12 yrs. ago I was Visiting my sick wife...caught MRSA through a contact of some type. I was born with a vascular birth defect, so MRSA attacked it hard....almost killed me. I was in a 3-day coma before I got sent to a burn center at another hospital...spent 7 weeks there while they amputated 1/3rd of my right foot, all the toe tips on my left foot, & 4 fingertips on my LH. Racked up over a million $$ in bills...which I never saw, as the hospital that I caught MRSA in paid for EVERYthing including my prosthetic arm & hook. Still feel quite blessed to be here & owe it all to God's grace. Really liking to still be able to ride my Ebike. Skiing will be attempted next season after I dial in my equipment.

I can absolutely relate to that @Nute I've seen the inside of hospitals enough for 3 lifetimes...I get the eeby-jeeby's just being a visitor in them. I remember those on my feet back when they amputated my toes...recognized them straight away. I had that same mentality regarding the Bike & Skis....Just don't try to recover too quickly my friend....it sometimes can come back & bite you in the ass. Speedy recovery mate....I'll be praying for ya...

Welcome aboard @Gordon....right off the bat, like you already as that's my Dad's name...lol My oldest grandson had the Ninja 400...loved it--even did a trackday with it. He eventually sold it on....now rides my old XT 600 SuMo...couldn't be happier. I did a stint at a bike shop awhile back & had the opportunity to turn a few spanners on ZX6's...nice bikes, but the ergo's will eventually take a toll on your body. Pretty, Fast bikes are 1 thing, but there a fair amount of Ergo-correct options out there that will make for quite a load of happy 2-wheel miles. It'll be great to see what you end up with....
