I am pleased to say that it shouldn't be much longer before I am ready to ride again. Some of you may know I spilled my '550 earlier this year and broke my right elbow and shoulder. I'm still in physical therapy,but should be strong enough to ride very soon. I had a bit of bad luck, the accident was pretty minor, but I happend to land with all my weight on my right elbow. The bike fared much better, only a broken rear turn signal and a few minor scratches. The headlamp is askew but appears with some persuasion it should go back where it belongs.
One of the last things I did before I had my accident was to attempt an oil change. Actually I changed the oil, but was unable to get the bolt out of the oil filter to change it. I am afraid if I torque it much harder it will break. Anyone have a tip on this? Todd
