Been gone

Post by sld454 »

Howdy Y'all, my name is Steve I have been a member here since 2009 my last post was 2016 in August I think. In October of that year I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and stage 3 renal failure. In 2017 I sold my 79' gl.. (if I had waited a bit I could have kept it.. Doh) Anyway things seem to be better I'm in the process of trying to get my bike back. Please.. No sympathy I don't do sympathy well this was just to let you know what has been up. Hopefully I'll be riding next spring/ summer.. Anyway ride safe
