No kick starting for a while.

Not that I could much before. Just been released from hospital having a new (right) knee fitted. May have to resurrect Guzzi V50, that's got a button to press. Even that might not work because by the time I am able to get it out from it's slumbers and get on it's stand my knee might be working again. I am told given my age it could take up to year or more before I get the full use back.

I had a new right knee 2 years ago. Do the physio and do it expecting more than the minimum. I was told having 100 deg bend was excellent, I have 130. I was told I'd spend a year getting back to reasonable mobility, at 2 months I cycled to the post op review. I was told to be careful, OK I don't run, I don't play tennis. Never have. But I have been to the top of Mount Toubkal in the Atlas .

Keep the expectations high, you'll get them.

Oh, and I start the Dommie no problem.

That`s good news, Pete, most people on this board seem to be falling to pieces.
