Hello everyone it's been quite a while since I was here. I was in an accident a few years ago and wound up in a coma for about a year and a half. After plenty of PT and help from family and friends I am almost 100% I have tried to get back into the hobby and am ready to get started on a new build. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions as my memory is a bit hazy at times I hope it won't be a issue. I am now living in Anderson, SC. So if anyone is nearby and would like to meet up let's make it happen.
Curious about Owners/ Builder's

A year & a half in a coma sounds pretty crazy!!! (are you really sure you want to get back on a bike again)?!?!?
Definitely. I'm bored sitting in the house and I truly enjoyed it for a long time so I'm ready to get back at it.
Had the coma experience when I was 5 yo. Ate bad mayonnaise and caught salmonella poisoning. It put me a coma for 6 months. To this day I won't eat anything with mayonnaise in it.
I haven't rode for a year now. I had lower back issues and got surgery in January of this year. I plan to ride again soon. I'm also from SC originally but live in Tennessee now.
I wish you well in your recovery and on doing a build.

It sounds like you haven’t ridden for a while too. It’s extremely dangerous on the streets now. I’ve had my motorcycle license 20 years by now. The beginning and middle of Covid was the best time to ride. I’d just finished a lengthy ebike build in the beginning when the streets were completely empty and it was great! But something happened to the drivers as they returned to work after Covid. They got dumber, less alert, blind, and in 2023 they became VERY rude. I stopped riding last year and have continued to see the stupidity and rudeness of other drivers in my cage. Don’t ride on public streets now.. they’ll be less rude when the economic situation improves and less stupid as self-driving cars get better with their algorithms in coming years. I’d give it 5-10 years to return to public roads and only ride when people aren’t hurting financially as much (watch gas prices).
Yeah, traffic city riding sucks, lucky for me I don't have to contend with that on my M/B
Hopefully you live in an area of SC where there's not much traffic with beautiful country roads .
Have fun
I'm out in Anderson, Right next to Lake Hartwell. The lake that separates S. Carolina and Georgia. There are plenty of quiet country roads that have little traffic.
Dag do you ever go to the Jockey Lot? We go went we are at the lake, we have family with a house on the Georgia side.
I haven't been to a J.L. in age's. I'm on the other side of Lake Hartwell. My Girl actually works in Hartwell Ga.
