The bionic hip is doing just fine. Not bad for 6 months out from the complex replacement of my repaired and smashed left hip. More gym time and longer walks are in my future.
Freya ran like a top. The balance between highway cruiser and carver of mountain twisties makes time spent behind the wheel a joy.
Drive your Crossfire! Finest mental health treatment I know.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your trip.
2,576 miles... and I'm nervous about driving 516 from NJ to OH and then 516 back. LOL
I do have a bad back, so hopefully, it won't require a lot of stops. This is my first long trip and unfortunately I'll be driving solo.
After reading about your trip I feel a lot less nervous.
