Yeah. Yeah. I know. The last PodCast was a bit long winded. But it had been a long time and there was much to say. But you’ll like this movie – guaranteed. As such I suggest no fears, I’m on a mission to produce more content instead of long content. This is the start! Sucre […]
After my nap we went shopping for a new battery for my bike. After nine months of non-operation I was sure the battery was dead. But this task turned out to be more than a challenge than I expected. Motorcycle travelers in South America told me there’d be no problem finding a battery. In fact […]
There’s something about going back that wrenches my mind and my gastrointestinal system. I’d be foolish to think that all that was required was to simple show up in Bolivia, hop on my bike and continue the journey. It’s not that easy. And the mind plays tricks. First, 9 long months have passed. Sure, my […]
I posted a new PodCast yesterday. If you didn’t get the notice, check it out PodCast – October 14th 2006.
I’ve been exercising by climbing these 137 steps straight down to Swami’s surf beach in Encinitas, California As the days tick by I can’t help but feel loss and longing. Earlier this month I passed the break-even point. That is, I’ve been more days in recovery and at home than I did on the road […]
I’ve been a bit remiss in keeping the WorldRider site active over the last month. To be sure, I’ve been working hard on rehabilitating, doing a little bit of work and slowly pulling the details together to prepare for my eventual return to Bolivia where I will reunite with Doc (my motorcycle) and continue my […]
The Muddy Mess Starts. Cruising into Tica Tica Bolivia, 1/15/06. 5 minutes before accident I ventured to Newport Beach yesterday to visit legendary orthopedic specialist Warren Kramer. He focuses on knees and ligaments and has earned a reputation among motocross racers and pro surfers. In fact, seven time world champion surfer Kelly Slater has been […]
Met with Dr. Chang again this morning. We took new x-rays and he says the bones have healed up nicely. I completed 12 sessions of physical therapy and can almost walk (slowly) without a limp. Though I feel my ankle and maybe calf muscles are giving me more problems than where the breaks were. There […]
Today marks the 4th month since I landed back in the States and had surgery in Newport Beach. Four months! Where has all the time gone? It’s time to take this anniversary as a compelling reason to share quite a few updates. So hang on. The Leg. Having broken a number of bones in my […]
Just finished my ninth physical therapy session this morning. Suzie seems to consistently find new exercises for me. The reps are increasing and the timed durations are getting longer. I think my leg is getting stronger. I’m still walking with a limp. And neither of us like this. I’m putting off the MRI until I’ve […]
