Bales near Mount Brown

This past fall near Whitlash, Montana.  

Beyond the fresh new bales is Mount Brown which rises to just a touch under seven thousand feet above sea level.

Liberal School 1906

About a mile from Liberal Church which is a bit southeast of Mirror, Alberta. Now it is an occasional community hall. Nothing but farms in the area.

So I bought this . . .

 2019 Can Am 600cc Ryker. It is in fantastic condition.

When I was in the hospital last year I dreamed of road trips and riding my motorcycles again. About two weeks ago I went to visit my friend on his acreage where he has my bikes stored. I sat on my bike with my feet planted on the ground and really wanted to believe I could ride one of them this year. I had to tell myself that likely was not going to happen.

I still get around on crutches. I cannot take any unassisted steps yet. I am now using the leg press in physiotherapy and I believe the legs are getting stronger. I do not think the legs will be strong enough to be on two wheels this summer. Or possibly next summer. Three wheels are pretty damn stable though and easier than two wheels.

This is incentive for me. I am working towards riding this in August. In the meantime I need to work on some flexibility and being able to swing my damaged leg over the seat. A person needs goals.
