Probably way faster than an old H2 , just not as intimidating.

Thinking of fenders ... where's the front fender ? Roll Eyes

That little thing - that's where the fender should be is not for keeping water spray of anything ??? Well ... maybe the bottom of the headlight ? Grin

Besides being a dry weather bike only ... it's a nice looking machine !

There are a lot of those "Dry Weather" bikes being produced .

Met with Dr #2 yesterday and reviewed mri. He is a sports surgeon and has seen a lot , he said no surgery yet and there is no repairing it at my age. Dr #1 referred me to #3 who has referred me #4 a surgeon. Gettin back to results of mri , multiple tears of labrum , crushed with cysts that fill with fluid when inflamed , multiple bone spurs , loss of cartilage and the list goes on and on. He wants to inject the joint with steroids. Says when pain gets too bad I’ll be gettin a double hip replacement surgery a few years down the road. He too said no more kick starting motorcycles. Keep on with P/T try to keep it healthy. Guess all my as$ kickins will be given with the other leg.

Rutty, Man that makes my surgery sound simple! I am 4 days off the cane and still hobble, but I mowed the lawn yesterday! See my surgon in 4 days don't know if he will yell at me or praise me. I have sore muscles in my leg, but no more pain in my hips. All in all I am glad it's done.
Started Thumper today, first time in 4 weeks. Was all I could do not to try to climb on. Another 4 weeks and I am gonna RIDE AGAIN.
