I may finally get a chance to try out the rain tires I purchased several years ago, they have been in shrink wrap in my "race Shop" since the Big Brown Truck dropped them on my door. Never ridden on rains so let the learning begin again!
I guess someone may want to know what happened that put me in the hospital for a few days. I could not sleep Tuesday night-not uncommon for me but this was a little different. Wednesday morning I was freezing and shivering but had no fever and my energy was super low. I tried to nap while covered with a blanket and wearing a hoodie in a 75 degree room. After a couple hours of this, i felt a little better- or so I thought- so I did a few light chores and I started to sweat. I kept feeling hotter and hotter (like the guy in Napolien Dynamite) until I was dripping sweat with all my clothes were soaked and this was with the aircon on max and a fan blowing directly on my for 2 hours. Wife drove me to emergency room and after hours of tests they could not find anything. They finally did a CT scan and I was rushed to a larger hospital to see a Urologist. The informed me that my Kidneys were/are infected and there is and abscess on one of them!!!!!!! 
Needless to say, many antibiotics and $10's of thousands of dollars later, I feel better and may have introduced my ER DR. to try out non sportbike days on the track!--Whoops- off topic again--The infection responded to the drugs and should totally clear up in a week or 2 after further- NON IV antibiotics. So thats my excuse if I cant reach my set goals this weekend and I can prove my case in a court of law!!
Be safe and I will update for those who care, on Tuesday  |
Oh wow!!! Crazy story and glad you are on the mend now. What a trip! Ok, so my advice here is to get better BEFORE you try and get out and ride again and listen to your intuition (which KNOWS whether it's safe for you to ride or not!) Anway, I wanted to respond to this post first to say I'm glad you are OK!!! Now I will respond to the other post as it was rad and I'm excited for you!!!!
