    Thanks for the excellent writings over the last few pages Malcolm, one heck of an event and a privelege to read your prose. Really sorry to hear how long the recovery is going to be mate - hope you've learned how to use the other hand

    It's a bugger not being able to ride through most of the summer.

    Cheers,

    Geoff

    Thanks Steve, and welcome to the world's best motorcycle forum.

    Now its your turn to add on the missing bit from Julia Creek.

    I've just arrived home from my latest visit to hospital, where the surgeon has managed to free up the joint prior to surgery. This evening I will be riding my bike for the first time since October. Its only going to a short 10 km ride to the motorbike club meeting and home again, but its a start.
    Time to ride

    Just be careful on a Real bike after spending time on the postie bike. My first ride out once I got home I nearly put myself over the front wheel. Came into a corner and started braking like I would on the postie
