NEW STORY IN ORIGINAL POST :duck:


So, I just picked up my second Seca II last week and I can't wait to get started! I sold my last one about a year ago and have regretted it everyday since.
This was my first one after I was was done with it, LOVED that bike!:

And my new one that I just bought. Ugly as hell but it has potential! As far as I know it just has a V&H 4-1 exhaust, Corbin seat, rattle can paint job.

I already cleaned it up and matched all the paint, painted headers and windscreen too. Have turn signals and a jet kit on the way too! So this is the way it stands right now:

The G/F testing it out :

I may add these to post one if you guys think it makes more sense. I forgot to mention an integral part of my riding experience is dealing with a disability I have of missing part of my right hand due to a car accident. I have about 1/4 of my hand amputated along with the pinky finger and NO knuckles in my right hand. Makes it quite interesting to basically do anything on a motorcycle.FAIR WARNING: Hope no one gets grossed out on my hand as I do get some weird looks from time to time!

This is the most fist I can make, meaning I can't even throttle the bike properly. Yanking the front brake is much easier. The scar on my forearm is due to a skin graph and is not part of the original injury:

One of the ways I have tried to compensate is by adding a cramp buster to the throttle which is currently the only way I can ride. I have severe tendonitis and can not move my fingers much at all:

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask anything as I am very open and am not offended easily! :grins:
Also, any suggestions are welcome because my favorite hobby becomes more difficult by the day. Cheers guys!
EDIT: I think this should have been included in the original post. I am now adding it in case of any confusion. Hope to get some good feedback and will continue to work hard at my love of motorcycles!
