Well I JUST HAD KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGURY ON THE SECOND. LOOKS LIKE I'LL BE LAID UP FOR A FEW MONTHS. NO RIDING, NO KARATE, NO WAKEBOARDING OR SKIING. CAN'T EVEN HIT THE LINKS. I'M GONNA GET SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FAT.

Dude sorry to hear about that. Take care of it and maube by riding season again you can ride. Of course you could always turn the M95 into a trike....

My wife would kill me if I turned my bike into a trike. But I have seen some cool ones.
One of the reasons I chose early December is because the biking and boating slows down around then, But I've been known to do both in dead of winter.

Hope you heal fast.
Just don't rush it, give it time.
Just spend your time looking up all that bling, so you can get ready for your return to riding.
Good luck.

Yikes. It may not be as bad as months of monotony. Everyone heals up different from joint surgery. I took care of a 73yr old lady once that was ambulating w/ a walker by herself 2 days postop. Just listen to the docs and take it easy, and you should be fine.

**Louis** · 12-08-2005, 02:31 PM

Good luck.

Pinhy · 12-08-2005, 03:21 PM

good time of year to do it....i know NorCal doesnt get THAT much winter, but still less riding time than summer...so rest up and be ready for spring (february..haha)

I'm all over that. Now the wife can't complain that I'm spening too much time surfing.

So did you get the triple chrome plated knee joint and are you planning anymore upgrades ?

Us biker dudes, never satisfied with OEM.........

Nope. High polished Stainless. Wouldn't stand for anything less. Perfect fitment too.

I expect you to contribute this forum everyday. In between surfing porn, naturally.

**Clint** · 12-08-2005, 06:08 PM

That knee brace must be a pain. It apparently bumped your capslock key.

I hope you weren't serious about the trike. Yuck!

Ummm, any chance of Xray pics, brand, size etc ?

Was it a complete joint or hemi-type?

glued (cemented), porous metal, or Hydroxy Appatite coating?

What ever mod you plan UK, just don't install a hypercharger......you might end up with "restless leg syndrome".

Anyway....heal quick, so's you'll be ready for spring...
