eagleeye Posted February 28, 2016 #26 Posted February 28, 2016 Good news Jeff. It's still February, so by spring you should be riding for sure, and even using those machines.
slowrollwv Posted February 28, 2016 #27 Posted February 28, 2016 Jeff I am glad that your recovery is going so well. Keep it up. Do a few of these while your at it. :pushups:
uncledj Posted February 28, 2016 #28 Posted February 28, 2016 Ya can't keep a good man down. See ya at MD.
Chaharly Posted February 28, 2016 #29 Posted February 28, 2016 Glad to hear you're still progressing nicely. Would like to see you on the road as soon as safely possible. When I broke my wrist they told me not to ride, but hell I couldn't help myself. Just take it easy, I think you know your limits! (limitless)
campfire12 Posted February 28, 2016 #30 Posted February 28, 2016 Great job Jeff, keep up the good work and think warm thoughts, Rum balls, Rum Balls.
Flyinfool Posted March 11, 2016 Author #31 Posted March 11, 2016 Wen to the doc today for the final sign off on my foot. She said that she has never had a patient heal as fast as I did. She said everything looks good. It will still take some time to get everything stretched out and back up to speed. I am still scheduled for more PT till April 6. I am hoping that by then It will be strong enough to move the bike around and get it up on the center stand. If I can get on the center stand and get the bike out of the shed then I am strong enough to ride it to.
cowpuc Posted March 12, 2016 #33 Posted March 12, 2016 OPEN DA GATE N GET OUT THE WAY,,, FLYINFOOL COMING OUTA CHUTE NINE!!!!:clap2::dancefool::dancefool::dancefool: CONGRATS BROTHER!!:thumbsup:
Flyinfool Posted April 3, 2016 Author #34 Posted April 3, 2016 I DID IT!!!! I DID IT!!!! Today I went out to the shed and got the bike up on the center stand and onto the center stand dolly with no real difficulty. This has been my projected litmus test as to when I am ready to ride. My PT has agreed that if I can lift the beast onto the center stand that I am strong enough to ride it. I have my last PT visit on April 6 so I will see what she has to say. On her leg press machine I am able to lift 350 lbs (machine max) with either leg. Now I can start working on getting the bike ready to go........... LOOK OUT, Trouble is comin..................
cowpuc Posted April 3, 2016 #35 Posted April 3, 2016 OUTSTANDING FOOL!!!:dancefool::dancefool::clap2::clap2::thumbsup:
slowrollwv Posted April 3, 2016 #36 Posted April 3, 2016 Great news Jeff Hope to see you at one of the outings this year.
Flyinfool Posted April 24, 2016 Author #37 Posted April 24, 2016 Another milestone hit. Trouble is a comin now. Got the needed work done on the bike and burned off a full tank of gas today. Foot was a bit sore but not bad and felt fine again after a couple of hours rest. The hard part is pushing the bike backwards about 20 feet uphill and over a threshold to get it out of the shed that it lives in. That is a lot of stress on the foot.

That is a lot of stress on the foot. Thought you built a device to rotate that thing in the shed? You definitely need a new plan!Pushing it 20 ft uphill is most deffinately not a good one. Glad you had a good ride though.
cowpuc Posted April 24, 2016 #40 Posted April 24, 2016 Engineering 101: Mount an electric winch on a tree on the other side of the road,, hook the cable on the back of the bike and drag her up da hill ,, simple pimple and easy as pie.. Non-engineering old school biker method with friends who dont know about your snow making skills: invite your biker buddies over for a hot dog and have em push you.. Non-engineering old school biker method with friends who do know about your snow making skills: learn to turn the bike around and use Mr. Gravity to back the it in.. :lightbulb:good thing VR has a Puc in its club to do all the thinking or nothing would get thunk about Glad you finally got a chance to get out and test that knew foot Jeff!!! Sounds like your headed for a GREAT summer of riding:dancefool::dancefool:!!!!!!!!!
Flyinfool Posted June 7, 2016 Author #41 Posted June 7, 2016 Well it was close, I will not be riding to MD this year. I will be in the big red truck again. While the foot is good enough for local riding I do not trust it yet for a long distance ride with all of the extra weight piled on. Just the 45 minute ride to work everyday is fairly painful by the end, I just do not think I would enjoy a 10 hour ride. BUT on the other side of the coin, I will have my sweety with me this year. She does not do bikes. She will be staying with me at the pond monster inn and has never in her life slept in a tent before.

I'll do my part to make it as entertaining as possible for her. Is she familiar with nocturnal lake lizards and snipe hunts? Since you're caging it you ought to swing by and throw Puc and Tippy in the back and tote them with you.
Guest Jamsie Posted June 7, 2016 #43 Posted June 7, 2016 maybe you could make something like this to turn bike around, assuming you have enough room https://www.manomano.co.uk/mechanic-tools/motorcycle-dolly-red-motorcycle-stand-527153?g=1&referer_id=537135&gclid=CjwKEAjw4dm6BRCQhtzl6Z6N4i0SJADFPu1nihcdJ0GM-ltc05B_DXDwe8ywe-MhoqsqNGcBt5SxcBoCkdjw_wcB

She knows nothing of those things............ But you have to behave at least a little bit, I might want her to do this again sometime. I have thought of picking up Puc and Tippy on the way. I'll have to give ol Puc a shout. HEY, @cowpuc!!!!! maybe you could make something like this to turn bike around, assuming you have enough room https://www.manomano.co.uk/mechanic-tools/motorcycle-dolly-red-motorcycle-stand-527153?g=1&referer_id=537135&gclid=CjwKEAjw4dm6BRCQhtzl6Z6N4i0SJADFPu1nihcdJ0GM-ltc05B_DXDwe8ywe-MhoqsqNGcBt5SxcBoCkdjw_wcB Not a chance of turning it around in the shed with any sort of contraption.

I always behave.....in some sort of manner.
Karaboo Posted June 8, 2016 #46 Posted June 8, 2016 Put the whole shed on a turn-table and a door on both ends. Red Green could hook you up, I'm sure.
Flyinfool Posted June 9, 2016 Author #47 Posted June 9, 2016 I guess I need to stock up on red and green duck tape first.
