Glad it went well Tim. My knee has been bothering me also. I'm going to suffer awhile longer before I have it checked out.

I have had both knees scoped and bursa removed. The best thing I had was a little cooler you filled with water, ice and salt. The cold water was pumped to and flowed through a bladder I strapped around my knee. Felt sooooo good! Happy healing!

I've had my right knee scoped and the left "rebuilt" . Hope yours goes as well as mine has long term. Good luck

Don't tear it up more before you get it checked out.

Greetings all,
I had my follow up on the 18th and got a clean bill of health from the Doc. He gave me a big rubber band to loop around a chair leg to do leg extensions and leg curls to 'wake the muscles up". My mobility and lack of swelling allowed me to skip the 2nd follow up and I was told to go back to doing anything that doesn't hurt with the caveat to not kick start a motorcycle for 3 weeks. I have since become adept at left foot kick starting the Girly bike while standing beside it :D :D All will be well so long as i don't stall it in traffic. I rode the Milwaukee V-Twin the 122 mile commute yesterday with great success....
Manly 750 triple starting will have to wait a while. Thanks to all for the kind words.

Yeah, I've had my H2 stir up a little right knee trouble once or twice. Stick with the electric start Harley-Davidson for a while. :P

That's great news Tim! Do the recommended follow up as indicated too. Electric start is your friend right now.
