Heal up man, congradulations!
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

Glad to hear that you are doing better.

A word of advise, remove the plates after you have healed. I had plates (2 @ 4" long) in my left arm which were removed 2 years later and that arm does not give me any problems. The plates (1 @ 4" & 1 @ 6") are still in my right arm and they make my arm hurt a lot. I want to have them removed but do not want to deal with the down time until it heals again.

i have a plate in my left wrist much like that from a 4 wheeler incident years ago... unfortunatly, Insurance does not pay to remove the plates, it is optional surgery, and quite pricey. :(

LOL man you would never make it driving in MIAMI Florida!  :lol:  Glad to hear you are okay. And congrats on the wedding. Just for your sake never drive your motorcycle in Miami. We have the most aggressive  and rude mother Falkers only second to L.A. and N.Y. When cars get imported down here I think they remove the turn signals and brake lights completely.

I have checked with several different insurance policies that I have had over the years...if it not classified as a pre-existing condition (ie: treated by a doctor in the past 4 years) then it can be covered. If there is pain involved then it is not optional surgery.

I have four hooks and two rods in my back that I'm still debating on whether to have taken out or not. Probably not. Love the little GS, Falklands (Malvinas if you're Argentine), and this forum.

A good bit of advice I learned from my buddy who wrecked before...I have only been riding for 1 month on the GS, but I say this quote every time I hop on my bike...

"Ride like EVERYone is out to kill you"  Im serious....

bc basically they will (if they hit you hard enough or vice versa) and yes it will be considerecd an accident, but I drive so defensively now and its scary to see how bad people drive now that I am on 2 wheels.

Good luck on your marriage!  

Love the forum, Turkey (the bird!) and all of the east coast (west coast is just as fun, but I dont live there and am just jealous haha ;)
