I actually dropped the bike on me the other day as my knee gave out and ended up with the bastard thing on top of me on the front lawn! :oops: Shame as this really hit the spot for my commute. Back to a scooter I reckon as the knee wont get any better, only worse, and I'm a few years off of a replacement knee. Ho hum!
My pal swears by fenugreek seeds. He couldn't walk for months. Nearly sold his bike and the bar they own.
2 weeks on the seeds and he's like a puppy. Still going well 6 months later.
I tried everything with my other knee when that one went. Now I've had my x-rays back I have found out i have it it in my knee and both hips and a " large plantar calcaneal spur" on my heel for added insult! :roll:

Go Team Invacar!
You and Weeksy soon...

You laugh but Harleys are very easy to swing a leg over and I did actually think about getting another Sportster! But a scoot will do for now as its only a daily/commuter hack.

Good luck with the sale. From what I can see all bike prices are up but no idea what people are actually getting.

Not intentionally and I'm sure i mentioned my impending crippledom forcing the sale? I bought its replacement, a Tmax, a few weeks back. Back into riding automatic armchairs again! :D :thumbup:

They didn't buy it. Way too tall for the Lady even allowing for a lowering kit. Had a nice chat with them though, friendly lot bikers aren't they. :)
