I have two motorcycles burning a hole in the garage floor. Been sitting there for 8 weeks now, staring at me every time I go in there.

Obviously only me and my doctor can tell when, but how long must I wait before riding again???

I rode my bike 365 days a year prior to this - I mean even in icy conditions (yes I'm stupid). So having to drive my truck is a drag, especially considering I need to replace the rotors and overhaul the transmission.

So I'm chomping on the bit to get back on the saddle but don't have enough experience with back problems to know whether that's a bad idea until I've reached - this stage (whatever that stage is).

So dangit! When can I ride????
