I'm so glad you pulled through Dana; really a life changing event I could imagine... There's always a silver, if not gold lining; all the best

Thank you for all of the kind sentiments guys. It means so much to me.

The funniest part of all this is that, when I first saw the bike, my overwhelming desire was to jump on it and ride, ride, ride!

But my wife has earned the right to veto my bike riding indefinitely.

It's not like you have any shortage of other fun toys to play with...

I still think you deserve a Scud in your garage one of these days...

I actually think I like the Italia even better than the Scud now.

Cant imagine how that felt for you to see that bike. I'd fix it and keep it Dana. That bike created a fork in the road for you. Gratefully you are doing well, and only getting better.

My hat's off to you pal.

Thanks for sharing this with us Dana. Im sure it was a very emotional moment for sure. We are glad to be here with you as much as you are with us Dana.

I say fix it up, and tuck her away in the corner and maybe eventually you can take her to the store, around the block ect. I look forward to getting a chance to meet you in person one of these days Dana, your a truly inspirational guy!

There's nothing that says you can't fix her up and bring her inside as art. She is a Duc after all.

D, I will post this publicly since you are in recovery now.
If you ever get on a bike again (One that has a motor, yes even a scooter) I will fly to Cali and kick your arse, yep I will
