Thanks for everyone’s support and encouragement! The wife is an RN and she knows all about counting her pills. The Vicodin does take care of the pain and I have to go pickup a prescription for more today. As for the PT, she was ahead of the curve when they evaluated her at the hospital before she came home. A couple of more weeks and she should be good! You definitely learn who cares about you when you go through something like this.

I have done a track day and it was a blast. But I just love street riding. Been riding since I was 13, almost 59 now. The FJR is almost the prefect street machine, to me.

Koala I understand. These companies should not be allowed to pay their employees such low wages while they make big profits!

Nobody said that you couldn’t post your jobs. We are saying that $10/ hour is not a living wage! It doesn’t matter that the pay is in line with other cleaning jobs. I bet you don’t make that much an hour!

Kind of hard to live on $10/hour.

The Vicodin is working. The pain is already better than it was.

And the wife’s dad just died! It had been coming for a while. Cancer from smoking!

My wife had total knee replacement Friday morning. It went well. I was hoping that her pain wouldn’t be too bad. Wrong! To me there is nothing worse than seeing someone you love in pain! FUCK!!! The doctor wanted to give OxyContin for the pain, she had him give her Vicodin instead. It works, but every 4 hours she is in extreme pain. I was supposed to start a pretty good seasonal job tomorrow, not going to be able to! I am the only one that can take care of her. FUCK!!! Okay I am done.

I agree with Pauly, Jim! I enjoy following you.

When I bought my 2009 FJR from them 4 years ago they wanted $9500 for it. They wouldn’t come down but gave me $5500 for my Busa.

IP is always high on their stuff. Is yours an ES?

Lol

My birthday is October 8. Someone should buy me this used 2016 FJR ES with 5485 miles that Iron Pony has.

I got a new T30 GT rear tire at IP. They are on close out for $105. I got out the door for $146. Also picked up a A-stars summer base layer tank top for $5.

My wife is looking to hire STNAs in Lexington Ohio. $1000 sign on bonus and starting at $12 an hour..

I ended up running the BRP as far south as the Little Switzerland area. Rode part of 226, too much traffic, got some lunch and headed back north. My back tire is getting near the end of it’s life and didn’t want to chance it. Ran up the BRP to N.C. 221. I forgot what an awesome road it is from the BRP north to Blowing Rock. 15 to 20 miles of nice tight predictable corners! Followed 221 to 16. Ran the Back of the Dragon and I am in Princeton WV for the night. Got a new sticker and t-shirt.

At the Knights Inn in Galax. I am about 10 minutes from the BRP. Going down the BRP tomorrow to the Gap area.

Left the house at 10. The first stop was 150 miles from there in Marietta. On 77, 80 miles from Galax.

I think that I am going to skip West Virginia 16 tomorrow and slab down to Galax, Virginia. I still need to pack. Hoping to get going by 10 am in the morning.

BRP Thursday. Lol

You sure took a lot of this summer off! LOL

I am going to try to have some fun. The wife will be down 4 to 8 weeks. I am starting a seasonal job driving a 26 foot straight truck on the 17th. 4 weeks of 40 to 60 hours a week for 4 weeks.

I am planning on leaving Wednesday, the 5th, for a 4 or 5 day trip. Tentatively planning to head down WV 16 to somewhere south of Gauley Bridge. I want to head over to the Blue Ridge from there. Trying to get one last trip in before the wife has her knee replacement surgery on the 14th.

Wonder if this will fit my FJR? How long is it?

I did this today.
