alyeska 50 Posted July 3, 2012 I have been away for awhile so I thought this would be a good place to let my old friends know I am back. A certain person who kind of runs this show called me today and inspired me to get back into the social part of riding. Between several trips last year and a new hip and back compression fracture, not to mention the loss of both of my parents at the same time (ramona accident last month) I have kinda been in hiding. I find myself being more tolerant now and put a much greater value on life than I did before, I will probably being doing a whole lot less solo rides from now on and not staying on the road as long. I look forward to riding with everyone again, I will finish my physical therapy on the 8th of this month and will head back east on the 29th to visit my dads old stomping grounds and family. I have gone back to honda (where I started) I really dont know if one bike is better than the other I think its about what makes you happy and you are comfortable with. Hope to see you all on the trail, and if anyone ever needs help in anza borrego and I am here I am always willing to help. Tom West Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
