I'm riding already. Surprised the you know what out of me I healed this fast
because the right hurt like hell for a lot longer. I got up last Saturday
and the muscles felt real good. Sunday I went for a ride. I've been riding
sense! My wife thinks I'm pushing it but if it don't hurt what the heck I'm
strong enough to hold the bike up.
J&P will be like the other years, it depends on what's going on with the
PGR.
If you've been watching the news, I'll be there Saturday at 11:30. If you
can make it look me up. I won't be hard to find, look for a trailer flying a
flag on it behind a Fat Boy. I'll probably have my Fat Boy hat on. My name
is on my vest. And that invite is for all that read this forum from Iowa!!!!
