Well, unfortunately, its not looking like my trip is happening. Two days ago I had a nice sized hole poked in my right elbow, allowing steady drainage of the obnoxious quantity of really nasty shit building up in my severely infected elbow/forearm. I've been instructed not to ride motorcycles/go fishing/go swimming/do anything awesome for a little while. Don't know how it happened, but my elbow started to swell up and my quack doctor just kept saying "if it gets worse come back and see me". Well sure enough, after over a month of that BS, it got obnoxiously sore and swollen and I went to a specialist who basically took a slight glance at it and told me I have a severe infection spreading throughout my arm. So I'm out of commission temporarily. Good news is..I'm still taking a trip, I'm just relegated to the steel cage. So now it's looking like spring time for a bike run...Thanks for all the advice guys..
