Another new TQ motor: hpr40

We have no problem servicing bikes we do not sell, including DTC, but we may charge a diagnostic fee to figure out what's needed.

That's the way it is supposed to be ... /singing/

I'm also trying to learn how to eat again

Holy cow Catalyzt sorry to hear of your troubles and wishing you a speedy recovery. I can relate to the issue of trying to learn how to eat again, my wife went in for an MRI this past April to try and find out why she was experiencing hearing loss in her right ear, well they discovered a very large tumor (meningioma) wrapped around the brain stem and right side of the brain. Long story short, we ended up in Seattle the end of May for an 8 hour surgery, and let me tell you when they open up your head and mess with your brain it is serious business. Lots of nerves that control a lot of things located there and they do not like to be messed with, result was right side facial paralysis along with vocal cord and throat paralysis, so she could not swallow causing aspiration and insertion of a PEG tube. It has been almost four months now and she is just now beginning to eat small quantities of very soft foods, with lots of coughing involved. I have been tube feeding her since we returned from Seattle and it is very time consuming to try to get 1800 calories of liquid nutrition (I call it soylent green as it comes in a green carton) into her over the course of a day. Things are starting to look up though as she can get down about 300 calories of soft food now. The doctors said that it can take a year or longer for nerve connections to regain function, so it is a long road to recovery.
This was going to be my summer to ride, I bought that new Creo 2 SL last fall three weeks before freeze up and was only able to ride it then and about a month this spring, starting about two weeks ago I was able to start finding a small window of time here and there (1/2 hour to an hour) that I could get away and go for a short ride. And now we are three weeks until freeze up and icy roads, another summer shot. Such is life, you never know what is coming at you, ride while you can because you never know when it will be your last time.
Wishing you well and a full recovery Catalyzt.
