Took Suzy Q out for a 100 mile ride, first 40 to loosen her up and then I let her do what she does best, eat up the pavement at around 90 mph. Lots of fun.
What did you do to your Wing today ?

It's gonna be in my "To Dress or Not To Dress" thread... I was hoping to get to work on that today, but I just got home from the ER with the wife. At least tomorrow is a federal holiday, so that means a day off.

I hope your wife is okay.
Thanks V! Bell's Palsy is what they are saying it is for now and they are hitting it pretty hard: four different meds all in a hope to combat it.
As a guy that has had MS for over ten years, I have been through my share of neurological exams and I didn't like them when I was doing them. Watching my wife go through the same things, wasn't the highlight of my evening.

Thanks guys... hopefully the prayers and meds do their thing.

Rode to work again but on the way home it was 45 and my head light quit working, had to take the switch apart and clean the contacts. Works great now
