He had a special sidecar attached with a little ramp so he could ride into the sidecar on his wheelchair. He had all the controls rigged to the sidecar - steering, clutch, throttle, brakes. Peopole coming the other way on the highway got the scare of their lives when they saw what looked like a driverless Harley with a helpless passenger in the sidecar. He thought that was great fun. <BR/><BR/>Scott RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-59083754318075985352008-04-24T10:47:00.000-04:002008-04-24T10:47:00.000-04:00Sharon:I am attempting to lose weight and I try to...Sharon:<BR/><BR/>I am attempting to lose weight and I try to keep limber. My daughter wants me to try yoga (she's an instructor), but it's a little out of my line. I am going to try syndvisk and see if that doesn't help. Other than that, it's drugs. <BR/><BR/>I have to tell you, for the exception of one line, this report as is as true as the North Star.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>JackJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-81634622115902225232008-04-24T03:07:00.000-04:002008-04-24T03:07:00.000-04:00Nice report!

I really really hope no curtain call is in the near or distant future! I'm sure you have, but I must ask...have you turned over every stone? Tried yoga (hope that doesn't sound stupid) but I've read about yoga helping arthritis...massage, applying compresses before and after a ride, wrapping, knee/hip replacement? I might not be helping here, just trying to think of something...Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-8438637889447372102008-04-23T10:50:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:50:00.000-04:00Dear Jack:You can make fun of my silver shirt if i...Dear Jack:<BR/>You can make fun of my silver shirt if it makes you feel more secure. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my grandmother knitted gloves for me that had a long woolen string that threaded through my sleeves. The kids used to make fun of that, but I never lost my gloves.<BR/><BR/>This trip was slower than our usual escapades; I think it must be the LEO breedng season, because they were out like gnats at dust. It was fun, though, and Gatorade at Sheetz was sufficient and certainly a lot faster than waiting an hour for a table.<BR/><BR/>Hasta la proxima vez ( I'm practicing for the Cinco de Mayo ride).BMW-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923099195434220681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-32222419837910644582008-04-23T10:48:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:48:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.BMW-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923099195434220681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6428154721977251894.post-65644135793021536422008-04-23T10:15:00.000-04:002008-04-23T10:15:00.000-04:00You know back in the 70's there was an astronaut w...You know back in the 70's there was an astronaut who crashed in his space craft. Secretly they replaced both his legs, an are and one of his eyes with robotic replacements. I mean that was the 70's imagine what they could do now. Jack, you need to enter the space program, crash your craft and get your legs replaced. Simple.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464143046998262941noreply@blogger.com
