    Took the 2008 VFR out for the first time since I crashed in December. Felt good.

    The bell is to ward off the Crashing Gremlins.

    Glad to see you're back on it.

    I've got a shamrock wristband I usually wear when I ride. If you look I've got it on my left wrist.

    It didn't keep the gravel gremlins away but at least I was able to walk away without a scratch!

    Glad you made it back. I can't wait to get back in the saddle. The sooner you get back on, the easier it is.

    I decide when I started riding that it's only a motorcycle and if I can walk away then it can't be that bad. No use in crying over a totaled bike.
