10 Years..

Ten years ago this evening, I hopped on my motorcycle to go get some gas. I went 2 blocks from our apartmanent and a truck pulled out in front of me. Here is my Vulcan 750 when it was new.

Here are pictures of it after the accident.

 
I ended up with a broken arm and a broken leg. I had to have surgery on both for pins and plates to be added. I weighted 305 pounds at the time..Here is a pic of me a few days after getting home in our spare bedroom.

I went down in 2004 to 190 pounds and I am now at 215. I was up to 226 during this past summer. So ten years and 90 pounds lighter.. This will be a battle for the rest of my life.. But I am willing to do it.. So far this year I have worked out 207 times.

WOW, that truly is what they mean when they say life changing event! Do you still ride a motorcycle? Awesome job on the workouts too.

I bought another motorcycle (Concours) and had it for a year. I made a deal with her that if I sold it we can get a tandem and start to ride.. I am planning on buying a motorcyle for my 50th birthday.. My daughter would be 16 years old then.

That's a good compromise. The tandem gets better mileage and is healthier...:)
