Go see a doctor....you need to do it now!  Remember what happened before. 

Give me a call and let me know what he says.

I had chemo today....if I can do that you can go to the doctor.

All started a few weeks ago when I was cleaning out a old fence roll on the back-side of my property just got to hot. I missed a couple days work that week and feeling much better than I did then just don't have much energy or pep in my step....I'm going to take a ride tomorrow probably go hit The Dragon , Cherohala Skyline and Foothills Parkway that will make me feel better  cooldude

Joe,

I've been there, done that..................waited too long to see the doctor.  felt lazy no energy sorta out of sorts.  I got worse................then BAM.  Heart attack.  Dont get that far along sick.  Its not worth it.  See a doc.  Get a check up.  Be safe.  Bring it............go to doctor!

It's appreciated  cooldude  I'm gettin' better and the last time I went to the doctor I was in the hospital 14 days and I thought they was going to kill me  Sad  Truth is they did save my life ( busted lung ) however I'll probably be knockin' on Heaven's door before I ever go again.

Hey Joe, I hope you get to feeling better. Like Flat6 said, if it doesn't go aways soon see a doctor. A few years back I started feeling so weak and walking 50' I had to sit down, my neck and jaw was hurting(always thought under the arm and/or chest pain) and my wife asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital. For the first time in my life I said yes bc I hate doctors and rather take a beating than go to doc! I got to the hostital in time a they put a stent in and felt better than 100%!

On a lighter note, I hope maybe I'll see ya tomorrow and Misunderstood. Can't miss your blue Valk or Misunderstood's yellow one! I'd like to meet ya'll and see who I'm talking to on this board! Lol cooldude

I think he was talking about riding today (Friday). Haven't gotten a hold of him and may just head out on my own if I don't hear from him soon. Had plans to go to KY but need a break and the Skyway, dragon loop is one of my favorites. May see you on the road today if you're out and about.

Hey Misunderstood, How ya liking your new Valk? Well I guess I know the answer to that! 2funny

I see you live in Knoxville and are headed to to the Gap area. I pulled up the Skyway on the net and man some of those places range from $100-$400 a night!! which is crazy! Which would be closer to stay, Knoxville or Gattlingburg/Pigeon Forge?

Thanks cooldude

Gosh how I envy you guys in east Tennessee, Western NC, VA, etc. I used to have property in Kingston, TN (Sugar Grove Valley area). Lost that in a divorce.  We have so few pretty rides here in central Florida. That's why I haul the Valk to the mountains as much as we can. Will be there the first week of October!! YEA, can't wait to hop on the BRP. Feel better soon Joe.

No Dick Tracy phone for me I've broke two phones in less than a year and it's another year before I can get another without paying $600.00 for one with all the bells and whistles  Shocked  Still got the POS that's super glued together . Wasted most of today wandering around two Verison's stores ....They got me with the " CONTRACT " .....Joe don't sign nothing but the ol'lady will sign anything without even looking at it  Angry

Tell Gordon I'll just talk to him about the pipes when I catch a ride with you guys as I'm between phones now as well. Trying to find an old one to use my sim card in til Nov when the contract is out and I can switch us to straight talk. I'll post a ride report with pics from today on a new thread.  cooldude

He ain't going to the Doctor unless we find him passed out or something.

He is going to the Dragon and ride it at night.

I am going to a sleep study tonight.

So I can't go to the Dragon Tonight.

He will make it.

He is tough.

I googled the "The Lube" and came up with hits on a place called "Quaker Steak and Lube".  I'm guessing that's it?  5616 Merchants Center Blvd, Knoxville, TN 37912.  I'm up in Bristol and thought about riding down for it in a few weeks.

Yes that's it "Quaker Steak and Lube" 5616 Merchants Center Blvd it's Knoxville biggest bike night ( Every thursday night ) and I think the record stand's at over 600 bikes ....They always have a great local rock band the beer is ice cold and the food is border line nasty in fact I've had supper there several times and it sucked each and every time .
