Back riding today
« on: March 29, 2013, 11:15:09 PM »
I'm back in the saddle again after an almost 3 month layoff. I took a fall at work and injured my lower back, was out of commision for 3 months. I did start my scoot every week or 2 and she was no problem sitting a couple of weeks at a time.

Took her on the road today for the first time in 3 months and she didn't buck or buckle one bit, the front brake was noisy but that wore off after a few stops. Felt good being back on top, even if the back isn't 100% yet.

The thrill of the ride! Got to love it.

Hit 55 degrees today and sunny - went out on the scooter for about 2 hours and she ran beautifully despite being out only 3 or 4 times since Thanksgiving.  Started right up and ran smooth.  I received a new modular helmet for Christmas and was finally able to ride long enough to start getting used to it.

Temps hit the high 50's maybe even low 60's today but I had a 150 mile trip I needed to make, so out of the garage came the Prowler! That was another nice feeling, after returning home I took my girls to the park with the top down, they loved looking up at the blue sky.

Thanks for the greetings, should be posting quite a bit more now that I'm feeling somewhat better, at least now I can sit upright.

Sorry to hear about the back injury putting you down for a spell, but it sounds like you are getting back to normal and enjoying a ride again.

If find riding to be good medicine. Sure is a good way to forget about things for a while.

Congrats on riding again.  I started to ride again last week after 5 weeks of recovery from my cracked ribs.
