Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
I'm almost 2 weeks into my recovery from a total hip replacement. Fortunately the other hip is not giving me any pain and range of motion issues are not bad, though the doc tells me it's really just a matter of time.
The pain had gotten so bad that I couldn't manage more than 150 miles or so before the pain really started to wear on me. The next hundred (which is usually what I had to ride to get home) was usually pretty excruciating.
The reality of my arthritis is really what has been driving me to consider a Goldwing/F6B. Time was I dismissed the idea as ridiculous, but the fact is that I will ride whatever lets me do 500+ miles in the saddle in comfort. The fact that the F6B is a total looker is a big plus.
