It's been roughly 10 years since I was last on this forum. Just started riding again this year. Failing eyesight kept me off the bike for a number of years. I finally gave in and did the cataract surgery - marvelous difference. Still need glasses, but much less correction. 18 months after my eye surgery, they found an abdominal cancer; They did the surgery and three chemo's over a 3 month period. There has been no recurrence so far and I'm heading into my 4th post op year.
Still have the XX and the CBR1000; just recently gave away the 1983 550 Nighthawk. (It now has a home in Montana)
Also, since I was last on I have become a great-grandmother. "Little Robbie" (who is now 6ft 4 in) had a son 2 years ago. My daughter (his Mom) Denise and I just dote on him.
Needless to say, haven't been on any long trips recently - getting back in shape physically - slow process when you get older:lol:.
How are you all doing - don't know if any of the people are on after 10 years

Welcome back !!

Yeah still a few 'old' faces here (including mine!) glad you're back on the Blackbird again.

My Blackbird (and me!) have just been resurrected, its nice to get back on the bike knowing you can ride it again so I'm sure you'll have great fun.

I notice you're in Vancouver, we're heading over your way in June for a nice tour beginning there and heading inland on a big loop, only problem is they are giving me a Harley, ah well, cant win em all !!

:yo:
