Stopped by the painter yesterday to check in and give him some more money. I want to stay on track and on his good side.
Should be primed/sealed this week and color goes on next week.



If all goes well, I could have it back together by Thanksgiving!

 

I guess you had to sleep on it, going back to a 107. Lol
I don't blame you after having a 124 it would have been hard to go back. Looking forward to your post in the M8 section.

 

Oh good! I was trying to be nice, but didn't know how to tell you you it didn't look as nice as before. I'm excited for you. You about done healed up?

 

I think so.. looks as though my new 100% is somewhere near my old 85- 90%. 😂

I still have issues w/ the left wrist/hand and my right pinky finger is in constant discomfort.
Good enough to get this bike back together and get riding again though, so I’ll take what I can get.

How about you? Still going to PT, or did you get yourself strong enough to quit going?

 

Checked my front brake pads, looked good. At least 3mm and manual says replace at .4 mm, so good there. Rear is about 1mm but since it's such a PITA to get to, and will have the rear wheel off for the new tires, it's a no brainer. Rear tires is supposed to be here today, and front tomorrow.
Gonna ride to dealer and pick up rear pads this afternoon.

 

Still going to PT. My lower body is working again. My shoulder is still far from normal, but it's getting better with time and a lot of painful movement. Today, my back is absolutely killing me, and that seems to be about every other week. That's normal I'm told, at least for the time being. I'm starting to train a little and get back to my old habits and hitting the gym.

Glad you're doing better, sorry this happened in the first place.

 

Eagle lights gen 3 halo headlight and passing lamps. World of a difference from the factory halogens. Also did front and rear amber custom dynamics directionals, not shown in photos. A brisk 38° in upstate NY but for a few miles in. Nothing like changing things up just to be putting her away.

 

I don't know, maybe I can squeeze a few thousand more miles out of the old tire, lol. Sure looks like its gotta lot of life left in it to me....
Old and new side by side.

 

I wouldn't ride on that rear tire to the closest tire shop.

 

Same, bro.
Glad you're getting better too.

The real bitch of it for me is that I was only 3 weeks into a new job when this happened, and since I had not passed the 90 day probation period they let me go back in July.
Now I'm trying to find a job in what is quite possibly the worst job market in my lifetime, and it S U C K S.

I don't really have time for a job anyway, I have too much to do.
