Hi guys haven't been around much lately, have been registered disabled and put on morphine patches for my spine pain, needless to say haven't been out on the bike much.
don't know if anyones posted this yet but here goes anyway,
98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road. The other 2% made it home Image

Cheers Marty,
my doc has referred me for facet joint injections so i'm hoping i will be able to ride a little after that, trouble is apparently its 2 jabs followed by 3-6 months rehab then another 2 jobs and so on and so forth, but they reckon i'll have some days when you wont keep me off the bike lol.

aye chins up fellas, as long as you can see the bike in the garage yer not far away from chucking yer leg over it.
been reg disabled meself 18 months now courtesy of smoking related lung damage & withered down to under 7 stone with associated depression. I'd have given up if I didn't have the bike as an incentive. managed a paltry 200 miles in the past 12 months but I reckon they're the best 200 miles I've ever ridden :cool2

Trouble is Alec no longer owns a Storm.

He has a TDM. So he needs a step ladder to get on & off the thing!

Still at least you qualify for a blue badge that means you can park on a traffic warden & not get a ticket right?

I know, I know, its not a laughing matter, I know some one with a spinal problem & they have had steroid injections in the spine, apparently it's bloody painful having them done but worth the pain as it vastly improves their general well being, did I mention the pain bit?

Thinking of ya Bro - it's been 5 years since I broke my back. I was very lucky in that the cage they put in place of the 3 vertebrae has worked well. I'm relatively pain free and flexible (providing I stay on the Co-Codamol and Naproxyn, and keep up with physio) Hope the Morphine works and you can get about. I find 'Stormy pretty gentle on my back - and can now manage 150 miles a day if I have to.
