Good news Robert! The feeling does come back! and now a story for a snowy day.... Destructing some shipping/shoreing materials, I nearly choped off my R. index finger last year (fortunately, I am an under achiever) It was a 180 degree cut; I was dumbfounded that my finger was not laying on the ground.... It seriously required more than a butterfly bandage; I was actually suprised I was not transported to the next higer trauma center. shrug. --my ER doc said, "You will regain feeling below the cut, about 1mm/month." It will be two years in May; feeling is returning, pretty much on schedule. So you may ask, Why is this KLR content? Timing or bad timing is everything; I missed a 4 day ride in the Blackk Hills with Jeff S and AJ "Reaps" of Aberdeen. My timing was horrible (the day before the ride). alligator tears to follow. They had fun and I was greatful to be numbered among the 'under achievers'. revmaaatin.

Now, now, I have seen Criswell's bike naked, and I KNOW for sure, It definitly is no snark. Can't say that about the (rear)tires. they definitly are snarky. revmaaatin. who probably should go look up the work snark.

SNIP, Now that IS Funny. I guess it depends on your 'business' if you ever seen a rider in need of a first aid kit. shrug. I have(sadly) seen several that needed a first aid kit, one on steroids. My (previous/future) first aid kit has 4 blades, 813 shp and responds at 140Kts. Avg cost/use: $8K The last scene I was at, I was not the pilot, just a guy passing by on a motorcycle; the first responder did not have sense to pour pi$$ out of a boot. Neither did the rider. and so it goes. revmaaatin.
