You and Weeksy soon...Taipan wrote: Fri Jul 16, 2021 1:33 pmI 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!Yorick wrote: Fri Jul 16, 2021 1:27 pmMy pal swears by fenugreek seeds.

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!
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!
2 weeks on the seeds and he's like a puppy. Still going well 6 months later.![]()

Re: New bike thread!
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.Taipan wrote: Sun Aug 08, 2021 7:18 pm Well I have someone coming to view/buy it tomorrow.

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!

Re: New bike thread!
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.
