Woody Posted March 12, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 12, 2023 This is just a place to share a recent ride without starting a new thread, here I'll start it off. 😎 Trina and I went to eat with my son yesterday it was his birthday and on the way we seen so many bikes that when we got back home we jumped on the trike and went for about an hour ride I enjoyed the ride so much I can't even tell you what roads we went on but it was all back roads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastorCurt Posted March 12, 2023 Share #4 Posted March 12, 2023 Here , when people are doing ride reports, it is on how the snowmobile trails are and how many miles they rode! I agree with Freebird,”time for this to end!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted March 12, 2023 Share #5 Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) I agree all of these people in warmer climates just rubbing it in. Oh, before I forget, rode up to the lake yesterday and found a great hole in the wall dinner. Edited March 12, 2023 by etcswjoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDawson Posted March 14, 2023 Share #8 Posted March 14, 2023 Haven’t been riding much, back and hip problems keeping me sidelined. Last week we had a 70* day so I sucked it up and we did almost 200 miles. West TN dragon, crossed the ferry, and back to Ky all on back roads. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in April I get to do some fun riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My arthritic right hip gave me grief for over 15 years. Finally it got so bad I couldn't tolerate it any more. Several patients recommended a good surgeon who used the posterior procedure which supposedly takes more time to recover from but the doctor can see what he is doing better and he did the total hip joint replacement last Sept. 27. I shoulda had it done sooner. It's wonderful not having that hip pain any more. My back even feels better. The key is finding a good surgeon I think. There is lots of information on the web about the surgery. There are three different procedures, the anterior, lateral, and the posterior. I even watched a video of the operation which was gruesome. It worked out great for me but I am retired and didn't have to worry about getting back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nerve bundle going to the hip passes between the two vertebrae I crushed in a wreck 36 years ago. Gonna get that checked soon, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna get that checked soon, I don't know if this applies to you, but several times over the years, I would get sciatic nerve pain in my right leg when I was on my feet. I would have to sit or place my foot on something high to relieve the pain. What seemed to get rid of the pain was going on a 1,000 calorie/day diet which is a good solution for any pain related to arthritis I suppose.

The years of my riding are now on the shorter side so I want to ride as much as possible. I rode year around in northern Ohio as a kid. Had a Honda CB200, Suzuki 400 enduro style and a Yamaha 400. It wasn't terrible salt conditions that I remember but I do remember washing them off constantly. We had an old wood/coal stove in the garage and we always had a fire going. Wash/rinse outside and then into the garage to let dry. Part of the reason I moved south was to ride year around and a job opportunity presented itself for me to make the move.

Woody Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share #23 Posted March 24, 2023 oh yeah, we followed the front wheel for about 200 miles yesterday we had a couple of small errands to run about 30 miles apart but the rest was miles of smiles. All the good stuff about the bike and the frustrating stuff on the bike was still there but it all together was therapeutic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etcswjoe Posted March 26, 2023 Share #24 Posted March 26, 2023 I figured I would get a short ride in today before the rain, 121 miles just meandering. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted April 2, 2023 Author Share #25 Posted April 2, 2023 we got in about 75 miles today and I made some poor choices on roads so we got about 10 miles of rough roads but the rest was good and we enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
