Soon! Let your incisions heal and take it slowly. No driving when on medications for pain. Enjoy your new sleeve. Welcome! ;)

I had to sell my bike to help pay for my sleeve but my boyfriend has a bike so I still ride. I can't wait to get another bike, probably next summer because the one I want is way too expensive.

I almost cried when I sold mine but the surgery was worth it. I plan on getting a new Harley Street Glide next summer. We are going to Sturgis this year and I will just have to ride on the back of my boyfriends bike. It won't kill me, I just won't like it though.

WELL ME BEING A GUY, I DON'T HAVE THE OPTION OF RIDING ON BACK, SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY BABY. (LMBO) I DO PLAN ON GETTING ME ANOTHER CRUISER NEXT SUMMER, HOPEFULLY A YAMAHA BAGGER, AND MAKE IT TO STURGIS IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS.

Oh c'mon now Smitty - where's your sense of adventure? Of COURSE you can always ride bit** lol I would never dream of selling my bike, no way in hades. Took me 2 months to save for the surgery but as of last week I got it all paid for plus the airfare. June 27th I fly out of Sky Harbor and the 28th I have my surgery first one in the early AM (first one in before the day group even comes in from San Diego since I am going into Tijuana the nite of the 27th and then fly back to Sky Harbor on the 30th.

As far as the Yamaha goes - I LOVE mine - now that I have the surgery paid for I am going to start with the "bagger" accessories. Custom made tour pack (egg shaped not the huge thing) and then a Quadzilla fairing and of course VH pipes or Cobra. Since one of my clients (and good friends) is a bike repair shiop and he does custom builds I am going to leave it with him for a month to get it all ready for the riding season in the fall. Too hot here to ride now anyway other than in the evening, I am hoping I can tolerate the heat a little better once I lose the weight.

I read on a few other places that people rode within a few weeks - I won't but just cause it's hot and when I do I will wait for the stitches to come out anyway.

Smitty I will ride your bike for you until you can ride ;)
