motorcycles.

Anybody here ride a motorcycle? Im curious to know how long after surgery did you get to ride again? Basically Im just bored. Cabin fever is getting to me, and Im getting to my wife.

I drove boat at show-ski nationals after 5 days.  The  incisions aren't the problem, its the anesthesia. I would suggest you wait for 8 or 9 days so all the drugs are out of your system.  Wouldn't want to fall asleep driving a bike.

1 month after surgery I learned how to ride a month after that I bought a cruiser.

IS that a VTX? 1300 or 1800? I got an VTX1800R. first bike. had it 3 years.

I drove to the store about 4 days after surgery and was all over the road. I got home and stayed put for a few more days. I agree with the 8-9 day theory.

eh its gonna be longer than that for me. went out to start it yesterday, and the old battery is finally done. But good to know that it wont be long.

You could sit on it and make motor noises,...cheaper than buying a battery and the family will leave you alone.  Talk about you, but leave you alone.  And if you buy a battery, that no lifting thing is longer than the no driving thing.  May I suggest a sugar-free popsicle and a DVD? 

the vroom vroom noises did the trick. Went for Pudding and some video games.

I went riding 5 day post op. I had been out walking and thought a coulple of laps around the neighborhood would be a good way to cool down. i also wanted to see if riding was going to be painful. Well it wasnt painful at all and my trip around the neighborhood turned into a 20 mile ride down the interstate. It really felt good.

BTW TC316...I have  a VTX 1300 R.
