Title: Been out sick for a spell
Post by: roadie on July 27, 2013, 09:10:35 AM
Hey fellas, been gone for about 7 months...had a pretty bad Crohn's flair, multiple surgeries, drugs...almost had to learn to walk again...anywho...back on my feet and back in the saddle (albeit lightly).  Son and I are riding south to Smith Mountain lake in the next few weeks...really looking forward to it...Connie's been waiting in the garage for me.  Had to get a new pair of chaps cuz nothing fits anymore...dropped 50 pounds.

Welcome back Roadie.  I am glad you survived and are doing better.  I just survived my 6th heart attack, and I have been grounded from flying since the 1st one and grounded from the bike since the 2nd.   Right now I am grounded from the car.   Keep up the fight!

Sorry to hear that Leo.
Dumb question.
Is there something they can do to prevent the heart attacks?

I suspect their being caused by NOT riding the bike...  ;D

Ride safe, Ted

Welcome back Will! Know the journey to the lake may feel like breaking out of prison, wishing you both a safe and enjoyable trip!
