The NHS  has handed my knee op off to a private clinic in Plymouth. I was asked to go there today for pre-op tests. I drove 90 minutes each way 138 miles total. All they did was take a blood sample!

Can you kick start a bike after a knee replacement?

[Bsareg]

I've had both replaced. I can start most of the bikes but the ones I've found hardest are the Dbd 34 and the two smallest a 1929 Francis Barnett 196cc Black Hawk. And Triumph Sports Cub, must be something to do with gearing, but after 7 yrs I'm still improving!!

[Topdad]

Thats good news my consultant won't commit to kick starting but he could be completely unaware of what I'm talking about. As a load of friends on here have told me I'll knuckle down to doing the exercises and hopefully speed up my recovery ,fingers crossed

Remember me? If so you may remember I had to surrender my licence in December 2023 due to a sudden and unexpected medical incident, which was diagnosed as epilepsy, but may not be the case now. Well, after two and a half years of not being able to ride my A10 I decided to sell it. I was sad to see it go, but I knew keeping it covered up in my garage wouldn’t do it any good over time.

It was sold to a Cornishman, so it stays here in the West Country and hopefully will be winding its way through the narrow Cornish roads for a long time to come. I encouraged the new owner to join the forum, so I hope he has, or will.

I’ve been logging into the forum regularly but not being an A10 owner and rider anymore there’s not a lot I can contribute these days, but I do enjoy checking out the various posts, especially by the names familiar to me.

Just thought I’d let you know I’m still here (living  ) and . . . sort of still on the forum.

G'day Rog.
Good to hear from you.
You don't need to stay out in the cold. You'd still have great memories and be able to contribute.
Look after yourself and I hope to see you here again.
Cheers

Remember me?

Oh yes. Thanks for posting. Sad the 2 wheels life had to stop, butl life on 2 feet still has lots to give and enjoy, best luck forwards :O)

Hi Roger,
  That will come to us all sooner or later. I have very much appreciated your detailed cotributions over the years and I hope they do not stop.
   Please keep on the Forum.

My SR still sits in the workshop. Haven't been able to ride it due to side effects of the TN drug I'm on. But I still can see it and touch it every day, because I have the excuse that it's in there waiting to be 'kept' by one of my grandsons. I don't HAVE to part with it (yet).
