Back on the Motorcycle



It has been great to get back on the motorcycle this year! After the crash last year, I didn't ride. I was waiting for my body to heal up. I'm happy to report, I've graduated physical therapy and have been riding regularly this year!

I had to replace some of my gear and get some things repaired. I have a new R3 light vs my R1 light from Aerostich. I also got a new helmet and am now using an R2 from Schuberth since they don't make my Arai anymore. Thankfully, I got a great deal on the Schubert as a ridercoach through the MSF. I was also able to send my airbag vest into Helite and they repaired the damage on the shoulder.

I haven't repaired the SV650 yet. It's been sitting in the corner of the garage. More time for me to enjoy the Vstrom! I do intend to fix it, but haven't found the motivation to do so yet. I hope you are able to get out on your bike and enjoy the ride!

  3. Really nice to hear that you are back on the road again. Wonderful news. I saw one of your Ural videos show up in my feed and thought that maybe you picked one up again...

    1. Thanks Richard. Glad to be back on a moto. Yup, digging out the old drafts and finding some gems. It'll end up here soon too.

  4. Glad to see you back on two wheels, Chris. Me, not so much riding anymore, I have since turned to hiking. Anyhow, all kinds of activities have been suspended anyway due to the corona virus. Stay safe, have fun and keep the shiny side up, eh!?!

    1. Thanks Sonja! I'm hiking a lot on the weekends too! Maybe we can hike together when this is over. Most of my time is bicycling since it helped me get healthy again so I could ride motos again.
