 I finally got the OK from my neuro - surgeon to drive and to RIDE AGAIN FINALLY and go GEEZIN around  today on my six week follow up visit ... He just said just be carefull and use common sense  and don't be bumping my head on anything , and don't be using my head like a BOBBLE HEAD because thats hard on the ol neck , but all in all he was SURPRISED that my neck healed up quicker than he expected , YIPEEEEEE !! now I hope I still remember how to ride and drive the " Old Fat Lady " after ALL summer long being under house arrest .... first thing today is to wash and shine up my " Fat Lady " and get all that nasty garage dust off my baby and go for a cruise , and burn up some gas and charge up the ol battery ... and just in time too because I gotta report back to school next week for a new school year  ... can't wait until I retire in three more years , WHEW !!! Thanks the Geez

Congrats. It sounds like it came none to soon either. I too am starting back to school next week. I teach 6 grade science, as you I have about 3 more years to retirement. I actually meet the retirement criteria now, but I still enjoy it plus each year gives me "cough, cough, gag" 2.3% more. Have fun, be safe , and looking forward someday to riding with you.

That's great news, Richard! After my episode last September, I was back on two wheels in 6 weeks and 6 days - on Friday the 13th of November! It would be cool if you can get out there today and ride around the block!

 Thank you all for the good words .... I was about to go stir crazy over this neck rechab at home , but finally I'm out on good behavior , but I stll have to play it safe ....Hey Dave I'm glad you didn't have to go thru what I did after being rear-ended , I figure your angel was working over time , make him earn that $ 4.75 pr hr ....... but no accident is a good accident Dave , but if you can walk away from an accident , now thats a miracle ...... Im pretty lucky , blessed or just in the right company to be associated with a bunch of fine folks like you all .... I'm looking forward to seeing alot of the VRCC crowd again sooner or later ...... Hey Jamtdl , yea we have to report back monday before school starts on the 23rd .... I'm in the Life skills ( Spec. Ed ) at the high school level ,never a dull moment ..... Hey Hot Glue , I have somemore stuff for the GOTF's auction next year ........ Thanks the Geez
