:) As a lot of the "Family" are aware, Brian_Mathewson, who is one of our...hmmmmm...Senior member's ;) ,  dropped his "V" in June of 2006 while out for a run with several other Vision owner's.
Brian sustained, apart from a few other things, quite a serious shoulder injury, which has required a lot of physio...and pain...to get it working again.
His Vision, well, that needed a near complete "new" front end and some cosmetic work... :o
I have just received this in an e-mail from Brian...

"I went on my first ride today, about 60km. Bike and shoulder working well! I had some initial problems with dirty carbs since I didn't get to put them away properly last year...it was about 3 months before I could drain them for the winter. A little CTC carb cleaner fixed that problem.The only remaining problems are the speedo and the headlight is a little crooked...I guess something else got bent. (accident was 6/20/2006...a little over a year). Feels good to be back on two wheels!!"

8) I'm sure you, like me, will ALL want to congratulate Brian on a successfull first ride since his mishap some 53 week's ago... :o 8) 8) 8) Well done and welcome back Brian... 8)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming HOOOOYA lets go again baby !!!!!!

If you have an accident on a motorcycle, it's always your fault. Tough call, but it has to be that way. You're in the right, and dead -on a bike. The principle is not to have any accident. If you're involved in an an accident, it's because you did not anticipate. Then, by default, you failed.

A 53 week layoff from riding...not good!
Thanks to all the Visionairies who provided parts, advice, and encouragement during my & my V's recovery.
