Re: riding when you have tonsilitis or strrep throat

What I was about 40 years old I caught strep, it lasted about five days and put me in the hospital for a few days, with them feeding me antibiotics, I had the highest temperature that I've ever had at 104… And was damn scared. I then got out of the hospital, and about a week and a half later IT CAM...

Re: riding when you have tonsilitis or strrep throat

How do you know you have strep without a throat culture ?? and if you had it before why then did you not build up the immunity as you are attempting to do with this on set. Take the medicine or you run the risk of a heart infection and that can be fatal or minimally do valve damage which can be a r...

riding when you have tonsilitis or strrep throat

Forget it completely. I never knew I could feel this bad. This is the 5th day. I take the car out every day but leave my PCX on its stand. I am sure it is wondering what the hell is going on. Since I've had it I have ridden it every day for 4 years. But for now, I have no appetite at all for riding....

Re: riding in the cold

I guess the moderator moved it to Off-topic for some reason. It is just as well: this post is an improvement over the original I think. Which leads me to suggest an experiment: Write your post, copy it, save it somewhere without submitting and in a few days come back to the topic. Rewrite your post ...

Re: a puzzle

besides boots, helmet, gloves and knee pads I have no dedicated protective gear. I wear lined jeans summer and winter and in those there is a certain amount of protection baked-in, so to speak. In winter I wear three sweat shirts and two windbreakers. When I am in my winter riding outfit I look like...

Re: winters end... self preparation

If you have the courage, you might try standing on your head...very good for posture. Do it as described in the yoga manuals. Another good posture is the Bow. For this you lie on your belly , grab your ankles and "make like a bow". This strengthens the back and corrects, over time, the eff...

a puzzle

I ride all winter. Usually, from about the middle of November to March, I see no riders on my morning runs. The first week in March, provided the sun is out, and the wind isn't too punishing, I begin, usually on weekends, to see an occasional rider. They are almost always riding cruisers and always,...

Re: Life is Going to the Dogs. . .But in a Good Way!

the problem with this system, as was pointed out above, is that it begs to be abused. It might be fun for good sized young dogs belonging to older adults who have had a long acquaintance with dogs and the limits of their endurance. It is very easy for a jogger in good shape to take a dog with him on...

Re: Snow problem

he is riding what looks to be a 50 cc something or other. It is low to the ground with short fat tires. Such a configuration is safer in these conditions than a taller skinny tire bike like the PCX. There is a bike called Ice Bear, I think, that I have seen around here. It seems to have been designe...

Re: Freeway riding

PCX is happiest, seems to me, doing about 45 miles per. The upper fourth of its possible range is for temporary emergency and semi emergency use. Or so my experience tells me. I don't do freeways with it. I don't even like to do secondary highways (roads with 55 mph limit) because, let's face it, wh...

Re: Spring has sprung!

It is nice around here too...60's from the feel of it. I, of course, took out the PCX this morning. but then, if it had been 15 and the roads were clear I would have taken it out. I have been riding this winter every day when there wasn't flying snow or snow lying on the streets. Zero, and even belo...
