Thinks it has been close to three years since I last rode my motorcycle. Knows it was at least a year before hip surgery replacement. I was afraid my hip/leg would not hold the bike at stops. That is very scarey. I have been scared to get on bike for fear of knocking replacement hip out of joint socket. About three weeks ago I struggled to get leg over and sit on the bike. I did accomplish getting on for a minute, but got right off. I have been thinking of selling the bike for a couple of years but husband was against the idea. So it has been sitting in the garage taking up space. Today I was helping chosen son finally take possession of his bike, which was also in the garage. He had it paid for it in full at least 10 years ago, to husband, who kept using the bike as collateral for loans for different reasons. Chosen son has less riding experience than me and was taking a while to get his bearings. So after some thinking I decided to ride it to his house. 1 it is titled in my name, 2 the insurance is in my name and 3 the plates were last active in 2019. If anyone should be pulled over it should be me. At first when I got on, my good hip started spasms (of course that was no fun). After a min or two they settled down and I took off. Oh the feeling of air and wind in my face was so incredibly joyous. I let loose on the gears and speed limit was 70, it was great. Putting the bike through it’s paces. Only one little bitty opps. At the end of the exit ramp before making my turn, I was trying to set the mirrors and didn’t get the bike in neutral and killed the engine. At least I was stopped. Restarted and all was good. Calling to have my bike serviced need to get on the schedule. …. Will see where this goes.
