Congrats!! Awesome feeling to be back in the saddle.

Glad you're able to get your 2-wheel therapy. It's the best kind.

Good for you...Take it easy and get back in the saddle a little at a time. Break in slowly adding a few miles more each ride. Then we'll be ready for Custer by June.

Glad to hear this, always a great feeling to be back in the saddle. But, put on the treads and skis if you heading for Custer.

I'm not a trunk man, but that is a nice looking trunk. I also like the one VulcanE has, sharp looking add ons to any nomad. ;)

Take it a bit at a time and before you know it all will be back to normal.

Congratulations!
