Mounted or otherwise - Ride On - Ride On
Jim, just because you're not at the handlebars for a while don't mean you cant hang here. It don't matter which hand you use for the mouse. Good luck with that arm bro.
Hey Jim, Real sorry to hear about your pain, and having to give up the bike. Like many have already said, you're part of the group and were not going to send you away because you had to stop riding for a bit. Hopefully you will be back on the bike someday, but either way you are always welcome to ride with us from the comfort of your desk chair.
hang in their dude .sure u will soon be back on .
Wishing you all the best!! Stay close for sure!!
Hey my Brother once family...always family.....stay in touch
God's speed

ON the Road Again .....
I feel for ya, I have broken or crushed every bone in my right arm and am now missing the radial head, bursa, some bone off the scapula, the membrane that holds the ulna and radius together and most of the ligaments in my wrist. I have had 5 surgeries trying to repair things and now they want to fuse all the bones in my wrist, just to relieve the pain. Not ready to go there yet, cuz it would seriously hamper my ability to roll on the throttle! LOL! My husband and my mechanic have been great as far as doing everything they can to keep me on the road. They have customized my handlebars to get them in a better position and added cruise control along with a throttle rocker to take the strain off of my right arm. I has worked wonders, but I can still only do about 400 miles and then I am done for couple days. So hang in there! During times that I am unable to ride due to pain or another surgery--this site keeps my chin up!
