My boots came, finally
They are comfortable, a real trick with me and shoes because of the horse accident when I was a little kid
But even better, I went out to the garage and jumped on the VFR, and holy crap, I can ride!!!!!!!
My palm is not completely healed, but my grip and movement is 100%, and the handlebar is nowhere close to the tiny are that is tender
May the skies open up and the gods pummel us with road washing rain…

I wore the boots almost all day in the office to help break them in
They are indeed warm, but being in the wind full time will solve that
I drove to work in them and could hardly drive
These things have a lot of support/safety strength and should work great on the bike

now I can take the advanced mcy training class

HEY MARK

Can I rent you out for a couple hours on a rainy crappy Saturday this summer?

The plan would be I pay you in beer or cash
You would come over to my place and help me tear down the dash so I can replace my gauge faces
I would prefer to do the job with your help than to do it on my own

That's a possibility. Keep in mind that I've never taken a dash apart.

I may sell my big streetbike this year
My neck just is on the fringe and I know this from trying on my helmet a few weeks ago, I've suffered terribly ever since.
Me and Peyton Manning... just hanging out, talking about how it used to be...
Enjoy your lives when your healthy cause it's a bitch to hurt all the time when you're old.
