Hey Ragtop

Thanks for the update - glad to hear you're in some sort of remission and managing okay. Let us know how the gabapentin taper goes (and if there are any flare - ups from the reduced dose).

In the meantime I guess you'll be looking forward to getting the convertible out in summer and heading back to the beach. Happy cruising . . .

I am indeed looking forward to summer, but snow is falling and the snow plow just went by
But the battery tender is plugged in - so all I have to do is pull off the cover, drop the top, and fire it up once the weather gets warm

that you are dropping the Gaba. That means that you are either getting better or tougher,haha. I quit it and noticed a couple of times when I thought that the Gaba might have been helping. I didn't miss the fog and sentences left unfinished while in conversation. Here in Texas there are days when a jacket and 60+ degrees means I can ride my bike enough to keep the battery up. My legs are not what they need to be but I still ride with a fair amount of trepidation. My neighbor has a 1962 Valient(slant six fame) with a 318 crammed in under the hood. I think I might try to swap for it. My bike is like candy and red to go and he might be tired to throwing money into his project. If my summertime fantasy happens I will name the car RMPSHKR. Keep the shiny side up, Ken in Texas.

Yeah, four wheels might be a better bet than two. Been quite a while since I rode a motorcycle. Used to have a Gold Wing before I got married/had kids, etc..........
That Plymouth Valiant would be a nice car - kinda quirky, but cool at the same time
I've had my Camaro since 1997. When the kids were growing up, they called it "Dad's Black Car" - and that name stuck. They even bought me a custom license plate frame with that name on it.
