the moment...and I'd feel bad letting it sit and slowly die in my storage shed  :'(

I'm hoping I can find a good new home for it, and in a few years when all ready again, I can pick up a new something. Probably a multistrada.

BTW--I've been looking into other things to fill my need for fun and speed (but safer to make the wife happy). SUP looked a little slow for me, but I've been eyeballing one of these pretty hard:




Either way, I'll probably be a non-motorcyclist member of the DMF for a couple years. Hope no one minds  laughingdp

That looks fun!  Not sure we have the wind for that around Lake Austin. Definitely not the space.

OK all..I'm thinking I will keep the bike.  I don't know if I can live without her.  One of the reason's I moved back to Austin..it's a fun place to cruise around and make a little noise.  Evil  I planned on giving the old 620 to my son too when he is old enough and wants to tinker around with a "classic".

So, I'm wondering though..I have been wanting clip-ons.  When they fix it..since it will not be the exact same as I have it now anyway (pic below)..you all think I can get some for it instead of the stock?  Are prices comparable..off the top of anyones head?  I haven't had time to research at all.  A new tank will probably be aluminum too for aftermarket.  I'm wondering if they'll paint it the way it was.  Also..the SIL megaphones may be hard to get hands on.  Think they would go with something comparable?  I have never dealt with a bike getting fixed by insurance.  Cars..yes!!  Many times, unfortunately.   Some of you may know this.  bang head  Anyway, it's being towed to the shop this week.
