WOW

Sorry to hear about your accident, I wish you and the wife a speedy recovery keep us posted on your condition.

Just because your not able to ride don't mean you cant participate here while your recovering, don't be a stranger...

Oddly enough the hospital has high speed dsl so It's actuallybetter. Well so to speak

Jim

All the best to you and your wife,quick recovery, from Downunder...Baz

well I am finally back on here. I am still not walking. Well that's not quite true, I am walking with crutches. I wound up with a total hip replacement. So I am unable to put weight on the left leg for five more weeks. The left foot no longer works, so now I have to get a heel\toe shifter on any bikes I hope to ride in the future. I am now 31 with a titanium hip, crutches and my own walker. Just what I always wanted. I was unable to get on here the last few months, because I was staying with my folks and could not get to a computer. This has been the worst summer ever. I know I am rambling but i have to complain somewhere. Well I have much more that went on, I can say this, to those of you who don't believe in guardian angels, I can tell you my wife would not be here with out hers. She is only alive today because someone misdialed a call, and saved her life. That's someone looking out for you.

Sorry to see your still laid up but I am happy to hear your back home and are getting around.

Keep your chin up!!! The guy upstairs seems to have taken a likng to ya'll!!! I hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

Well I may be going to Indiana this weekend to pick up a Fl350. It's for the wife, we have gotten closer over the last few months, so I told her I would buy this one for her to ride with me. I figure if I get her in on my hobbies she won't be bothered by them. It's a system that works for a friend of mine, so I will give it a try.

well if this year didn't suck enough, two days ago my better half was burning some boxes and caught the leaves of fire burning down my 12x16 shed, with a bunch of fl250 parts, spare tires and two new front tires for her fl350. Along with the snowblower and lawnmowers. My grandmothers antique organ was in there and all my Grandfathers deer antlers. What a mess. Well it does free up some space in the yard. Well I hope you guys are well.

Jim

Well I got the motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) for the fl250 back together. Hoping to get it back in this week. I now have all the parts to rebuild the master cylinder on the fl350. Any advice on that?

Jim

Post this in the Tech section too, you might get more responses

Glad to hear that you were ok, sounds like it could have been alot worse. I rebuilt my 350s master cylinder and did not even use fresh seals or anything. Only thing I didnt have that I needed was a snap ring tool. It was full of dirt and the pistons were stuck. I just cleaned mine out really well and it seems to be working just fine.

I tried that, it didn't work. So now I am rebuilding it completely.

Well, I returned to work on Monday, after being off for almost two years. So on Wednesday, my good buddy decided he wanted to take his new to him four wheeler for a ride. So he calls me up and comes over for a trail ride behind the homestead. Went for a long ride, still have some deep snow in the woods behind my place, long story short, my four wheeler went sideways and flipped. BREAKING MY DAMN LEG AGAIN! So now I am off work after only three days. I am so depressed I could kill someone. (not myself though, I love me!) Oh well, hopefully this will only be a few weeks. Just wanted to share my venting with everyone.

Jim

Exactly why I like my roll cage!!!

Oh that just sucks. Speedy recovery to you.

that's funny turbo, MY wife's exact words were, "don't you have a dune buggy with a roll cage out there?" Your post made my day, i don't know why I thought it was so funny but I did. Maybe it's the drugs?

Jim

Hopefully the laugh will speed your recovery...

I am self employed and I fell off my son's dirt bike and sprained my left ankle... Which I need to depress the clutch on my Big Truck so I had to spend 3-4 weeks on the couch feeling pretty foolish...

Ouch!!! Self employed also means no money coming in. I feel for you. I am lucky enough that the auto insurance decided, thank to my Doctor, that the original accident contributed to this break, so I am still getting paid. I have a feeling corporate lawyers will get involved and there will be a fight.
