Hi guys. I joined this site last year while rehabbing a knee from a bad injury and surgery in March, 2014. Then the knee got operated on again last November. I was finally back from that and starting to ride a little and then I had to have my gall bladder removed. As I was recovering from that, I hurt both knees. I had knee surgery yesterday and the other knee will get operated on in about 6 weeks or so.

So, if y'all don't consider me unlucky, hopefully I can meet up with some of you guys late fall or so for some rides.

By the way, I received a nice invite from somebody on here while I was on another forum. I forgot who it was but I just wanted to say thanks.

So, you guys be careful and have fun and remember to appreciate the time you get to spend on 2 wheels!

Hey Phil,
Well that just sucks. But sounds like you are getting the knees fixed once and for all...? I can identify with knee issues as I also have them. When it isn't working as it should you worry about a sudden load on the joint when you roll to a stop and put a foot down. BTDT a couple different times. Get well soon--the fall-winter months are the best for riding as far as I'm concerned! (that was me on ADVrider.com)

Welcome to the group ! Some of the best riders in the Carolinas. We are all getting on in years and sometimes down for maintenance ! I was down for all the summer of 2014 after surgery. It was great to get back on 2 wheels. Hang in there ! <scoot>

How do you know when you are a hard core motorcycle enthusiast? You schedule elective surgery in the beginning of winter lol
