tires on all ready. I have a nice tire changer here. Use it on the quads, bikes, cars, trucks etc and everyone elses bikes aroudn these parts. Thats how it is here also, they are slow....We are like you in that we don't get enough good riding weather so down for and extra week to me is to much... Glad you were at slow speeds when it went flat. See your good deed came back to you.
Those gallbladders can really hurt. I laid here for a week until I figured it was not going to go away, I" know, I'm a little slow...When I finally went to the hospital I was doubled over in pain, and loosing my lunch.... I was glad when they shot me up with morphine. They took it out thru a small incision so it went pretty easy. Down side was, I had another heart attack that same night and ended up being helicoptered to Hartford for a quad bypass. ON the bright side, I was in the right place at the right time for it to happen.
Just had another friend get the gallbladder out and he did very well. He was bouncing around like an antelope in short order.
These golden years are golden for the doctors for sure, not so sure about us though.
I miss your post around here but in surfing I see your keeping a few on their toes..... LOL
