The service on my bike is finished, but it is still at the dealer. I can't ride yet, so I have to get someone to bring it home for me. I did go take a look at it though. The new pipes and mufflers look
great! I'll get pictures posted later when I have the bike back. I want to hear it
roar though!
I've been out of the house only one time since I had my foot surgery ( a little over 2 weeks), and that was to go to the docs to have the cast taken off (and stop by the BMW dealer, and go to lunch
). Everything is healing and going just as it should. Unfortunately, in order for everything to heal properly, they put on another cast which will stay on for another 5 weeks.
And I'm not supposed to drive until the cast is off. So I'm off work until then (thank goodness for State Disability Insurance), unless someone from work can come and pick me up every morning and bring me home after work. I can't put any weight on my foot at all.
In the meantime, I will be doing the little things I can do on the bike that I can do without having to put weight on my foot. Like putting the decals on the battery side covers, and putting new roundels on the tank and on the back. I'm also going to try out the technique I learned on the forum for fixing the crack in my hard bags. I've got the nice bag from Mag's Bags for all the camping gear to go on the back of my bike that needs all the seams sealed. So, I've got plenty to do.
When all this is done and I can get back on the bike, I'm going for a
loooooooooong ride! (After a few short ones and some parking lot practice to get my "feel" back. - It's been way too long since I was on a ride.)
Happy Spring riding everyone!
