Not been on the bike for a couple of months now due to the hands. several fingers locking up, struggling to grip anything, no prospect of any treatment until June July time, apart from paying for private treatment again. Ive an open appointment but it makes no difference to waitin times. Ive aslo now got a crocked knee due to worn cartilage. However, Im still alive.
Totally feel for you Agricola. Getting a few miles on our body clocks is certainly a bitch. Wear and tear from past sports start to catch up, and coupled with winter weather fuels a depressed outlook. Currently coughing my way through the “100 day cough” that seems to be doing the rounds. Only got another 30 days to go. Hopefully when spring arrives we’ll all feel a bit better.
Riding the bike regularly is a work out in itself, although we aren’t aware of it at the time. Due to a few treatments since last May, my biking time has been rather limited, and a clutch action that used to be fine now tends to feel on the heavy side, which in reality it isn’t. I think I’ll take a leaf from Fazer scotty’s book, and try fitting a clutch arm from an MT07, in a search for a lighter “pull”.
