Joking aside, there may be a day...just maybe...when darkness covers the land and all will be filled with fear. When our bikes (along with us NGW Apostles) age out of existence. When eBay says "0 results for GL1100." When Honda Goldwing service techs universally fade into retirement. And when the rumble of our Naked Goldwings become relics of a century past, found only in museum pieces and July 4th parades. Thanks to sites like ours, I'm betting against this day. But if this day comes, despite our valiant efforts to hold it back, like the crashing seas, well...that grim day will be filled with anguish.

But as Aragorn said, today is not that day. No indeed. Today, We Ride.
I did hit 80, and I feel it. I'm going to spend a few days riding with Gord up in Canada this week which help me figure out my bike days left. They may be numbered ....... or maybe not crossy.gif crossy.gif

Procedure today was great. Easily past 90 degrees and it seems like every time I exercise it goes further. Have a 8 PT sessions over the next 2 weeks. Gonna work hard. Really optimistic about the recovery now.
