Does anyone ride a motorcycle? I have a 2013 Triumph America - about 600+ lbs. How soon can I get back to riding? I ride every day to and from work, and 6+ hours on weekends. Just wondering because my doctor gave a real vague answer.

Thanks!

I was driving the day after I left the hospital. However, I didn't touch the narcotic (or even the morphine in the hospital). If the roads are really twisty and windy, perhaps wait two weeks, but otherwise, in the absence of pain, the driving restriction is really overblown. If you are OK going back to work and those demands, in almost all cases you should be OK to ride.

I don't drive a motorcycle, but I could easily have ridden a bike three days out as well. FWIW.

I was sleeved August 26. Got home on the 29th. Went to work the 31st and rode my bike to work on 1st of September. My dr said if I felt up to doing something then go for it. Ease into it and go with flow. One thing I have learned is everything you used to do pre surgery is totally different post surgery. Something's easier some harder mite even be never do again. But it's ok cause your on the path to better health. Oh forgot to mention I ride 2012 road glide. Yall can prolly figure out the color.

I was back on my motorbikes yesterday at 2 weeks and 1 day - was totally fine, i waited until i had no pain from incisions or movements or stretches then i felt ready. and it was great - missed my time on it!

Thanks everyone!!! I appreciate your comments. Just got home from the hospital yesterday and doing pretty good so far.

Best to all!!!

Yeah long as ur not impaired by the pain meds and u can throw ur leg over without pain ur good.. I was on mine 6 days out of the sleeve!!

Thanks!!! My husband is going to work tomorrow and made me promise not to take the car or my bike out for a spin. ???? I promised. But I am dying to get back out there! Maybe next weekend!

Hugs!!
