Just back from 1st ride this year :-)

Thanks Clay, , it's not so bad, just a hernia operation... A minimally invasive procedure is planned, (but I've already been told that due to many old scars there, an "open" surgery might be necessary; I'll see).

Weather prognosis for tomorrow: Sunny day about 14°C after noon,..so i will jump on the "Time machine" for a last little ride..!

Hi Joe, hope all goes well, and you will be riding again soon,
Rich.
 

Thanks, Rich., and all you buddy´s ,.. It'll work out!
(What about you, Rich? No impressions or riding experiences, or pictures from your beautiful 650 during your last summer season???

((I was talking to an acquaintance last week who said he always finds a reason NOT to ride: Too hot, too cold, too windy... I looked at him completely baffled and asked him WHAT he even had his bike for anymore... but everyone sees things differently ... i still have my bikes they are made for: Riding!

Hi Joe, not done any riding as following the Dupuytren removal from my right hand I then got Carpal tunnel, probably from a trapped nerve, so now have to get that released. Made the most of this time and got the clutch cush rubbers replaced. Also for the last month, had family from the UK staying with us, so busy. 
My bike will be ridden very soon, so lots of photos and reports to come .
Rich.

Hi Rich.

That's bad news about your hand. I hope the doctors can fix it! I wish you a speedy recovery! Don't let it get you down!
