Well it looks like its Good Night Vienna for the NCX.
I have arthritis in my left knee and am finding it hard to weight bear on , especially if I then swivel on it to cock my leg over the bike to get on or off it. 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!
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!
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!

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.
