New part-time lurker

[trooper113]

Howdy. I think most of y'all know me from VTF and a couple other places. While not a Doof, I was invited to come by and hang out a bit. I hope y'all enjoy your new Basement.

Hey, Troop. Welcome.

[Fireberry]

Dee, you know you are always welcome here. Now on the not a Doof part, next time you and Mama come by the shop I will ask her if that is a true statement of not!

[TerryMiller]

It's a little airy. Perhaps we'll get the mildew smell goin' soon.

I should have said, "not an official Doof". You're right....Da Boss might well use that title.

Hey, FDS....how goes your school?

T113

Not bad, not bad at all. Class starts @ 0600 - we're out @ 1500.

Kind of rank heavy, we even have a Chief Master Sergeant (E-9) with us, it adds some insight, that's for sure.

[KICKER]

Trooper how you doin'?

[71baldboy]

Welcome to wonderland Troop!

[trooper113]

Doin' good....except for a couple of partially blown out spinal discs, but treatment starts soon.

How you?

Welcome to wonderland Troop!


Is the oil OK in your FLHTCU now Troop?

Also do you have any coupon's that you have not used yet? Maybe I can turn them in and hold your stuff till we see each other again.

I think I used all the coupons that I wanted to.....thanks. I appreciate you asking just as I appreciate your courtesy and hard work during "the deal".

Oil's fine now after I drained about 6 oz. At 1/2 full on the stick when cold (3/4 hot) it operates perfectly....no puking. I appreciate you and Dane taking care of me on that problem.

My bike really is great.....got about 2,400 miles on it now. PCIII and mods cured the '07 "problems". Runs pretty strong (will have it dynoed), sounds good, no popping, runs reasonably cool, what little 5th gear whine it had is gone (Amsoil gear lube), mileage is better. I get a lot of compliments on it....especially on the color and how good it looks with blackwalls and my 9", tinted, flat-top windshield. I also installed the George Anderson tour-pak relocater.....great product!

You da man!

man troop sorry to hear about the discs. that sucks, went through a surgery for one blown disc a few years ago. Mine blew out bad enough that therapy etc. was no useless to me. Got lucky and got into a trial on a disc replacement implant. Wish everyone with back problems could have the luck I've had with mine. If it ever gets bad enough check with a place called Texas Back Institute. They have offices in
• Denton
• Fort Worth
• Garland
• Greenville
• Plano
• Phoenix, AZ
• Trophy Club

don't remember exactly where your located in TX but if you ever need invasive type treatment I would travel to get it done by them. I did travel myself back and forth from Amarillo to Plano many times and don't regret it at all now.

ok just saw your near Austin so would be a ways to travel for you as well. but still worth the travel if you have to IMHO

Thanks for the info....I'll look into it further if the injections don't help. I had L4-L5 fusion about three years ago....now L5-S1 and L3-L4 are the culprits. I REALLY don't want another fusion.

[trmn8r]

here's a website with some info about the implant I got. clicky (http://www.spine-health.com/research/discupdate/prodisc/approval01.html)
it looks like its approved now, not in trials anymore but only for implant on 1 level not 2 discs at one time. That type of surgery might still be in trials or something. Definately better than fusion... instead of losing mobility I gained mobility I had lost 14 years earlier. good luck with it I know back pain sucks BAD

[chickenman]

Just got here myself troop. Been out of touch a couple days but GLAD to see ya here.

[trooper113]
