Yup....
Mrs Neurologist today says 12 more months off riding/driving on the road :(
So I will still only be chief mechanic/cleaner/part-owner of the V11 but herladyship is still chief rider/racer/hoon.
At least I can still ride the XR (well I didn't tell doc that though..) off-road.
The real pain of this is that I won't be able to go to the Rattley Tappets Guzzi rally at Labour Weekend.
So if someone wants to go to this, PM me as the V11 may be available.

Sorry to hear that Chris, but hopefully it's not forever.
At least Bridget's enjoying the bike and treating it right.
Hang in there - make the most of the XR.

Yeah, I was hoping she'd say, "you're fine, have your licence back"...but...
the XR's there for sure. I guess it ain't the end of the world, just was a big disappointment for me today.

Yup. Health problems are a bitch.
But hurting someone else because you ignored doctors advice is worse. :mellow:
I have to keep my Hba1c's (long-term blood sugar levels) within a good ratio or the doctor will remove my licence.
A good incentive to look after myself I reckon.

For sure.
And here I was with a thread saying how the XR250 riding was cool and my licence retention was going to be good only a fews hours earlier, but I guess, Doc knows best.
Also, I could not live with myself if I hurt someone while not in full control of my neuros.
At least my Baby gets some use,....err...I mean the Guzzi.

Not good news Chris, sorry to hear about it. I was hoping to hear good news from you sometime soon with regards to getting your licence back... but unfortunately not to be. Ah well, it's for the best I guess. Still sucks though :mellow:

The poor freakin Guzzi, at least you get to apply polish, almost as enjoyable task as riden.
I gave my babe a shine tonight. Soooooo goourd!!!!:yes:
All the best in the interim. A guy at work had a similer thing and had to wait 24mths. Hopefully the 12 will stick for ya.
I have been told about the tappet rally, do you have any details on this one?
Yup....

You mean if I left my bike at your place, I could turn up at a guzzi rally for a change on a Guzzi. I wouldn't disappoint Rocky if that happend would I ?

So guttered for you NM'z, at least I got the chance to buy an awesome bike because of this :) All the best Chris, life can suck at times, its how you handle it and how you come out the other side that counts.
If your ever up these ways the RF is sitting waiting for you..

Gutted to hear that - you could throw yourself into learning Italian pronunciation in the meantime though.
She'll be all the more of a sweet ride when your time is up - the V11 that is:yes: Keep up the spirits & enjoy the dirt & time will fly by, besides there is always next years rattley tappet - might be having real Summers by then - with global warming & all that.

Sorry to hear the news Chris,the offer is still there to be my "Pit Bitch" over the winter,just to keep your hand in,of course!!

Yeah that would be cool. It's been a while since I've been involved in racing.

Bugger! Looks as if you'll be restricted to polishing and such like over the winter.
Not sure about the 'pit bitch' offer. Sounds a bit dodgy.
