But I think it has to be done. But first some back ground.. ( yea yeah)
Growing up I raced motocross pretty much from the age of 5 untill I got in a bad accident on a street bike and messed up my back.. I have gone down on a few street bikes as well.. Long story short I have beat my body up. Then to top that off 15 years as a street medic did not help. I have yet to figure out why apartment managers put the fattest people on the top floor. SO my knees click when I walk, my shoulders are wore out, and my back is who knows what.
Knowing this I stopped ridding sport bikes as much. They are fine for a 20 to 30 mile trip, but after that I start to hurt, and it makes the ride anything but enjoyable. I got into Choppers and cruiser style bikes and all was good I could go for days ( even rode to Alaska once) with no trouble..
Flash foward to this year, for the last few months i have noticed my right hand goes numb after just a few min on the bike. I dont know if it is something to do with my shoulder, or maybe something else. But it only does it when i am riding. after about 30 to 45 min my whole right arm starts to hurt.
So it looks like i will be putting my beloved Bonnie on the market.. If i cant ride her then she should go to someone who can take her out on the open road where she loves it. She is the only bike i ever bought brand new. I was not even in the market for a bike when I got her. I called the dealer to order parts and Jeff told me she was there and I bought her unseen. He deliverd her to me 300 miles on way that night. I took delivery of her in the Target parking lot at 9pm.And I have been in love with her ever since. I bathed her in HOK black diamond paint, had everything that unbolted chromed, put nothing but the best on her, even gave her a bigger heart ( 790cc to 1000cc big bore kit) she is my baby, but if I cant ride her, I cant keep her. She loves the road, that is where she is happy.
