RAA Oklahoma edition (fall launch) set date.

[EasTexRIII]

Clint is equal to the task and has excellent culinary skills. A head to head competition would be a dizzying event. I like Clints food and skill in prep. He adapted and conquered under less than ideal conditions in Kentucky and far from home. Y'all be safe out there. Think I'll check out for a while. Oh, you never really leave this group. Somehow my Vic Vision tag has got R3 in it. Coincidence? Fate?Dumb luck ?

Naw, not equal - uh uh

These affectionate exchanges are why I still haunt these pages. No one carries on in Vic land. No family feel there. No "picking" on each other. Rocket owners are friends and family. I am thankful for having had my Rocket, and still having y'all. Life is difficult enough. I know I'm a strange "agent" so thx for overlooking my wierd meanderings.

Once in the familia = always in the familia!

Ok guys, will regretfully not be attending. Met with the surgeon this morning and will be getting first knee replaced in October. Will have extensive work ups with quite a few other medical referrals in preparation and to get clearance for the surgery. I have a little bit of a risk factor going on. Will follow with second knee 90 days later, hopefully. Should ready to go and get back on the road for long range touring in the spring. Next year will be a good riding year. This has not been my year.

Mike, once you have had the knee replacements, make sure you follow the physio aftercare and religiously exercise the joints. Met a couple of guys who were in at the same time as me - failed to follow the regime and are now suffering big time!! Got my second knee to be done January time. I put it off until the quiet period at work! Good luck

Will not be an issue with me. I've been planning this for 4-5 years and am well aware of the importance of following the exercises so I'll be all over that. We also belong to a local swimming pool. I was a long time swimmer/surfer/water skier and know how beneficial it can be for post-replacement therapy.

Still, even though I've got a fairly high pain threshold, I'm not looking forward to this.

What was the time frame between your first and second surgery? Some do one knee and find it so miserable that they won't do the second. I have no choice since both are equally shot.

I have friends my age who are broken down and will do nothing about it. I tell them that I've lived a very active life and no matter what the temporary pain, cannot contemplate living the rest of my life as a broken down old codger, unable to tour the world on two wheels like I've done for so many years.

A question I do have is for biker's like us. A guy told me today that he still can't lean on his knee after about a year, as in leaning over on a stationary bike, which is a misery now for me. So is that an issue? I want to be riding the highways and byways in the spring once again.

I hope it meets your satisfaction?
What color?

I ordered the Black shirt. Sorry for the delay, between work OT and walking pneumonia I have been making money or sleeping

I was told I needed both 11 or 12 years ago, was all set todo it when Iretired, but then found that not working on them 40 hours a week made a huge difference, I can live with them a bit longer, but pretty soon I'll have to.
