hi, new here. 52 years young and down from a stroke that hit me 8/30/05 paralysed on left side and lucky to be alive I guess.recovering slowly and have bouts of depression and get very frustrated.
my main goal is to be back in the wind by next summer! sold bike, but plan on having a new one by then, hopefully.
have had to learn to eat,walk, talk all over again,so, i'm sure riding again is going to be quite a challange,but I WILL DO IT!!!! would love to make new friends from this site, ladies, dudes , everyone! Iam from southern Iowa

Biker52....work at it!! Never give up hope. I know..I've been there. Six weeks in a coma, six months in the hospital, and several years of rehab. I had to regain the muscle strength of every muscle in my body except my eyelids and lips. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Some of my muscles will never be as strong as they were before but hey...I'll accept that. Everyday that I wake up in my own bed and I can draw a breath I am thankful.

I got my mc endorsement in May and bought my first motorcycle then also. I never have felt such a feeling of accomplishment. Work??? OH hellyeah it is work. But every time I twist that throttle it makes all that work worthwhile.
In the future I will probably need to go trike but that is ok too.
I'll send you my email offsite and you can send me your p hone number...I'll call ya.
