Hey Y'all,
I just got back from San Diego H-D. The new " artificial pumpkin " is in. I had hoped to be there when they took it out of the truck and uncrated it, but it was already out of the box and on the shop floor when I showed up. Ok, here's where you get to rag at me. Got down there with my old Sony floppy disc digital and lo and behold no freakin disc. Do you think anyone at the dealership had a floppy ?Nyet. So the just out of the box pics went by the boards. They are doing set-up and I will pick it up tomorrow and I will have a disc with me to take some pics to post. I absolutely love the Mirage Orange Pearl Paint, and of course I've always liked Road Glides. I'll be like a 6 year old on Christmas Eve tonight, waiting for tomorrow to come.
I am going back to work on Monday ( 9/18) after what seems like a long two months. I cannot ever repay all of you the righteous words and prayers of support you have expressed. Thank you seems insufficient, but it is the best I have to offer.I would also like to say a special thank you to those who sent me PM's exhorting me to get after the Physical Thereapy 110 % . I cannot stress enough how pushing myself to the limit with PT has brought me back in what my PT folks say is incredibly quick time for a guy my age and size and with the extent of damage to my knee.
To those who sent cash to paypal for a get well basket for me. Thank you so much !!! Talk about perfect stangers. Also, I would like you to know, that after what happened to me with the heart attack, I asked for the money to be donated to the [highlight]American Heart Association[/highlight] in name of this web-site. I felt like that was the right thing to do. I hope all of you who donated think that was ok as well.
So now that I am near 100%, have a new bike, new clothes and new leathers, it's time to " get out on the highway, lookin for adventure." I am geeked as my best bro Beags says at the prospect of meeting everyone, hanging out, riding and whatever else may happen in Maggie Valley. To those attending and everyone else on the site, ride safe, ride smart and never ever trust the cagers.
Lastly, a special thanks to Brother Matt. You're as big a pain in the ass as I am bro and I don't know what I'd do without you ! L & R Forever
