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

I am just about to go to bed, and back in work at 3PM today.
Not sure how I feel about it.. I feel good but I know when I get up and about doing stuff like working on the bike I am Éclaired soon after. So I kinda expect to be quite tired.
1 day in, day off, 1 day in, day off, 2 days in, 2 days off. So an easy start as I requested. I was down for 2 days in, 1 off then 4 in a row
I said to my boss, yeah thats a no go. I might be ok.. but i might get 4 hours into my first shift and be looking for my bed! 
Wish me luck.

For a few years myself and my wife used to join in on the Stevenage bike clubs Easter egg run (delivering Easter eggs to various shelters from domestic violence and children’s hospice ). one of the riders had a Rocket 3 with straight through exhausts even though there were probably 50 bikes you could hear his bike 🤣🤣. Even though it was only Easter all he’d wear was a leather waste coat 👊

« Last post by NorthumBryan on May 05, 2024, 06:14:46 PM »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!)
