shoulder op two weeks ago today. 40 years of bricklaying and a few offs, including a biggie on a zx9rb1 years back finally took their toll. big tendon gone completely, small one almost completely torn, collar bone been semi dislocated for years, finally lostvirtually all use last few months. so they shaved the bone, stitched whats left off my small tendon together, screwed some hooks into the bone to stitch the tendons too and stapled me up. supposed to be 3 weeks in a slingfoam braced four inches from my body then three weeks in a sling stuck to my bodythen a lot of physio and slow recovery followed by being able to ride again in twelve months. bugger that, im self employed, so will be back at work in about six weeks. and in about three weeks i'll be riding down to the south of france with the missus on the 09 gen2 busa ive bought for the job. the old fazer cant stay, ive sold eveerything except my fat bob(gave that to my son and grandson) to buy the suzuki and give me something to aim for and make me heal quicker. i know its a bit loony. but what the hell do we all ride bikes for anyway? because we love it, and we aint giving up on it, no matter what the sensible option is.
