Back on the Road and the Forum

Post by The Mindless Philosopher »

Life has been a wild ride since late 2019 and even wilder since the "C-Bug" tried to kill me in July 2020. That, and a slew of nit-picky little Hoss repairs (mostly electrical) and two upgrades have kept me down for a good, long while. I finally got back on the road two weeks ago. The two upgrades are a modified frame cross-member (it is now a bolt-in unit instead of being permanently welded) and a new touring seat that fits into the arc behind the main fuel tank(s) instead of that big, square-nosed, saddle-type seat that sat on top of the tank. Oil seals were replaced, but it still leaks (honestly, not surprised, anymore). At least, I'm back on the road until the next round of repairs.

Welcome back and congratulations on your recovery. I look in from time to time but not much happens here these days which is a shame as I hate FB 👍
