Hello... again

Post by builderwill »

Was a member here once before all the changes. Didn't visit much afterwards until I saw it mentioned at the other place. Been lurking and like the atmoshpere much better. Think I'll stay awhile.

Some of you guys already know me but for those who don't I hail from St. Louis area been on my 08 FJR for about 3 years and and also ride a a '10 zx 14. Recouping from a bad wreck last April. All healed physically but the wife and I are still mending mentally and she has me on a pretty short leash tripwise. Hoping to be back to semi normal by next spring and take a trip or two. Maybe SE Ohio.

Look forward to spending more time over here.

Will

Welcome Will. Glad you're getting things back to normal....though I can venture a guess that it'll never be quit the same as it was before your get off. Hope to see you in Hooterville next year.

I know one of his brethren, Trooper Fenwick of the Colorado State Patrol. Met him during NAFO 2008.

I was on 89. Had just come through Logan Canyon and Bear lake and a short stint in Idaho.

Welcome Will, good to hear from you again. I dont get over to the other sandbox much anymore. I hope to get to ride with you again soon. Glad you've healed up physically, the mental part will prolly take a little longer.
Lifes to short, lets go for a ride!

Welcome, Will - Glad to see you wandering around here.

The mental side of this stuff can be the toughest part. I hope you can make it to SE Ohio in May.
