I finally got to ride today.

[Steve S]

After 9 months of recovery from an extensive back surgery and several weeks of moving into a new home, I finally got a chance to ride my Venture today. I am still having some issues with lifting my right leg, but I climbed on the Venture and made the 5 mile ride to our new home. Thinking about getting my bro in law to ride with me tomorrow afternoon. I feel I really need to get away from the house so my wife can have some quiet time without me bugging her about where she has put everything that was in a different place in the other house. 😁 At least that is the story I am going to use after lunch tomorrow.  😇

Congrats on the return. They opened me up Wednesday, sent me home Friday. My bike is on a stand winterized for the first time ever.

@Steve S Glad to hear you were able to ride.  That is a start.  Baby steps...5 miles will turn into 10 miles then to 50 miles and so on.  On this end, I've been riding a lot and leaving my truck and van parked at the house.  

You also did what I used to do in the past and I let my wife do the organizing around the house, etc.  This way she is happy the way she wants it and I get to do what I love to do in the garage, etc.  Ride safe.

Probably so. I’ve been putting it off for several years, doc really wanted to do it last February.  No way I was letting him kill my spring n summer riding and fishing. Maybe it’ll be just cold enough I won’t want to be out anyway.
