been riding 2 for about 45 years, got a nice chunk of brain cancer last June, well, was diagnosed then, thought I had a stroke, was paralyzed in right arm and leg, they did some "stuff" got it shrunk, and I jumped all over PT.. amazed the lady that gave it to me.. was drivin the "Cube" by 1st of Sept., and in Oct tried to back out my 03 Honda vtx1800r..
goin backward, with a big bike to lot's different muscles than walk forward
so.. it didn't go well..as I had been saying for years "next bike a trike" on GP's, looked at a few, Can-am and such, but Tuesday went to the HD store in Palm Bay w/ a friend that had done lots of business w/ them..bottom line, I rode, and signed a contract on the 2011 ultra glide..
was havin a hard time not puttin my feet down, Jack, sales came over, gave me a pep talk, and said.. ya know, if you get this, you can leave it here, come here for a few days and drive it in out lot (they have req bike training course) until your comfortable.. that took pressure off yesterday, signed, went back this morning, rode for an hour, only time I "thought" about puttin foot down, was when I practiced "power stops".. backed it into parking places, did figure 8's, and got a lot more comfortable.. waiting on my money lady to send me the balance, so, will bring it home Fri, or Monday!!
