Mrs. Rat and I had big plans for the weekend, including a get-away on our motorcycles. Hers, pictured left . . . A Harley Davidson Super Glide. Mine, on the right, a Honda St1300A. But the motorcycling gods did oppose us. First with rainy and cool weather. Second with my wife having her arm in a sling,after effect of bursitis in her shoulder. We're sad to leave the bikes parked at home, and instead take the cage. But, we agree that it's Better to let the shoulder heal and live to ride another time.
Ordinarily, the rain is yet another strong argument for good, protective gear (and the ST1300's super-element-blocking-adjusto-screen). However, there's just not much gear can do for an arm in a sling.
ReplyDeleteWise choice.
You're right, Erik. My wife considered ignoring doctor's advice and taking off the sling for the ride, but decided against that. Best to heal up fast and get back to riding, rather than do something which would protract the recovery period.
