I'm pleased you're getting on with the HD, it's just great to be out biking! Great pics and I have to confess I have a soft spot for the Indian Tracker. I sat on one at the bike show a couple of years ago and it just felt right. Desperately impractical mind, but they look great.

I'm doing good, although a week in Menorca hasn't hurt. I'm just about to come to the end of my stage 2 rehabilitation this week so I'll be moving over to stage 3. The only downside is it is entirely during the day but I can work it around my lunch and just stay a bit later to make up for it. We've got a nice shower at work so I can get changed each way at work. Mondays are fine as I'm only doing 3 days a week since my little 'episode' last year.
Fingers crossed for your return, if it feels too much say so! Good luck

We have a few of the waistcoat wearing types around our way, usually on very noisy bikes!

I should have added I removed the incredibly restrictive airbox and fitted a Ramair filter kit. That alone is worth around 15hp!

I have to say I miss my former Rocket 3 Touring on sunny days and could make room for one. I have noticed the prices have firmed up a bit on them in the last year or so. Gratuitous picture of my former bike -
(you can't really see, but I'd converted it to a single pipe with a piece of car flexi pipe in lieu of the collector box hidden neatly under the original cover and a Harley Davidson Electraglide 'performance' silencer. It was a bit loud but added a LOT of HP by getting rid of both catholic converters & the highly restrictive collector box. A remap showed 138bhp at the rear wheel and the ability to wheelie in third and spin the rear wheel in the wet in top gear!)

The heartache...
I've tried the 'multibike' thing and just end up neglecting all of them bar the one I ride all the time. My mate's down to 15 at the moment (mostly Kawasaki triples) and his 'go to' bike is an old FZ750 Yamaha, the rest barely get moved apart from the odd kick into life and a trip around the block.

I have certainly piled a few pounds back on, there's some seriously large portion sizes on offer in Menorca! Not to mention the wine too... Diet starts tomorrow, back in the gym on Tuesday night, which will be difficult.

Sounds promising. They are a bit 'lumpy' compared to 4 cylinder bikes, I transitioned from a Varadero 1000 so it wasn't as much of a culture shock when I got my first 'strom. I remember one day I was out with my mate on his new (to him) FJR1300 Yam' and we swapped bikes. He was gobsmacked that just rolling the throttle off was like using the back brake on the FJR! I found the opposite and throttling off made virtually no difference, it just kept gliding along. Smooth, but a bit bland if I'm honest - he didn't keep it long either as he just got bored with it.

I agree, it's possible you could get a bit more but you probably just want it gone. I wouln't take a cheeky offer for it, far too good for that.
