              He took a break from the forums towards the end of the summer. Said he was spending too much time on the forums helping others with their stuff while neglecting his own. Wanted to do more riding and less typing.
              I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

                I've been away from XS11s for a while; found out Mom has cancer so I kind of lost interest in fuzting with my bikes. I survived a major heart attack last Monday and I made it to the ER in time to spend the better part of last week in a couple of hospitals getting two stents put in my heart.

                After waking up on the right side of the dirt again this morning I talked with my doctor and she says I'm going to live if I don't get more stupid than usual.
                So now I'm a definite non-smoker and riding a motorcycle while taking two different blood thinners is probably one of those "more stupid than usual" activities I'm supposed to avoid but will do anyway just because.

                I'm actually having a pretty good time being alive, I'm just moving a little slower but I think this is going to be fun!

                .
                Keep the smile, and just move/ride slowly Scott.
