Painful yes, but to throw a leg over the ol racebike, after legs were pulled out of hips, and place two recently broken arms from Daytona March 2nd, on throttle and clutch...priceless! 8)  And just in time for Carolina.  I took the bike out for the first time just about a week ago, and a bunch of the local boyz came together to rebuild the bike when my arms were just dead weight.  The part that hurt the worst, was all the folks that seemed to be waiting for me to get creamed just so they could fire off a told ya so, and, the ever popular...was it worth it?  I was even accused of being a bad father! :err: But to answer their question, yeah, it really was worth it.  I'd rather live the life God has given me for a season with bros like all of you, than sit on my butt for 80 years with the 401k club.  See ya soon, and thanks for the encouragement, Art.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOOOHOOO! What a freaken ride"
