		<h5>Not Even Back Surgery Will Keep Me Off My FatBoy!!!!</h5>
		<div class="date">By Carl Miller(Owner),  Dec. 9, 2009</div>
		<div class="rating_value"><img title="5.00" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="5.00" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="5.00" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="5.00" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /><img title="5.00" src="http://www.motorcycle.com/specs/sites/mot/images/icons/icon-overall-full.gif" /></div>   

		    I am 32' I Have Been Riding Just About All My Life. One day while working in Constuction when i was 29. I lost my Balance while working on the roof of a two story building and fell the full two floors. I Broke my back and Had to have four disks Fused. I thought i was done with more then just rid<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">ing. After I Recoverd &quot;about 18 Months Later&quot; i wanted so bad to see if it would be painful to ride again. I Took a Ride around my town for 45mins or so. When i got home and stepped of my bike i could not even stand up straight. The pain Had me Taking 2 Vicodins and Laying on my bed. It was a long time due so for me it was worth it :) But i did not do that again.<br />
<br />
As i sat in my garage One Day Stareing at my bike' I wondered if the comfort would be any different with different Bars. I Found A great buy on ebay For Ape Hangers. I Got them on and it made a world of difference. I saw that when I rode with apes it Made me ride With a straight back' No More Slowching which was the prob with my stock bars. I have since added a few more things to help my back like a Better seat and Crash Bars to put my feet up as I cruise down the inerstate.<br />
<br />
I wanted to share my story for those that may be in my situation or been curious. I now Ride Pain free Every Weekend.... <br />
<br />
