Glad to hear you are back in the saddle once again, pain free.
Won't be too long for me getting new hips if I continue my current progression. But the saddle bags??? Noo way am I gonna be adding more size to my rear end! I even tucked my cans because people kept commenting on my Gen too big azz!
Ride safe and painless!

Well, yesterday I went out for my first ride yesterday since August when the hip pain got too much for me to ride "safely."

It's been a LONG slow healing process for me and hind-site being 20/20 I wouldn't have had the procedure I had done, I would have went a different route, but it's too late now,

So the weather for yesterday was supposed to be in the low 60's. In the typical Wisconsin way, it barely got in the high 50's. I believe it was about 55 when I left, and rode for about 2 hours or so.

COMPLETELY PAIN FREE!


Totally stoked for this riding season, hoping to make up for the last couple years.

Also mounted up the bags again and was getting a feel for having hips on the back, and it's not bad at all, pretty happy about that purchase as well. I may even leave them on, it's nice being able to stop somewhere and actually buy something for a change.

Just thought I'd share since there were many of you following along with my whole surgery deal, etc. And I thank you ALL for your support during this, it means the world to me.


Here's some random crappy cell phone oddball pics from my little ride yesterday, feel free to laugh at the saddlebags..

Good deal your getting all patched up!, always good to get rid of pain.

You won't hear me laughing at your saddle bags. Always good to have dry semi-secure storage.

So, is the aftermarket hip lighter than your stock hip was?
If not, you got ripped off. Bike mods are supposed to save weight.

Congratulations!

I like the bags but I'm partial since my other bike is a Bagger....looks like a lot of stuff can fit in those.

Great to hear your back on the road.
Ride safe and have fun.
