I feel your pain, I finally got the hardware installed in my back last month. Maybe we can meet up and get a ride in this summer, I owe you a lunch sometime.

Hello Venture friends. I had serious back surgery in January and February and haven't been able to ride this year. I rode about an hour yesterday and today my buddy and I rode to another town to have lunch, getting about 100 miles in today. The back is feeling great so that won't be a problem riding the Venture. The bad news is that after I got home, I was moving the bike around in the shop with the engine off and I got off balance and it fell over pinning my right foot under the rear floorboard. My buddy got the bike off me and up, then helped me up. I walked around some and kicked around in the shop about 30 minutes. The pain got bad enough that I decided to go to the urgent clinic for an exam. Sure enough, the Xray showed two small fractures on each side of the ankle. So now I am sidelined for another 6 weeks. HOWEVER, if I do what the doctor says, I will be up and running in time for the spring thaw.
