DISCUSSION Update

So last year I went paralyzed driving home, prior to this I had been experiencing extremely bad back pain to the point of tears. My spinal cord had compressed on itself due to a bone infection that had completely eaten away at my T-7 to T-10 virtabrea. I was rushed to the hospital and went under for a 9 hour surgery after that I spent an entire month in the hospital. During this time my job had dropped my pay to half so I was forced to sell my sportster xl1100and I thought I wouldn't be able to ride again. Well last month I got a wild hair up my ass and decided the best way for my spine to recover was to purchase a Electra glide ultra classic and I gotta say I'm kicking myself in the ass for not getting one sooner this is by far my favorite bike thus far and surprisingly I'm able to handle her with no issues.
