the way I see it, once you're cleared to drive a car and go back to the gym, then you should be good to go on the moto.
My advice:
Start with slow trips. Stick close to home. Progress to longer and longer trips with the more success you have. If it starts to wear on you, make the trips shorter.
You get 100 miles from home and your body "hits the wall" and you'll regret it.
Remember - if you aren't focused or your mind is pre-occupied, the last place you want to be is on the saddle of your scoot. So, pay attention to your body. Take breaks. Keep your protein up. Take Snacks. Lastly, stay hydrated.
I see you are in the far NE part of the state. I am in the far southeast. I don't get up there much although I did an Iron Butt ride in June and was in Clark's Summit. Are you a rider or just a passenger. My surgeon is concerned about the weight of the bike(lifting). I see you also ride a trike. I do have plans of riding Rt 6 sometime next year. Please contact me directly at [email protected]. I am sure we can get together somewhere.
What is your favorite destination in the State. Gettysburg is mine.
Thanks for the info
