Couldn't wait

    O.K. so I'm guilty but I just couldn't wait.  Gypsy and I went for a great ride today.  Doctor didn't say I could but he didn't say I couldn't either.  I've been a commercial roofer for most of my life and I've had a lot of different back aches.  Riding "always", "always", made me feel better and today was no exception.  My damn foot is still numb but  I'm feeling great!!!!!!! The new ape hangers were just perfect as I knew they would be.  So, I'm back in the saddle again.

    Peace

     16" apes with 4" risers.  I've been trying to upload some pics but there seems to be a problem.

    I'm not so sure that's going to happen.  Gypsy also has some back issues which she endured and never told me about.  When we rode to the Florida Keys a couple years back she was in pain but didn't tell me because she knew I wouldn't have gone.  Hell, last year we went to Yellow Stone and she never let on. Having just found out really upset me and I just don't understand how she could've enjoyed that ride and be in so much pain.  So now she's going to get it taken care of.  Of course she insists that she can ride on a few short trips and promises to get her back fixed.  She has appointments at the end of the month and we'll see what the doctor says.

    Naturally I'm pretty upset because we could've taken care of this thing earlier.  But damn she's one tough lady (upset that she told me) and now I have to put my foot down; loving her all the while of course.

    Peace

    One tough women there (meant in a good way) Sending healing vibes that her back will be like new fast and you two can go explore the great wide open again soon. Only this time without Gypsy in pain.
