I’m thrilled that you were so inspired! I hope it was every bit as great for you as it was for us!
Very deep video sir. At 73 years old these thoughts happen, then I shake them off, get on the motorcycle and get better. Be you Bro. That is all that matters, ,,, Bob

Me too, my friend! I can only imagine the saga that has been his life these past three or four years.
Very true, we're here and then we're not. The side benefit of this platform is that the contact keeps things real.

Sometimes I don't think we appreciate our health until we lose it. Take care.

Thats a fact... I was a super man til I broke my back at 60 years old... they did some nerve damage during surgery so now I have internal issues . Enjoy while you can
Truer words have not been spoken. We all should look at what we're doing with our time and enjoy it. Improving someone's well-being, however that may be, is always a worthy goal. You never know how your presence will impact others, so best to make the most of it, right? I know YOU have added to my experience, so thanks for that! That, and the shout-out :D The narcissist in me always likes hearing my channel name in someone else's video :D

Latin for spyder and glider 😂 need to come up with something less dramatic lol younlook good leaning into them corners. As for life, less thinking about it and more living it, is my strategy. Keeps me young and flexible 😂 Ride safe, neighbor 🤙

Hi Mike, did you get a different helmut? Is it cooler in warm weather, other than a black helmut?

That’s exactly it! Black is for winter. White is for summer.
I don't get a shout out anymore 😕 Hope you get it figured out and solved, whatever's causing that. Sounds distressing.

@@maikeli7 I'm just pokin' atcha brother. It's not something I crave. In the old days, before the fall, you used to call me out. Those were the days when you blogged a lot, from when you test drove the Goldwing until you got laid up. Do you think it might be something you're ingesting that's triggering these allergic episodes?

@@elgringoec Doc had me discontinue whatever I ingested within a 10-hour window. Still got it. Everything was ruled out: food, liquids, drugs. I have idiopathic anaphylaxis, says the doc. He’s put me on cetirizine, famotidine, and allegra to keep me from going into it again. If it still happens, he’ll put me on Xolair.

@@maikeli7 Well that's the modern solution, more and more pharmaceuticals! Okay, I'm obviously being sarcastic. Though I definitely feel like the medical industrial complex is bent more towards revenue generation than improving overall health. That said, something's causing it, and not your mind bringing it about.
Hello brutha !!! Sorry to hear about the anaphylaxis attack again. I hope your doctor can figure it out. 💗🫶🫂🙏
