First ride since October! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Scribbles · 05-12-2007, 10:05 PM

I finally got the word that my leg was strong enough to ride again, and we took the opportunity of the good weather today to take a 45 mile ride! It felt so good to be back on the bike again. We may ride again tomorrow, too.

As a congrats on riding again (and an early birthday present), Lancer gave me a new mesh, armored jacket that matches my bike! All in all, it was a good day to be back in the saddle again!

That's great, Scribbles.

Now you are set up for many more miles of fun!

ts250girl · 05-12-2007, 10:55 PM

Awesome! Must feel pretty good

blackie1491 · 05-12-2007, 11:36 PM

Just don't over do it.

Good to have you back and riding.

Hey Scribbles...Good to hear your getting back to normal and still in the game.

Fantastic! Many would have given up after your ordeal.

Great to hear your able to re-wet your appetite for riding and got some in.

and with a new jacket too!

Congratulations!!
I know a lot of people who had quit riding after a bad experience.

But it's nice to know that some people just don't learn!!

Welcome back!

I cant imagine how it must have felt not riding since October, I was climbing the walls after 2 weeks after my low sider waiting for my knee to get well enough to ride , I waited for 4 weeks before getting back on and slowly got back into it. Take your time and hone your skills as that long of a layoff will make anyone just a little rusty.

Thanks, everyone!

We really liked the ride, and enjoyed the great weather this weekend. We are looking forward to more riding. And yes, we are taiking it slow--for the gimpy one!
