Yeah they have here it is :laugh:

Hey something vaugely familiar with that one………… oh hang on, I get it, you turned the clip around eh!!! :silly:

Truly great skill and great practice idea. Seen the ones at Lowes mount that Grabbo uses and I suppose I should practice them when I see them eh!

Yeah, yeah. Read all the fluff many times but I look at them and what, 20deg rotation? Maybe as I get older and my ankles seize up they will look better! So my already level ?? riding will be % better with these???

[Gareth Morgan-ThomasMember]

Yes, I think it would limit the opportunity to damage but having said that both of my knee destruction jobs
would probably still have done damage but maybe not so much??? Good question though!

Better if you don’t make stupid decisions though, first one was maybe when I was mid to late 20’s
but the 2nd one this year, you would think I would have known better! 😆

Well, here I am 1 month down the track and going great guns! No real limp and work as hard as ever!!

Thought that you might like some $ figures incase you are ever unfortunate enough to do the same.

LARS (synthetic ligament) ACL reconstruction $5,200.
Anethsitist (??) $750. (stay at school kids)
Medicare rebate $1,200.
HCF rebate $1,200.

So about $3,500 job. plus specialist is $200. a visit (but it is for 20 min, so not like its a rip off eh!)

Now where it gets expensive is sitting on the lounge with ice packs and a laptop and finding that bike
you want on the interweb…….. Love my new F800GS, now need to be able to ride it! Salesman did follow up
call last week to see hows it’s going, how would I know, only sat on it twice in the garage last week!

Conclusion; get that knee fixed asap but throw out the laptop before the operation!

Dam you beat to it old boy.

Riggs what REALLY happened was:

Dear penthouse. I bought a trials bike and a tight lycra riding suit. Then put the suit on in the shed, jumped on the bike and rode past the mirror looking at myself and well the rest is history…. :laugh: :laugh:

Rest up mate and see you tomorrow.

Way to out me brother, I had them all hooked to my tale of woe & misery… didn’t I?????

Like my avatar? memories……

Smart people these docs n nurse types. Just write on the leg to be done… why would you do that, what could possibly go wrong? [img]http://obtrailriders.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/PA140719.JPG[/img]

Well…. I bought this Gas Gas trials bike and …… I mastered riding it ahem, ahem.

Stupid, stupid bike!

50 this year but made the same decision a 17y/old would have made and….. end result.

Isn’t insanity making a decision that never worked and expecting a different reult?

[Gareth Morgan-ThomasMember]

The surgeon I had last time, Craig Waller (Bulldogs & Cronulla I think), had moved from Concord private to St Vincents so I followed. I told him I looked him up to see if he was still doing them and he said “what else would I have been doing” to which I replied “plumbing”.

He did the first grade footballer Luke Covell who went back in 10 weeks, Waller reckond Luke wanted to go back after 6 weeks!!

[Gareth Morgan-ThomasMember]

Not the same one actually!

Yes, stupid enough to do a similar thing again!

Photo’s, actually looks pretty good.

would you believe up and about today, could start light physio but the swelling is the point so lots of R.I.C.E.

They say I can jog 2 weeks post op but I couldn’t jog before the op so go figure.

That hammy is a problem but even when we eventually have knee replacements they will still leave the hamstring so….. Penalty of play!!

[Gareth Morgan-ThomasMember]

Absolute gold!!!

But really, what else could you do in a situation like that….. it’s not like looking left and right would make you avoid the little truck eh!

Bring on the alert system and we need multi airbags, ABS, ESC and UBD as well…. that should stuff the fun out of riding, but at least we will be stopped from senslessy taking our own lives!!!!!

[Gareth Morgan-ThomasMember]

This is great, just the kind of support a guy needs to do a 4day, we should have a great weekend…. hope MAL5.1 survives!!
