About a year and half ago my son suffered a pretty nasty “off”from his dirt bike, lots of road rash and evidently some underlying mental scarring as well. I haven’t pushed him. Apart from a very short ride to a local Bike Night event, he hasn’t ridden since. So yesterday as I was working on the GS, he asked me if we could go for a ride Sunday. How could I say anything but “absolutely”. Stator joined us very nice, if a bit chilly, afternoon Fall ride.

When I had my accident 5 years ago I never once thought about not getting back on a bike...not once. And thankfully my wife never said "I don't want you to ride anymore". She knows that would kill me...
When I did take my first ride after 3 months I was still on crutches....first thing I did was ride to the intersection that I was hit in and rode through it.
Maybe I'm just too dumb to have not had any feelings of not riding again...lolLast edited by trevor; 10-27-2025, 11:34 AM.No signature :(Comment

I took the 81 GS1100 to my favorite industrial road for some air fuel gauge readings. It has a quarter mile of 8' fence on one side, two small food product factories and a storage unit in front of a railroad on the other side. I wanted some wide open readings so I was rolling in second and went wide open, I checked the meter and noticed something moving next to me, I looked right and there was a young 6 point buck white tail deer apparently racing me. I won the race, turned around and came back to where I could watch him. I got one photo and missed 6 more while he was running past. He looks a lot smaller in the pic than he did in a side view running.
Thank goodness he didn't decide to turn in front of me.Last edited by Don R; Today, 01:17 AM.Comment
