Well shucks Andy. 6 weeks at hospital? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I bet all the nurses just loved you by the time they let you out.
Hope the convalescent helped. 6 weeks? Bet you hate daytime tv, hospital grub, and those hospital docs that pop in to see how you are and charge 3 bills for the pleasure. 6 weeks? Dang. that is about 41 days too long. 6 weeks? omg! Sure glad to read you are out of that place.

Sorry about the accident. I’m glad your’re on the mend and thinking about a new bike though.

Doctors and hospital made out good. Thankfully insurance was good. Miss bike.
Lakeland Triumph has a good selection of Triumphs,better than ocala. Wish there was a closer dealer.I

There was a dealer off John Young Parkway in Orlando if its still open, however that is a bit of a hike from Debary. My daughter lives in the area,use to live in Sanford now in Orlando. I see a few Triumphs whenever I visit the area. I'm glad you're recovered that whole area is bad traffic,I4 is nuts around rushhour.

Plan to purchase a new Speedy. Good for you. Don't let 6 weeks in the hospital stop you from getting back on the ride.

The dealer off John Young is owned by BMW dealer in Daytona.They got rid of Triumph in both places. If I didn't like the bikes so well,Indian or motorcycle would be my pick.

Sorry to hear of your accident.I hope you are ok now.Yes the new speedmaster is a good choice I reckon.I still haven't totally given up on the idea of buying one.I have just bought a 650 Kawasaki Vulcan in Thailand which is a good bike for here.

Ouch! Six weeks really puts my six days in a proper perspective. The nurses told me to plan on nine days recovery for every day in but I think maybe they were being a tad pessimistic. All the same it seems better to follow their advice and insure complete healing. Get well.
