doldrums away!

[Steve Northrop]

Glad you're healing up Chuck. The three events I remember when getting 
better were my first sex, my first beer, and my first ride. Eventhough you 
were a little wary, I'll bet it still felt good. Since I'm one "at your 
age", My Doc said the same thing about the torn MCL in my left knee. He said 
it would get a little better all by itself and then it was what it was. Had 
to go for an MRI Monday because of a pain from my back that goes down my 
right leg and makes it give out. Took a tumble down half a flight of stairs 
because of it and we can't be doing that! I know it's late in the season but 
let's keep our guard up guys. No asphalt surfing!

The clutch will come back after some regular use. The bike being on it's 
side won't affect it at all.
