How many years have I been doing this group, Gee wiz I have no idea and how long have I been doing Indiana Pan Fishing on MSN before I started this group, It seems like forever. Well as many of you may not know, on 10-6-14 I was cruising on my Honda Silver Wing

Down South River Road admiring the beauty of the fall colors and the calmness of the Wabash River, I was cruising along about 35mph when all of a sudden I found myself "OFF THE ROAD" and struggling to get back on. Well needless to say I made it but then I apparently lost control of my bike and went down.
I awoke in the local Hospital with a broken Left Wrist and my Silver Wing was totaled, The Doctor could not operate for a full week because they did a blood draw and found my Sugar to be very high (350) ....
I Had no idea I was diabetic until my accident on 10-6-14, my A1C was 12.6%, Total Cholesterol was 656, LDL (Bad Cholesterol) was 375, HDL (good Cholesterol) was 67 and my Triglycerides were greater than 885. Again I had no idea but as a result of this finding, My eating habits have changed dramatically and I am finally loosing the weight I've been wanting to loose for many years.
I'm 56 years young and want to continue being around for a long long time. I suppose everyone goes through something like this sometime in their lives but I would strongly suggest that IF you are up in years, have excess weight and have not had a complete physical in a wile.. It just might be in your BEST interest to have one done, You may feel fine now but you never know what's around the corner.
I've lost about 20lbs in the last month and could stand to loose another 30lbs, I'm not on Insulin and I don't want to be. I am however taking medication that is helping but most of all I have changed my eating habits, three small meals a day with a small snack in the evening, I have already LOST my double chin and I believe my stomach is shrinking, I'm getting satisfied with less food.
As for my Silver Wing, Insurance has given me enough for a replacement and so I got on Craigslist and typed in "HONDA SILVER WING" and I couldn't believe the amount of returns I received, In just about EVERY State there are MANY of these SUPER SCOOTERS for sale and they are in Great condition with few miles on them, Most however are over priced but after looking and sending messages to the owners I have found TWO that are great deals.
The first one I found is in Louisville, KY. owned by a wonderful lady who only rides it to church on Sunday HAHAHA (just joking) the bike is a "08" and has only 2,229 miles on it and is in perfect condition .... The second one is a "07" and is in Clarksville, IN and has 6,800 miles and it too is in perfect condition.
Many of my co-workers and friends have a problem with SUPER SCOOTERS, even though they are 600cc and can keep up with their Harley's, they cannot rap their mind around them. I have an appointment to be in Louisville this Sunday the 9th to view and possibly buy the "08" but if anything goes wrong, I will stop into Clarksville and look at the "07"
