Gertrude's going to pass yours soon. 99,500 and change as of half an hour ago. By the time I get done today she'll have about 99,600. I was so hoping to hit 100k by the end of the year. So close!

Yeah I could go for a 500 mile ride in the drizzle and fog. Yuck, no thanks. Errands and going out with friends this evening, that's it for 2022.
Yes,Grandpa,you sure are catching me fast :thmup:

Yeah, crazy ain't it? I don't think I've put even 3k miles on the bike I have now, for a couple of reasons: 1. I don't like the bike much 2. It doesn't fit me 3) It's too cramped for me 4) After I ride I can't get out of my recliner for three days.

I've ridden the Vulcan I think once since I bought the car, and, sure enough, couldn't get out of my recliner for three days. So as soon as I get around to replacing the front turn signals (they were damaged in a blowover before I bought the bike) she's up for sale. I'm having surgery on the shounder on the 11th of February and will be out of action for a while.

I guess we'll be able to compare notes. Yours is a more complex surgery than mine I think - shoulder replacement! Best of wishes to you in your recovery, keep us posted!
