I do not think I pass out...but I do not ever have the sensation of falling.....and I do not feel the impact of hitting the ground with my body.
First thing I remember is I am on the ground and pain from where my knee has impacted the concrete.

2 guys saw me go down the last time I fell...They said my right leg just gave way and I went straight down on to that knee and rolled to the right. I never used my hands to try to catch myself during that fall. They also said I responded as soon as they asked if I was OK...
Hitting my knee that hard hurt like crazy.....but in a few min. my big toe's main joint hurt worse, it was like it had been bent way to far and hurt for 2 weeks.

I went to see my doctor and they are looking at what needs to be checked out...........I do have heart problems and PAD and PVD.

Yes I still have my beloved Rocket III

These are old pictures

Hi Joey, I am sorry to hear about your troubles, it sure does make me feel just A.O.K. !

I hope the Doc's can sort you out O.K.

Best.

Paul.

Joey have you thought about getting a trike kit for the bike?

Fellows I have rode this bike and can tell you that it is a sound bike that isn't lazy by no means. I swear at the time I rode his bike it had more power than my Roadster. It just felt like it would out run my Roadster in comparison..... after I figured out where to put my feet because Joey's bike has floor boards..... my Roadster doesn't......

I really hate for you to hang up your helmet for good. I have thought about once I hit the age that I can no longer ride what would I do and the trike option sounded like a excellent idea.

You nailed it there @mully95 . I'm not a lover of trikes but have seen a couple of guys with tricked up rocket trikes and they look the biz .
That car like engine lends itself perfectly !

Hi, Jerry, wondered how you've been, I think of you from time to time, and wondered how you are doing. Got COPD here, but still can't seem to quitb the damm cigs.

Very mixed emotions while reading this post. I feel for you. Knowing full well that some day will be in the same position one way or the other it is going to be a sad day when you just have to face the fact that your riding days are over. Please stay on the site and let us know how you are doing. Nothing would make me happier then to hear from you time to time. That's called RESPECT.

Sorry to hear of your health concerns @joey fletcher I think Marlands idea is best it is one reason I bought a rocket as it has plenty of reserve power to push the extra wheel, you just cant lean it, but there is that new mob that trike the front which does allow you to lean and if either are no go the open top sports car is also still getting the wind in your hair if you have some unlike me

The cigs(fags) are a curse had a friend of mine back home die of throat cancer caused by the nicotine sticks but he kept puffing away as long as he could.
iIhave never smoked in my life, I used to use my money for my school lunch to buy a pack of cigs every day then sell them one by one behind the smoke shed use to double or triple my money
