Jools oh I don't know I'm finally getting my Knee sorted on the 30th and I want to be around at least long enough to put some mileage and wear on the new one LOL *work*

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?

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!!

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
