Cool Wheeee Hooooo!

Five months to the day since a major 3 point ankle break after a fall! I got back on today and took a short ride. Little pavement & a little dirt. I had run all the gas out of the carb. months ago. Charged the battery last week and added a bit of " Sea Foam" fuel additive. She coughed and quit a couple times and then said, "let's go"! Little strange at first, but after a few minuets, felt real good to be back on the KLX! Stupid, I know, but I even opened her up to 70 mph on the way home. Had to clean things out, don't ya know!
The photo is, "what it is"!
BTW: Thanks for all the encouragement early on! @ 67 it hasn't been as easy as it would have been @ a much earlier age, but there's no flowers on top of me yet!

Thanks for the report, Shadetree.

Just a little over two years ago my femur was fractured from a snowmobile. I couldn't wait to get back on the bike. It's good therapy.
