    Sorry to hear about your recent heart problems.
    If it helps at all, everybody I know who's had bypass has felt much better after the healing is done.
    Hope you're on the road next year. Must be getting cold to ride there now. It is here.
    Good luck!

    Get well

    Hate to hear about the recent problems Hook. I'm glad you got it straighened out and I hope you get to feeling better fast.
    Just think, when spring gets here you and the bike will have had your "high mileage" service done and you will be ready to go.
    Good Luck

    I wish you well Hook. A close friend of mine has had some major heart problems as well. He now has a pacemaker/defribulator mounted in his chest. It could be worse. Get better and get riding.

    Peace

    Alive is a good thing.

    you'll be on the bike in no time. a buddy of mine had a friend of his drop dead of a heart attack..at a relatively young age. He was concerned about his health, high stress job and genetics, he got checked out and to make a long story short wound up having quadruple bypass....this guy is active and displayed no strong symptoms..three months later he rode his bike to Sturgis..look after yourself and you'll be fine. I went through a bit of a scare myself and have lucked out so far. You put too much work into the bike to give it up now..all best wishes to you.
