A friend introduced me to a guy who had a motorcycle accident 4 years ago. He had 8 surgeries done (at Mayo), metal rods in his arm, metal in his shoulder blade, etc etc. After listening to his story I couldn't believe he's able to move his arm. In fact he bought a GXR1000 not too long ago. He was in the navy (I'm in the navy), so he was able to give me so much info about all the things I need to know from when it's time for me to be medically discharge. He left and a couple of hours later came back on his bike to bring me a sling, which is super awesome, no more walking with my head falling to the side, no more shoulder fatigue. It also has a pistol grip, so no more carrying a bath sponge in my hand. This sling is so awesome a could go jogging if I wanted to. I'm so grateful for this person. I thought I share this with you guys. God bless and thank you so much.
