three days to RAA WEST

Patrick,
NO! NO! NO!
Speedy made a bo-bo,
He is arriving Lewiston on Sunday, as are the rest of us.

FYI - We will be taking a break in Yakima at noon on Sunday.
Check your route and if interested let me know and I'll give you the location.
Steve
 

I still have my OEM Roadster pegs
Want me to bring them?
 
Amen to any thing that helps bro.
I just have Paracetamol and booze here, a great combo for my single large kidney and flabby liver to juggle.

I have been too afraid to go to bed for 4 days now after 2+ weeks of muscle spasms and associated flare up of long undiagnosed Ankrolysing Spondalosis, another genetic inflammatory condition and a possible contributor to yours too @Claviger

Ankylosing Spondylitis

These days they do a gene test for HLA-B27 and then confirm with x-rays of your feet, neck, sacroiliac joint and spine. A tell tale is erosion of the sacroiliac joint and fusion of vertebrae with cartilage discs disappearing entirely. Mine only came to light because of a related eye inflammation Uveitis, that occurred and caused one eye to go blind temporarily with massive associated pain a 2 years ago.

The pain when trying to get up after lying down is a real screamer and leaves me bent over 90 degrees holding a support for minutes until I stop shaking and steel myself for the agony of straightening up and moving, and that was a good time after I had figured out the best way to get to the edge of my bed.

I am now sleeping a few hours a night in my chair with hot water bottles (its been getting down to -6C lately, usually just after dawn) and will chase up my specialist next week.

OK, I shall remove them from the rails and stuff in a pannier.
They are ground down somewhat at the ends, but fully functional.
You will look racey, like a twisty monster!
