Hope not! Going in for right foot surgery tomorrow. Plantar faciatas (sp), been getting cortisone shots for 2 years hoping it would heal, but no dice. Not sure if I can ride with a boot on, but it is the right foot and I do have front brakes lol. If it heals slow and we get an early winter, might be parked for awhile. Took a last ride Saturday, 400 + miles, did all the cool roads I could in a day. Awesome ride, when I was in NY, I passed a house that had 3 old bikes for sale on the lawn. A seasoned gent waved as I rode by so I turned around and stopped to chat. He was selling 2 old Hondas and a Bultaco. Glad I stopped, nice guy, rode his whole life. Got back in town around dark, filled the tank, added seafoam just in case and parked her.  You all keep writing riding stories so I won't go bonkers, Oss, hope you do your ride again next year, sorry I couldn't make it this time. RIDE SAFE Craig |

Good luck with the surgery Craig. Let us know how it goes. I have been facing the same thing for 3 years now and might have to do the surgery one of these days. I hate hospitals.

Good luck, Craig. Are you going to get one of those knee scooters? Seriously, good luck and I hope the surgery takes all that pain away....

Well, I survived...Dr said it didn't go as well as he thought it would, but the job is done.
All bandaged up with a boot that I can't put any weight on for 2 weeks. And Oxy is my friend...
Now there's time to find some curved truck stacks, like Hayhauler got, and do some interweb shopping. It's time for a gun safe in the bedroom. Any recommendations? Just want to put 2 handguns & ammo in it.
Thanks for the well wishes all!
