NEW L-KNEE

At last, back in the saddle again ....:biker:
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 :D
Thanks all for well wishes. Exercises need to be carried on until full recovery, long process in my complex case.

Congrats, youngster!

Trick?
 
A :banana: to you, peterbaron and a :banana: to you, Bazbro. Congratulations on your respective recoveries. Keep at it.
 
Thanks guys.
I've not ridden for 18 months or so and it's surprising how, er, 'hesitant' I was on the ride. Probably more to do with age in combination with being off the 'bike for so long, rather than just time away.

But it was great to get back in the swing if it! And I didn't consider my hip once.
How about you, pb? Did your knee "remind" you at all?

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! :D

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. :(

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

The bottom line: all those who need knee replacement: get it done ASAP by reputable orthopaedic surgeon, don't delay. No regrets.

Wowzers. I missed out on this whole episode. So glad everything worked out so well. Ride on! :biker::biker::biker:
 
Dang we never saw Xrays like that of my wife's knees. I'm kinda glad lol
 
That's really good news Peter, and a great picture too.

That is great news Peter , is it a sealed for life hinge or did they put a grease nipple on it ?

:rofl:
... until I read your response, it was a sealed unit... now, it has 2 grease nipples :P
:beerchug:
 
Dang PB, you’re a cyborg now! ;)
 
Great news PB. :beerchug:
 
Why is that stem coming out of the front of your femur?!?!?

Same Q I asked my doctor....so my femur was fractured at 2 different spots, misaligned during first surgery + bone infection in '71 and therefore it has is no channel in it as you see in tibial for comparison.
For stability, durability and perfect alignment, he went different way, I guess...

I am not complaining, works flawlessly.... after Houtman sent two grease nipples..:P
