Well sometime in August I am going to be putting the XB back together! I have all the parts now and Lafayette has volunteered some time to come help. I am also going to be trading my exhaust for a Force system from a friend at work. Anyone else want to join in? I will supply drinks and lunch if you want to come over and help out. Hopefully by the end of August I'll be ready to ride again! I don't think Sammie will ever be ready, but it's just something that I "have" to do.
Nick

Excellent news ;).

You'll need a PCIII for the Force exhaust.

Thanks guys...
Don.. I am going to go with the stocker for just a while. Then if I keep the XB I'll go all out.

Hey Rich... Tell the Vegas crowd I said hello and that I am at least back on two feet now! I hear it's been tooo hot to do much riding out there so far.

Vegas, I'm so glad to hear you're getting back on a bike!

Make sure the force is the second generation or it'll break on you if history is any guide.

Be sure to give a full accounting of your first time back on 2 wheels.
Mine was an almost religious experience.

Dana: it's good to hear people still wonder. LOL I am doing better all the time.

Brian: How can I tell which pipe it is? He has been running it for a while with no issues.
I'll be sure to write a big story for sure. I have mixed emotions about that first ride. I have noticed that I am way more gun shy that I used to be even in the car.

Congrats Will! Looks like all that college stuff worked out after all.

I'll need a new addy to send a "present".;)

Now back to your regularly scheduled conversation.

Hey Nick! That's great news! I wish I were closer as I would be there for sure. I also was wondering how things were going for you after I did a search and read one of yours posts from a while back. Glad to hear you are doing well. Take care, Odie.

Nick, I'll help if I can. Let me know when you get the date nailed down. I, also, have the VDSTS software, cable and a laptop if needed.

Nick, it's great to hear the good news. When you get a few spare minutes, could you post a fairly comprehensive post about how your recovery is coming along? From what I infer, it seems that you're driving again. That's incredible progress! Are you walking with a cane still? How are you feeling? What still doesn't work like it should? You know, all the questions that Inquiring Minds (and Nosy Bastards) want to know.
