Title: Dragon day ride this Saturday (15th)
Post by MMRanch on 10/10/16 at 19:25:37

Saturday is my brother Kent's birthday . So some of his buds from north Ga. are meeting Kent and me for a Dragon run , mid morning Saturday.

Is any Savages going to be in the area ?

I suspect a sky-way ride will take the middle of the day ? :-?
I believe most of the North Ga. bunch will be on Harley Baggers , so keeping up will not be a problem , and the more the merrier ! :)

Kent got an 1994 Sportster that is new to him (this summer). I understand it has some "Up-Graded" parts ... I ain't seen it yet , it might be emasculate ? He tends to like the old-school Chopper look . ;)

I would love to.....can't.

My wife wants to go to a "woodcutting" party that her best friend has every year. My wife broke her ankle in 3 places 4 weeks ago, (lots of plates and screws involved) and she wants me to take her to her friends party on Saturday....it will be her first outing since the break, and she has been sitting at home with her leg propped up for weeks. I would be in serious trouble if I abandoned her to go riding!
(But I am doing laundry, going grocer shopping, doing dishes and filling up her ice bucket every morning - and building up a lot of good will toward next years rides). ;)

Ditto. I don't have a wife on the mend, but I played all day Sunday at the Barber's festival and getting away another weekend in a row might get me in the dog house...and it's getting cooler here and I can't see sleeping in the unheated shop over the winter ;)

If anything miraculous happens and the wife has plans all day Saturday, you can bet I'll load up the S40 and drive up for an all day Saturday ride and come home late Saturday night...but It's not likely to work out.

So your wife is out of karate for a couple of months. Tell her no more breaking boards with kicks, and if she insists, tell her to make sure she breaks the boards and not the ankle. 8-)

Hope she heals quickly.

She is not a very quick healer.....especially with her bones. She is going crazy sitting around with her leg propped up and iced - but the swelling gets bad when she doesn't. She has had a couple days where she had to drive to Indiana and meet with the student teachers she is coaching - and it was not easy for her.

I imagine we still have 4-6 weeks of her hobbling around in a boot - she may be able to put weight on her ankle in a couple of weeks.

Dave, I certainly wish her the best. I am currently recuperating from a weird injury and even though I have been able to walk without any crutches and have no cast, I am not able to do anything even slightly athletic and it is driving me nuts. I have another month or so before I can return to any athletic endeavors and it has already been about 2 months. I though about starting to drink more, but the doctor said alcohol would slow the recovery even more. ;D

If you do anything to put yourself in the dog house just make sure you do it right and include a heater in the purchase. Might as well go big.

Be sure you pay for it at the time you make the reservation. ;)
