I WANNA RIDE :(

[Toogoofy317]

    It hasn't even been a week yet since my surgery and I wanna get on my bike   But the doc says  . I just got in the car today and after slamming on the brakes and being lunged forward don't know how good an idea that was   I'm trying soooo hard to be a good girl . I'm pretty sure Yama won't buy that for a minute but it's hard to sit in the house and be a sick person!

Well, I'll stop my whinning for now!

I know how you feel about being stuck in the house. 
I've not been able to ride for about six months now and don't know when I will be. 
Just give it time and I hope you feel better soon.

Surgery > Winter. 

Toogoofy, i feel for ya, I sadly am stuck in the depths of winter.  Rest up and try not to adventure to much, i know its hard being couped up when your used to doing what you want when you want, it down right sucks.

I'm trying soooo hard to be a good girl

You need to be a good girl and do as the doctor tells you!  I know...It's hard to be a good girl when you are a bad girl at heart.

damn right mary, i know you wanna ride, lol so do i, but i cant, im bikeless atm lol, but you, have the opportunity to ride ONCE,and ONLY ONCE your health allows it. if you have to relieve the urge, hell, go out and start and warm up the bike once in a while. donty make me come down there  get well first mmmkay

[Toogoofy317]

I kinda think it sucks more having the weather being nice and not being able to ride. I mean at least during the summer when it rains every day is 98 degrees with 98% humidity I can say well it wouldn't be that much fun to ride with the tourons. But, now it was 73 and sunny today and I had to take the car. Couldn't even put the top down because of the thieves that broke into it!

I got some new grips for the bike so maybe by putting them on it will get a little bit of this out of me! BTW can you get the stock grips off without cutting them? Would like them as back up if these don't take out the vibration like I want them to.

Mary

[yamahonkawazuki]

an option for the vibes is to remove one grip, fill bars with bb's, and reinstall grip. Hell if it works on an out of tune/time harley, it will work ona  gs , it worked onboth my gs's bars as well as my harleys, ( when i had it)

[Toogoofy317]

That will work on the '04 as well? I'm guessing like a 1000 pack of the BB's would do the trick?

I had to work today which I wasn't expecting. I get tired of the schedule changing constantly. But, at least was an easy gig Security for TNA wrestling. You know the one on Spike TV. It is taped here at Universal. But, you would think people would see the sling and not pat you on that shoulder but NOOOOO. So, I am extremely stiff and quite a bit of pain Esp. when I turn my head to the left. I guess that the catheter in my subclavian and the port are a bit snug so I don't have the distance I normally do. Will have to ask the surgeon I guess. And I just can't shake this low grade fever. What I'd give for a good massage right now!

yup bars are bars are bars. as long as you can get to the inside of them, aka removing grip tehn it wil work

[Toogoofy317]

So, I can get the grip off without destroying it? The guy at the Motorcycle Clinic said to cut it off! I also have to remove the bar ends to and cut out the ends of the new grips so the bar ends will go back in.

Are the ProGrip brands good? I got the gel ones. I'm a wimp cause I can't stand much vibration in my right wrist and I know I will be even more tender because of this surgery for awhile. So, going for best solutions possible. Will I need to fill both bars for balance?

Just full of questions tonight!

Mary

[yamahonkawazuki]

well odds are youll ahve to cut it. they fit that way so they DONT come off easily

[yamahonkawazuki]

OR remove the grip from teh throttle side, ( IIRC comes off with screws)if you wanna try usign the stockers

[natedawg120]

if you get yourself a can of WD-40 and take the stream spray tube and shove it under the grip and squirt some in there and work it a little the grip will slid right off.  Once of wipe WD-40 off, do what needs done, (this is going to sound gross) and spit in the grip to give it enough slid to work it back on the bar.

Oh i forgot that you are probably at home, dish soap works better than spit, spit works good in a crunch

Do you have an air compressor?  You can get the grips off by using an airgun and forcing air under the grip between it and the bars and wiggle it off.

[frankieG]

you can be my pillon when i get there.

[yamahonkawazuki]

You dont wanna torture the poor girl now 

[Toogoofy317]

Ehhh,

I stopped by the surgeon's office today because I've been having a few small issues plus the hospital didn't give me good post op details. I can finally take a shower now I don't stink sooo bad! Apparently I wasn't supposed to take the top dressing off the second day guess the receptionist at the surgeon's office didn't actually ask the nurse but said it was ok because the steri strip was still on there. The nurse said my low grade fever didn't seem to be related to the incision cause there's no redness. I slyly slipped in do you think I can ride my bike yet? She was like "You must really love that bike". Uhhh, yeah I do. "We'll you're gonna have to wait a while longer cause you're in no shape!" "Talk to the doctor on Friday and he'll give you an idea on when you can get back on your love."

As for me I feel lousy. I tried to go out shopping but when I stopped to eat I got severe abdominal pain and nausea. Bad meal I guess. Got to my friend's house and rested tried to eat dinner and half way through pain and nausea! I'm running a low grade fever and having chills as well. I'm just praying that it is not my Chron's disease joining in on the fun. I don't think I could handle this issue on top of everything else!

BTW Frankie on who's bike would I be riding pillion on? And when you gonna make it down?
