Barrycuda Posted August 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2014 Ok gang, are we willing to try it again? The last attempt had a lot of issues with me moving, brake Pad with family concerns but also the weather was hazardous with the rain and storms. Prior to that we had a few successful ones, I think 3 in a row. Is anyone/everyone willing to try something either in mid to late September or early October? biketoberfest does not count. IDK about you guys, But I really enjoy seeing you guys and chatting and kicking back. Brian, GEZ, Brake Pad and Karen, Steve and Marilyn, Tuff Tom, Crazy gaucho, and anyone else that wishes to attend. I'd like to hear from Y'all and see if we can get another one of these up and running. Thoughts??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brd7666 Posted August 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2014 I will have to see how things go. My back surgery is scheduled for 09/13/2014. I don't know what to expect or how long the recovery time will be. I know that I would love to go. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted August 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 27, 2014 Karen was going to start one soon, she loves Lightseys and wanted to have another one there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted August 27, 2014 Karen was going to start one soon, she loves Lightseys and wanted to have another one there then I shall step aside to allow Karen to organize it. Ladies are better at organizing these types of things. I will be of help if need be. One suggestion is to perhaps try someplace new. Someplace not only semi central perhaps, but just new in general.

djh3 Posted August 28, 2014 Share #7 Posted August 28, 2014 Barry and everwho (thats a word I picked up from my boss in NC) Maybe middle part of Sept. Brian I know that prob wont work for you. But maybe the weather will cool of a bit and the rain thing will be done with afternoon constant rains. Brian good luck with the back surgery. I can tell you from experience the doc aint going to let you ride for at least 4-6 weeks. I am fighting a back issue now myself and already had surgery on it in 09.

I don't know what to expect or how long the recovery time will be. I know that I would love to go. Time will tell. Brian, I speak for all of us here that we certainly wish you a speedy recovery and safe procedure. Healing properly and physical therapy is essential. After that, when you're cleared to ride, we can make it a point to ride together to a few places. It's long overdue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted August 28, 2014 Would like that. What's up with the Wednesday night thing at Steak and lube? Where? Donvito, Every Wednesday night at Quaker steak and lube( restaurant, bar) in Clearwater they have bike night. It's usually pretty packed with all sorts of bikes. Food is decent and have bands play and some vendors. I go every now and then. With or without anyone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My operation is set for 09/13/2014. Time will tell. I certainly hope we can go riding again. As you know, my bike is up for sale. Amy is telling me to keep it, but someone is coming to look at it tomorrow. We will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to go in and cut off the bulging part of the disk. They have to drill a hole in the bone so they can get to the bulge. Losing weight is always a good thing. I have lost 59 pounds since last December. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donvito Posted August 30, 2014 Share #21 Posted August 30, 2014 I feel for you. I had an L5 herniated disc. The pain was unbelievable. Did it playing touch football with my nephews and stretching for a pass. Found out I'm too old for that. Luckily, rest and therapy did the trick. Wishing you luck with yours.

gez Posted August 30, 2014 Share #22 Posted August 30, 2014 I had an L5-S1 procedure done thirty years ago. Haven't had any trouble since. Follow your doctors orders and you'll be back on the bike in no time. Heal quickly my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycuda Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted August 30, 2014 Brian, out of curiosity....WHY are you selling the bike? Don't say because you don't ride, because after all this you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I have it up for sale is because I don't want the payment right now. Amy is even telling me to keep it. We will see. If someone offers to buy it in the next two weeks, I will sell it. After that, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brake Pad Posted August 31, 2014 Share #25 Posted August 31, 2014 My 07 payments were 237., My 12 wing is 350. Over 5 years, most I e ever paid for a bike:mo money: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
