  1. WHAT CAN I SAY THERE'S SO MUCH TO RESPOND TO IN A LEWD AND VICIOUS WAY PERSONALLY WHEN I HAVE AN IMPINGEMENT I TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT AWAY HOWEVER IF I HAVE INTERFERENCE THEN I EITHER DECIDE TO DAMPEN THE VIBRATION AND GYRATIONS WITH RUBBER NOT NECESSARILY LASTLY BUT IF I CAN'T GET WHAT I WANT FROM ONE IMPINGEMENT I FIND ANOTHER THAT DOESN'T RUB ME THE WRONG WAY AND STILL LET ME GET HOME ANYTIME I WANT. 😉 wink nudge nudge
  2. Rocky mountain MTV motorcycle is another good source for Bridgestone and I've had good luck with the t32 and s21 especially when they had rebates that brought a set down to 200 bucks shipped basically
  3. PVC spacers top of oem spacer or between the stock spacer cut in half. I use RaceTech spacer washers to fine tune preload. Gorilla tape can be use to hold the bits together. A 16 CST fluid is close enough, and again, fine tube with the OEM preload cap. It isn't rocket science. The Showa / Honda S7 5W is 16.5 cst @ 40C or there abouts.
  4. I'm 70 going on 35 Instantaneous loss of a thought is my other major issue after physical ailments I keep a note pad with me at all times to record what I need to do then put in my smart phones calendar This process is about fifty percent successful 😒
  5. Slept 4.5 hours this afternoon / evening!!! Longest I've Slept in 9 months Immediately got on the thrown and did my biz cleanly Then popped pills I Slept through Cold pack on L1~L5 stretch and now trying to chill as SWMBO sneaks in a bite to eat This all is harder on her than me
  6. Are the nikins tires just fifty percent more to monitor as you would any tire
  7. And then there is a hard top case as recommended as do I really
  8. Well, it's now been 1 week + 3 days since the FM All should know all my comments about riding soon were made in jest. If I'm back in the saddle by Mid - September I'll be ecstatic. Right now i'm just trying to manage my pain and digestion on an hour by hour day by day basis. Definitely more difficult than I ever thought it would be. I now realize how serious the procedure was because they had me in ICU for almost a week. Hopefully, I'll lose a significant amount of weight during this process.And my better gear will fit me finally when I start riding again
  9. You know, every time I see my VTR when I post it up for some reason, and I still go "Man. That bike looks fast just sitting there"
  10. I got the original version which is now. The sport probably 10 years and they're nice. And if you lay them out right there. Okay. I put a stiffner plate under them.
  11. FM +1 week For some reason I don't feel up for a ride Hopefully with my very carefully selected Amazon deliveries today I be in better shape tomorrow for a short shakedown 🏃‍♂️
  12. FM +Day 7 Per the thread title I went out to The Bret Cave (TBC) and lightly touched the saddle of the FJ, and checked Battery State of Charge (BSC) in the VTR. Other bikes are in remote storage but I telepathically sent them well wishes and notices of acknowledgement of their loyal patience with me. It's been raining hard and forecast to have a real feel temp of a very muggy 93F, so I couldn't have ridden anyway. Maybe tomorrow! 😄
  13. FM was great, as anticipated body components left intact were severely traumatized and subsquently become the primary source of pain. Prior installed Ti hardware removed, extremely precise bone removal completed and debris rinsed and vacuumed out, quadruple the amount and extent of hardware indicated by Nurosurgeon was installed, who then zipped me up with staples after an over 8+ hour procedure. Prior time estimate was only 4 to 6 hours. Then I was relayed over to the Pain Management (PM) court, with the supporting crew varying daily, sometimes hourly with no coordinated short-term or long-term focused, detailed plan other than to have me take narcotics in mass quantities. This approach seemed like it was inspite of me and SWMBO telling them about and showing them past records and reports, as well as relating prior surgical experiences that SHOULD have clearly conveyed that OB had a GI tract that COULD NOT tolerate opiods without having SEVERE NEGATIVE REACTIONS!!! So it was not so much PM not giving me low-grade opiods at appropriate times and quantities but getting them to provide anti-nausea drugs at appropriate times and quantities! FYI, Nausea is SIGNIFICANTLY harder to tolerate and control than PAIN; i.e., if necessary, leave a bit of pain and eliminate the nausea!!! TBC, too tired and uncomfortable now
  14. FM +6 Days Came home yesterday afternoon from nearby Hospital, against SWMBO and D1 advice!! (D1 = Doctor #1 of 3, oldest offspring, Rodentia to Rodent #1; D2, MC = Middle Child, DJP = Doctor of Jurris Prudence & then, D3, LOO = Last One Out of SWMBO, declared Free Spirit, anti-establishment type who became DVM because didn't want to deal with humane patients AND their human supporting cast, it being there would be a much greater likelihood that the patients at least would be cute and sweet)
  15. For those interested in how one Ole Boy (OB = Me) goes about recovering from major surgery (see below), I will be posting up at appropriate times and milestones herein
