No, Or atleast i dont think so. Ive had it almost 3 months now and i got it from a guy in winsted, ct. The part that sux is last week i blew a disc out in my back and cant ride anymore so when i get the title in the mail from the dmv its going up for sale. This really sux cause I really love this bike. Everything about it is perfect, The look, the ride, the sound, and i swear it was built for me cause I fit it perfect. But I will really mess myself up and not be able to walk if I keep riding..

What a beautiful machine. Worst case, take lots of pictures and store them away so when you talk about your Superhawk you can really show people how you made the bike not only unique but your own. All the best to you, Dude!

Thanks nuhawk, the doc said when the disc blew out the main artery for my left leg got pinched between the bones, as of right now im looking at surgery but dont have insurance so it has to wait. Just sitting in one position to long my leg goes numb and takes about an hour to get feeling back. So he said if i ride and it compresses the artery too much i will have serious consiquences. So the bike has to go, maybe a few years down the road ill be ok to ride but for the time being there is no riding at all. So well see what happens. But dont worry, I will be back.

I realize this thread is probably old enough his bike is sold but I also had a disc rupture and had to have surgery. I'm just over a year from that surgery and riding my super hawk and loving it. I had so much pain before surgery I was sipping Loritab several times a night just to sleep all night long. The 45 min drive to work in a car became several 15 min drives with stops to get out, stretch, scream and punch the steering wheel because of the pain. I described it to most people as if you took a long rusty steel pointed rod and shoved it in through your hamstring at your *** and pushed it all the way down to your ankle. Yeah that about captures it.
I had the microdiscectomy surgery so I was in and out the same day. Spent three months fully recovering and about 6 months ago began riding motorcycles again. I do have to be careful about how I position my back and make sure I use my stomach muscles, but all in all, nothing anybody shouldn't be doing for proper riding position anyway. SO the moral of the story is, it is definitely possible to ride and take care of your back at the same time.
