Status Report: June 1, 2008
Becky is doing well; she was released from Rehab Thursday. Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts. Painful as it is, looks like she will make a full recovery and be back to normal by next Spring. Of course, that has really screwed up our plans for this summer. The way I see things, it sure beats the alternatives, and she is dealing with it in a positive manner. Mentally, her outlook is great.
Here is a photo right after the crash, Jeets, ChillTech & I rode a mile down the road to a church parking lot and stopped to regroup.
I haven't decided what to do with the FJR. The decision is somewhat predicated on whether or not it's jinxed. Maybe I should replace it with a fresh ride. I've been looking at a 650 V-Strom, which I think would be great for 1-up touring. Becky wants me to get the FJR fixed, although she's mum on whether or not she will ride again. And can you blame her. Last week she said that it will probably be a year till she's strong enough to ride again.
Sorry to hear about Bernie's get off later that same day. It was just not a good day for riding. I almost tipped it pulling away from the gas pumps at the Wawa earlier that morning. There have been days in the past that I didn't go out because I just felt I wasn't in the right frame of mind for a ride that day, maybe this was a foreshadow of things to come. Bernie & Jeff waving off.
Close up views after I got home.
And a parting shot of better times; 2 weeks before at Stoudt's
