While I have riden all my life, we don't really have to talk about just how long that is, I picked up a 2017 Freewheeler a few months back. Purchased it one day, rode it home, and before I could ride it again, I broke my left leg. Sometimes life has a truely warped sense of humor. So I am just getting the nod from the doctors to get mobile (weight bearing) and ride again! Can't wait to get a little more confidence that the leg will hold after 15" of surgical steel drilled into the middle of my Tibia, 4 screws, and 4 months on my butt. For those that are wondering, no vehicles were involved in the breaking.

Enough cryin..... I'm outside Spartanburg SC where my wife and I share our #1 pastime, riding. She rides her Heritage most of the time since telling me she was tired of looking at the back of my helmet riding on the back of whatever my ride of choice is/was. Most recently a Goldwing 1800 that I traded for the Freewheeler after 12 years of bliss with it. Health has dictated tht I add another wheel or give up riding and by now you've guessed which one I chose.
 
Hi David....welcome to Trike’talk from west Texas. Glad to see you are back in the wind.

I know your pain. A similar thing happened to me when I purchased a brand-new 2009 Kawasaki Nomad 1700. Had put about 350 miles on it when I tripped on a curb and broke the middle finger of my left hand.... yes, the digit that can relate a negative message to the world. I couldn’t use the clutch. So, there the bike sat for about 4 months. Ironically, I was just getting back on it when I had the unexpected opportunity to sell the bike, so I did. It was a little heavy for me with a tender, healing finger to deal with. Sure was a nice bike.

Wishing you many miles of smiles! :)
