Well, its official. Herniated disk, the one that causes sciatica. This is my third time, been happening about every 12 to 15 years. This time is by far the worst. If I deal with it on my own and just heal up, I could be risking permanent nerve damage. Facing long period of physical therapy. Only silver lining; my PT is kind of hot. First exercise she gave me has to be done every 1 to 2 hours for the next 6 days!
So... seriously considering selling my America in favor of something with a more sensible riding position. For now I'll finally be getting my '93 R100 RT (BMW airhead)roadworthy. Probably won't be riding anything for at least 6 or 8 weeks.
