I think this will be my last "healing" update.   Ortho Docs released me last Wednesday from all restrictions.  Injured leg is at 74% of non-injured leg and the Doc was very pleased - so much so that he didn't even order PT for my leg.  The next day I took my wife's Honda 750 for a spin around the neighborhood just to test myself.  No problems at all - hand was strong on the clutch and leg was able to support bike.  SO......Friday morning I fired my new SEUC and rode it down to the Cartersville HD dealership.  Went right back through the intersection where I crashed and didn't give it a second thought.  Visited the HD shop for a while until it started snowing pretty good, then fired that mother up and headed home.  First time I had ever ridden in snow and it was spectacular!  After church Sunday one of my buds called and we went on about a 75 mile cruise - again no issues with strength or navigation.

Crashed Nov. 4, 2009, and rode again on Feb. 11, 2010, exactly 98 days later.  If that ain't a miracle I don't know what is.  Thank You Jesus, family, and friends for bringing me back!

Awesome news Grinner - Inspirational!!!

[Screamin]

Outstanding Grinner. Way to go.

Great ending to a bad start.  As a rider and physician I see it from both ends of the spectrum.  Physicians can only do so much but it is the human spirit that then takes over.  Always be the one who looks a half glass of water as half full rather than half empty.  Have fun.

Great end to a bad story, congrates on the healing and the new ride!!!!

We are all very glad you are back and that you have the ability to continue to ride.  It could have come out worse as you well know. I am hoping you take it upon yourself to continue work theweak parts with the goal of getting as close as you can to 100%

Also I am hoping periodically you'll post up what's happening to the person who hit you. I personally would like to see them accept responsibility for what they did. 

Good Luck and please stay off of the snow and black ice... You don't need to flirt with fate and start rehab all over again.

Regards

Jerry
