The My Vibe Thread

[Southieinnc]

I motorcycles and look at them every time I get an opportunity.

Problem for me is severe Neuropathy in both legs. I have no nerves left below the knees. Shift is my biggest problem. Without back pressure I can't sense anything. I can sense the pressure on an accelerator or brake in a car or truck. Just can't sense anything trying to shift on a Harley or anything else. The wife says it's a God send. I say it's God's punishment for all of my bad boy days.

I can still visualize the motocross courses I frequented in perfect 3d in detail. My muscle memory is still there. My brain tells me I can still do it!
I can’t afford to fall off. I might not ever get back up. I used to bounce off the dirt at high speed , now I’m so busted up from years of abuse.

Ignore the pain and possible paralysis and get back on!

My brother in law always had a bike. After he broke his back, he switched to $38,000 Harley trike. Now he's in an electric wheelchair and sold the trike. My sister had a soft tail and gave it up last year. She retired as an xray tech last year and told me that driving thirty five miles to work and then home was the best part of her job. Until she had to drive the 4X Jeep in the winter. Their last long ride was to Sturgis from Windam, Maine. That ended his time in a seat.

I'm still looking at motorcycles.
Just had knee replacement surgery and 2 back surgeries.
Need hip replacement surgery.
I'm an idiot!

My wife asked me to get a motorcycle, say's she wants me out the house more, and thinks I need friends. I looked at a Honda and while I am interested a ZERO TURN mower is a more practical purchase

Ever had an eye injection????

I had one of the first ever back in 2012. It was with a drug called Avastin. It had been used to kill tumor in the colon by shutting off the blood supply by shrinking the blood vessels. Here we are in 2024 and Avastin has never been FDA approved for retinal treatment. I'm a diabetic and the eye has started building blood vessels because of the lack of blood supply to my retina in the right eye. These blood vessel tend to burst after any given time and fill the eyeball with blood. Hence the reason why diabetic so often go blind.

Anyway, I got an injection today with a new approved drug. Problem is that it could wear off in as little as three months. Avastin lasted 12 years but the FDA for some reason won't approve it so the VA won't allow their Ophthalmologists to inject it. Now I have to try to find out why something that worked so well hasn't been given approval. Not like insulin, can't inject it yourself...

A guy walks into a bar and grill and sits down at the bar.
He sees a sign that says: hamburger $2.50,
Cheeseburger $3.50 , hand job $10
He sees 3 pretty girls serving drinks and summons one over.
He asks quietly, are you the one who gives a hand job?
She smiles sweetly and says yes.
He says , “wash your hands, I want a cheeseburger!”

I've been here long enough to know THAT guy ain't a member of THIS board.

They say self awareness is a very good trait.

I'm not immune to being another "self aware" idiot. I get new bike shoes that are called clipless - even though they clip in. I got them figured out. First I unclip with the right and use that to land my foot when I need to stop. But what happens when you lose balance? TIMBER to the left, and falling into traffic..... Okay, the left foot is a better choice so you can't fall into traffic. So now I take my left foot out and fall to the right... but fortunately I have a nice soft marble curb to land my hip on.

Moral of the story, clip out both at every stop. But why did I need to fall four times to figure that out?

I had clipless shoes and rode my mountain bike through very technical areas.
I was 1 block from my home in Okinawa when I rode through a very slow and technical spot and fell over.
It was like a "laugh-in" shot. I landed on a curb on my collarbone. Xrays were negative but that hurt like a bitch

• The Singing Purple Headphones Woman (Allegra)
• Gillette Labs Father And Son (Gillette)

I can’t even deny that. If they are under 200lbs they are too skinny.

READ THIS CAREFULLY.

I have been given an opportunity. Would you take a shot????

I have to go to Walmart and purchase $2000 in Walmart Gift Cards.

I will then mail them to a man who says that I ll then receive

$200,000 In cash, via FedEx tomorrow.

A friend of mine sent this guy $1000 and got back $100,000. He sent me pictures of the money on his bed.

I can send this guy up to $7000 and get $700,000 in cash tomorrow.

My brain is telling me not to be stupid and give away $2000. But my friend, whom I've know all of my life, would never bullshit me.

THOUGHTS???????????????????????????
