NEW L-KNEE

[peterbaron]

Welcome back PB! Missed the 2019 Southern Ontario Meet-Up by only a week. Maybe catch you on the rebound.

Yeah, the quick and sudden progress happened few days after, took advantage of it and kept bending my knee at 100*

Great to hear, pb. There will be no stopping you now!

Ridden my BeeEmm for the first time this week since my hip replacement!
Took the river ferry crossing at Dartmouth (home of the British Navy) and along to Slapton Sands, scene of the Operation Tiger disaster (Google it). A Devon cream tea (Google that too!) then home again, along the beautiful coast road. Not that far, but twisty, slow Devon roads through little villages.

Meanwhile, the poor CB languishes on the bench, awaiting the rest of the Whitehouse bits and the exhaust. September at the earliest, I fear.

Love all these military stories and glad your hip is OK now

At last, back in the saddle again ....
Today, after April knee replacement and delay of extra few weeks, I made satisfactory, 70 km nonstop trip.
Yesterday had problem staring my bike since October hibernation. Battery went week and was replaced. Also did not want to fire and idle, quick judgement and trick brought her back to normal life
Thanks all for well wishes. Exercises need to be carried on until full recovery, long process in my complex case.

that is the great news we have been waiting for PB. Congrats

PeterBaron and Barry : glad that both of you are back on the bike again !!!

Congrats, youngster!

Trick?

After replacing battery there was very healthy crank but not firing, almost, but no.
Check spark/OK, smelled no fuel/both relays OK, so opened throttle just a little bit and she fired instantly and died agin. Repeat throttle trick again and was holding at 1500 for 3-5 more seconds and let it go again , resulting in smooth running ever after. Repeat starting several times = no issue. Possible IdleSCSV got momentarily stuck due to long sitting since November. No MIL/ELO present.
...and today tested through 200 miles with 5 stops = OK

Congrats PB and Bazbro!
