    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    Brave boy doing both at once tho the art has progressed. Good friend and a surgeon had his career cut short....one carpal tunnel fix was excellent ...the second not. One reason I only had one done but for sure 100% I'd recommend the procedure. In and out in an hour for one.

    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    I had surgery on my carpal tunnel on my left hand ( one reason I had switched to the Burgan 650 - no clutch ). It was successful and I was riding again quickly. Did not do the right hand tho recently some of the numbness has returned. Throttle lock helps and Grip Buddies ( not Grip Puppies )...

    MacDoc's rides 2015 CB300 to 2018 MT03 to 2017 GS310 to 2014 CB500F.

    Getting to be that time of year when I consider what else I would buy if my 2015 CB500F sells. :rolleyes: There has not been much available but this caught my eye 2006 Yamaha FZ6S Fazer - slightly lighter than my CB500F, same seat height and way more fun at the throttle with 100 HP to tap vs...

    Vendee Globe and other sailing around the world

    The same could be said of F1 and "spider" cars...very alien that could run on the ceiling. 🏎️ That said the divorcing of the crew from the viewing crowd in AC is a loss in my opinion......tho pre foiling 95% of the race was unavailable for viewing. :rolleyes: only the start was immediately...

    Vendee Globe and other sailing around the world

    Yet you missed the greatest breakthrough in sailing since the clipper ship. That 17 race event in San Francisco was akin to the moon landing as the contestants learned as they raced. What amazes me is it is transforming open ocean racing as well. Money well spent .....IMNSHO You may criticize...
