    Takes more then that to keep me from the wind. Was out today, I just throw that leg up and lay it on the highway pegs as I shift with the left. Just not able to slam on the back brakes very hard right now. Got a lot of movement gone that I hope they get back in physical therapy.
    That bike is the only thing that keep me sane in life. :wry:

    lol otty that thing is going to require an operation eventually. Ligaments dont fix themselves. Everything else just compensates and your nerve endings close up to the pain. Hope this gets resolved, but at 40 that knee is probably not worth operating on... it's not like your going to make the pros :p Well maybe you are .. GL... we do have a bunch of gimps around here.. i mean most people hurt themselves at some point.. but we've got some serious injuries around here :p Maybe that's what started a non-physically demanding hobby :p

    It took me 3 yrs before I was allowed to start leaning how to walk again went for 198 Lbs to 285 laying on my A$$ for that amount of time. But from my femurs to my ankles I had 57 broken and shattered bones . My feet ?? just to many crushed bones to count in them . :) I have had both knees scoped ICL in one and ACL in the other , My neck I had C5 fractured and C4 was herniated and , Wore a Halo for close to 2 yrs and I have more metal then a New 57 Road master Buick LOL.. I tote close to 12 Lbs of Titanium now and that was before to last 3 fractures .. 4 plates and 25 screws :) and now getting more hardware this Thursday . Doctor said I was the first case that he had to remove more old metal then he had to install to make room for the new stuff But I was an Orthopedic surgeon's dream :) I won't go into fingers being severed ad left for dead :) I'm just going back 15 yrs with this stuff LOL .. But I ain't *****ing in the least as all I have is mine and I don't have to buckle my legs of feet on LOL so if the house catches fire in the middle of the night I don't have to crawl in the smoke looking for my out riggers :)
