Hi, All,
Tomorrow I have my second post-operative appointment. I expect the surgeon will release me to therapy. I NEED it. I can raise my arm higher than I could before surgery and I can now move my elbow out to the side, which I could not do before surgery. But I can still only raise my arm about 30 degrees above horizontal to the front and only to about horizontal to the side. Plus I can't get my arm around my back to, say, feed a belt through a back belt loop. But no matter.
I got on the K75 today and just rode. Yes, the arm was a bit sore (I hadn't ridden more than 25 miles in a day since the Deer Meet), but it was not excruciatingly painful. So I rode out of town and kept riding for close to 40 miles, then turned around and returned home. I can personally attest that the K75 will do 115mph according to the speedometer, and can probably do more. I don't want to overdo it, but riding again feels great! 
Ride Safe,

Hey there Phil,
that's good to hear.
Keep riding safe as you don't need another fur coat.
Scott. |
