SCHWINN 0 Posted October 30, 2013 I have been having back issues since may and complained enough to get a MRI finally...Compression Fracture T-6 Thoracic. My KTM has been sitting a long time so I sold it. I also sold off my Blazer and paid off some bills. Bought a 1971 Scout 800B 4X4. I don't know which direction I will be taking in the Enduro world after my back gets better. Some ideas are Honda CRF 450X street legal? or a clean KTM 525 EXC, KTM 530 EXC 09 or newer. So here is the Scout for now. Its in the shop till Friday getting lifted, wheels and tires. http://s766.photobucket.com/user/schwinn01/library/Scout And here is the sold Blazer 1970 2WD.

Oracle 195 Posted October 30, 2013 I'm sure it was difficult to let the K5 go. But I'm sure the new owner will treasure it like you did. The Katoom can be replaced easy enough when you get better. In the mean time, enjoy the new toy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCHWINN 0 Posted November 12, 2013 We caught it early and they say curable. Full skeleton X-Rays, Blood and urine test almost daily. Biopsy in 2 places. Radiation treatment. No Doctors seem to care that I have a compression Fracture of the T-6 and I am riding a street bike to all these appointments. Pain sucks and on the bright side I lost 10 lbs...50 lbs more to go please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goofy Footer 539 Posted November 12, 2013 I'm pretty sure there is at least one woman in your past who has angrily called you a Stubborn Bastard - now is your chance to prove them right! My first surfing barrel happened on a board I shaped in my garage - on the bottom of the board in huge letters I drew F*** CANCER! (I have my reasons). I've had everybody from old people to surf groms stop to ask me what the board says, most of them are a little shocked by the vulgarity but nobody questions it.
