My wife and I were there a few years ago. The D Rose inn in Leaky was a great place for us to stay. The 3 sisters were great, acutually we enjoyed all the roades we traveled on.

Hi everyone, Duke (Wayne and Susan), Terry and I were able to visit Big Bob. We had a great visit! He is doing fantastic considering where he was a few days ago. I will let Johanne do the offical update but I just wanted to let everyone know that he looks good and is doing well. Take care, Tom P.S. If anyone should see Lowell, please let him know how much Big Bob has improved!

Thanks very much for the update Johanne. Let him know Terry and I are rooting for him. Tom

I didn't know that also. I thought the circle was made of bone and the nerves, muscles etc. went through it. Good thing I'm not a doctor! Thanks, Tom

Wow, I didn't know that they could move or clean the nerves but I guess they do this in other instances. I was told my option was to have them remove a chunk of bone from my carpal tunnel. Where it goes from a O (ovel)to a C shape. Tom

Gary, Terry and I are very sorry to hear these news. Our thoughts are with you and your family. Tom and Terry

Hi Condor, I have carpel on my right hand quite bad. From what I know, carpel syndrome should only effect your thumb and first two fingers. The nerve that controls these 3 fingers come through the back of the neck, through your shoulder, down the front (non-hairy) part of the forearm, through the carpel tunnel in the wrist and goes to the thumb and fingers. I am not sure exactly where the nerve comes from for the other fingers. I saw a physio guy a few years ago when it was very bad. He tried a bunch of stuff but than he finally convinced me to try acupuncture. The first needle that went in gave me "instant" relief. He told me that certian muscles in your arm get knotted up and cause a stress on everything going into your carpel tunnel. Knot may not be the best word. From what I understand you get spots where the muscle bunched up (looks like a knot on a string). This basicly blocks the passage in your carpel tunnel and pinches the nerve so as soon as acupuncture needle touched the muscle knot, the knot relaxes, in effect, lengthing that muscle. The muscle now being the proper length, now stops squeezing everything going through the carpel tunnel and stops pinching the nerve. The reason I ran through this is that it may be you were overcompensating for your carpel nerve and caused damage to the other nerve(s) controling the other fingers. There are times when I am riding that, first my carpel nerve goes, if I don't or can't use my throttle lock, the other nerve(s) start causing my other fingers to go numb also. If you know or trust an acupuncturist, it may be an option. This is just my expreience. Hope it helps. My doctor had aslo suggested surgery but I chickened out. I never like it when anyone wants to chop a piece of my anatomy off! Take care, Tom (True 1st gens rule!)

Rick's right, Tires are very expensive up here. I have E3's on the rear and E2's on the front... You don't want to know my cost! Love them. Had about 40,000 klms on the back E3's and still had at least 10,000 klms left but changed before our trip this summer. I like good rubber. A lot of guys up here are going for the avons, and like them. If you are going to be putting on a lot of milage, I would recomend a good tire. The age thing is a problem also. From what I understand, after so many years the rubber starts to get hard, and you loose road grip. I'm not sure how many years before this happens, maybe someone knows. Condor is also right, you don't scrimp on tires. Too important! You have a great bike, enjoy!
