Good Luck Laurie,

When you get right down to it, only you know you in both the physical and mental sense. Like you and Frank, I was involved in the little mishap 2 1/2 years ago. And similarly, my right leg was the casualty.

Last Spring Friar was a great help in mounting the Voyager kit on this speedmaster. I've ridden it maybe 300 miles. While it's good being back in the wind, the riding characterstics are counter-intuitive to being on 2 wheels. Counter steering isn't part of the program, it's more turning the bars through the corners, which takes more effort. I don't really know how the Voyager kit compares to a true 3 wheeled Trike, Tryke set up. With both I found you pretty much have to motor down the centre of the travel lane due to width. An advatage is you get to keep your feet on the pegs at a full stop. Cornering is about 15 mph slower versus 2 wheels. I've also pondered a sidecar set up. To do it again I may have searched for a BA/speedmaster sidecar rig. I saw some posted on ba.com 8-9 years ago.

Like you, my goal is to get back on 2 wheels. First order is to continue treadmill strength training and stretching (range of motion) exercises. The idea of laying a 2 wheeler on its side somewhere and being forced to sit on the curb crying like a baby doesn't fit my hardboiled red rock image. So jokes aside, the mental part is real, but in my opinion you can't let the past determine the future. Learn from it, make your best judgement and good luck
