After 2 weeks of not being allowed to ride (hernia operation), I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms :(
(The only other time I went this long was when I was away on holiday)


luckily I'll be back on the road tomorrow :rockon:

I still have to be careful moving my bike onto the road, but I'll be fine riding :thumbup:

I know what you mean about the withdrawal. I find it difficult to go a couple of days without a ride. Luck enough here to be able to ride most days all year round, so I shouldn't complain too much.

Hope you heal up quick, enjoy the ride, but don't overdo it!

Yeah I had a belly button Hernia, it's not that bad now but I'm just not allowed to lift or push & pull on things in case it bursts the internal stitching.

The doc made me a new belly button so that I would look anatomically correct... :eek:
I've got 11 staples in there and when ever I get x-rayed I get questioned.

Ahhh thats better, it's great getting a fix

Yeah I've got a new belly button, I've now got an inny (as opposed to an outy :) )They used soluble stitching with mine, both on the outside as on the inside (so my "bits" don't protude out any more :eek:) but because of this it can still break if I use my stomach muscles (too much) until it's all healed up. I asked them to put a few extra stitches in to give me a six pack effect, but they didn't ;)

Yeah, it's a bummer. I just had knee surgery 2 months ago. They replaced the ACL and sewed the tears in both meniscus. I finally rode to work today[emoji1]

Hope you're back in the saddle, Martin! I definitely know what it's like to be forced to give up your favorite activities (was in a case for 3 months at one point.. nevermind the long PT afterwards).
It's an amazing feeling to get back to it though!

Glad you're back in the saddle mate, I know how long a few weeks off the bike can feel.. The mighty armchair (XJR1300) has been off the road for the last 3 weeks & the parts are finally on the way !! :) :) :) :)

I hate it when a weekend goes by and I dont get to ride at least once, even if its just a chain warm up pre lube.

Having to wait for parts sucks I have had that only once or twice, the worst was drop off Wednesday Pick up Friday- I hated the train commute. I guess an enforced "rest up" is a bit different and I hope I don't have to go through it.
Glad your back on the wheels Martin!
