Sounds like you've got yourself a plan

Got up too bloody early on a Saturday to go to museum live at the National Motorcycle Museum, looking forward to hearing that Nemesis fire up though.

Norton Nemesis fire up.

Honda RC174 running.

This was by far the loudest, and probably most valuable, bike of the day.
10 in the world and the owner said it needs a new crank every 400 miles at a cost of £30k. His pockets were deeper (and probably emptier) than mine.

Wow Rixington43 sounds like a fantastic day a beautiful array of bikes👍

It has been a lot of years since I have been NMM (a long time before the terrible fire) I was lucky enough to be invited to the TT riders dinner a few years running, and was also allowed to wander around the museum.

Today I have been wearing my new lid around the house while pretending to work from home. Much to Lady Poppy's amusement. Happy to report it fits great but my first ride out with it will have to wait until the weekend. At least I will now look like a proper ADV Dad with a peaked helmet...

Not today, yesterday, nipped into hospital for a full knee replacement

Good luck with the recovery

Rixington43 · « **Reply #611 on:** November 08, 2024, 08:38:40 »

My dad had his done a couple of months ago, best of luck with the rehab and I hope your freezer is well stocked with frozen peas ;)

Good luck FR on your recovery

It's all about the physio now, the more effort you put in the quicker & easier the recovery will be. I pushed the wife hard when she had her knee done and it paid dividends as it's been trouble free and exceeded the hospitals expectations.

Good luck Andy & as has already been said, keep up with the physio!

Here's wishing you have a swift and complete recovery and you that progress from this

Will follow your progress FR, as I had a full replacement back in July

Good luck with your recovery

Asmith61 · « **Reply #616 on:** November 08, 2024, 21:05:27 »

As others have said here’s hoping for a swift & complete recovery FR

StromGeeza · « **Reply #617 on:** November 08, 2024, 21:16:07 »

Recover in plenty of time for the customary West Wales camping weekender knees up!

Fat Rat · « **Reply #618 on:** November 09, 2024, 08:07:40 »

Thanks for the good wishes folks

I'm glad it's finally done. I may need some help with creating a back story for the scar. I already use my fictional time spent in the underwater knife fighting platoon to explain other scars. I am thinking along the lines of a freak shark attack on the M4.

Suggestions appreciated.

An interesting Christmas gift for someone, Andy?
