      I'd be happy to do it, but I don't have one of those seats on my bike.

      If you ARE one, you don't get a ride, it's as simple as that.
      If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

          Patti, you have gone through more than most, if not all, of our entire list of GSR members..

          You have been a beacon of strength, as well as hope, for all of us for many years.

          There is no dirt blanket yet, so why give up now?

          Two FYIs:

          1-Chuck Hahn is facing a few of those things you went through already.. Maybe you can share some secrets with him?

          2-You had a long fight against balloons. Here is a current court case about government drones that is very similar to your experience.

          Michigan lawsuit over local government's drone use in zoning dispute could jumpstart limits for fast-evolving issue across the country

            For Who Dat and others: Patti has a well-earned, and fully-deserved, position in the top ranks of the most respected GSR members of all time.

              Patti, what exactly is the disability that will keep you from riding? Holding the bike up at stops? Shifting? Braking?

                  It looks like Patti's last activity on the site was Feb 16, five days before my post. Patti sometimes goes for long stretches away from the site and then reports back in.

                  All of us if we ride long enough will arrive at that decision point as to whether it is prudent to continue on two wheels. My hip surgeries probably caused me to ponder that reality earlier than most Fortunately there were no limitations once I was healed but Father Time always wins eventually.

                  I see options such as a trike (not my style really) or a sidecar (something I might be able to have some fun with). I am also smitten by the Piaggio MP3 which has three wheels and stands upright on its own but also leans into turns same as two wheels. I wouldn't mind having one of those now just because they are so trick. They are not cheap though and I am not sure if I would feel the same after the novelty wore off.

                  But those are all options that could possibly be available to Patti depending on her issue.

                          Patti, if you are still viewing the site I only now saw this post. There is so little traffic in the Ladies Only forum (post prior to yours was nine months previous) that I can go months without checking it. May I suggest you start a thread in Campfire as there it will get a mass viewing and response.

                          We would love to have an update.
