Used it for physio/occupational therapy. Sit on bike. Raise foot to footrest. Lower foot to floor. Repeat until bored.

Not long now!

The bungs don't seem to be long enough for that. My feet just slip off of them. I know I could ride it now, and probably be ok, but it's improving daily, so I'll give it another couple of days at least, just to be sure. Just a bit awkward with the gear change still.

Should I say that again? The bungs don't seem.........

[unfazed]

Use Velcro 

[Hedgetrimmer]

You mean like this?




 

[unfazed]

Definitely 

[Hedgetrimmer]

Went to try to start it - no go, just a very faint neutral light 

I had a feeling that this battery was on the way out. 9.3V after only sitting in the garage for one month. Got a new one on charge now. If it stays dry tomorrow, I'll pop out for a quick spin.

Stuck yellow head light covers on, very Valentino!


(and works well in the dark night commutes...)

[Hedgetrimmer]

Rode it for the first time in nearly 5 weeks 

Only a 15 minute spin to see how I cope, and was ok, but don't reckon I could do much distance just yet. It was fairly uncomfortable on the knee towards the end of that. I could shift back a bit on the seat to relieve it somewhat, or dangle the leg straighter for a bit when not cornering, but needs more time before I can do something like, for instance, test ride a Street Triple 

However, after an outpatients appt. at the trauma clinic today, doc has just signed me off for 3 more weeks 

Double-edged sword though, as I'm climbing the walls already, and don't expect a lot of great biking weather now.

3 more weeks ya jammy bassa.....you'll have wanked yourself into a coma by the end of it

Finally got to the bottom of my leaky right front brake. Hopefully it'll be the last time...

It doesn't matter how crippled blokes get theres always the abilty to bang one out


Good to hear that you're getting better Nick....that was me last year as i came off at the start of September i think and then had to read a few months of folks posts about where they'd been.


This year i've only just put the bike away but i wouldn't want to tempt fate by riding through all the shite weather plus all that money you're saving on fuel and stuff can go towards another bike.

[Hedgetrimmer]

Fortunately, I had my stack at the end of "the riding season" (here it comes... ), so I got all the best of the year's riding in From now until spring the riding will be pretty much limited to dry days with dry roads, so not a lot.

Unfortunately, most of what I would have saved by being off has now been spent on the R1 fork conversion   Plus of course, sick pay isn't a great deal, but at least I do get some.

Weather looking ok for tomorrow, so I might get out again for another brief spin.

[unfazed]

Nicks first day back on his bike after a few weeks recuperation, but concerned about the lack of damping on the shock.

Snapped the choke cable when starting it up this morning

[YamFazFan]

Roads covered in salt grit now,so battery off & put on the optimate for the time being .

[HarryHornby]

I've not ridden for about 6 weeks so I had to check the tyre pressures and pump them up, give it a wash, charge the battery because it wouldn't start and THEN....blinged it up a little ready for the Whitstable Toy Run tomorrow.
