I talked to Fred yesterday. He has a way to go yet for conversations but he is slowly getting better. He is driving to a nearby store and I have seen him lurking on this site. It has been just over six weeks and I think he is doing pretty well. If you care to wish him well, just add it to this thread.  Thanks  LSL

Hi Fred, hope your recovery is as fast as you are.
Take care

I am happy to report that Fred will be attending the Wilmington meet this weekend. He wants to see the debut of the teams' new aero N/A bike with Brenda Sue riding. Steve and friend just left my house heading West. After working all day they will stop tonight and arrive for inspection tomorrow. Steve will be riding our 17 y.o. Production bike. It got me in the Bonneville 2-Club and was the fastest at Maxton at 208.
    Please stop by and say Hello to Fred, I know he has missed his racing friends. Be aware that he understands everything you say but is still learning to communicate. Weather looks good, lets hope the wind is mild. Good Luck to All.   LSL

Great to hear, glad Fred is back on his feet.  :thumb:

Now he can pull the "sorry, I wasn't being an ass and ignoring you, I had a stroke and am having difficulty expressing myself" move.
Any day on a motorcycle like this that ends just needing parts and labor is a good day.
