Well goodness gracious look who be back, Mr ST1300 hisself! Good good good. We've all missed you at the campfires but we haven't spoke badly of you even once (yet). Your grace time is over, from now on we do nothing but talk **** about you at the campfires. So you better be there to protect yourself.

Keith, thanks for the update. Sounds like you're making good progress. Took me a little while to get comfortable with my new knee, but it's a lot better than its predecessor. Keep it up!

Sounds like I better get my act together then. Tomorrow is the only dry day be fore I go back to work Thursday. I plan on taking a ride on the DR650. I rode the Tiger around the block yesterday. I am still not ready for it or the ST. I still have some swelling from my last surgery. As that comes down I will gain range of motion. Just going to take time. But I'll get there.
Thanks everybody! Can't wait to see you guys.

..... I got the stitches taken out and Dr. told me to ride my exercise bike everyday. It should continue to improve with time.

Kieth, glad to hear about the progress from your knee replacement. Just curious, does your Dr. know that you're riding a motorcycle?
Don't forget to watch the Thunder beat the Warriers tonight!

It's great to hear that the knee is improving. And to know that you've been riding.
NOW! When are we going to have the pleasure of your company?

Keep up the good work, buddy.:)

My Dr. knows I have 3 bikes in the garage. He never told me not to ride. :D

Such great news Keith. Glad that you are heading in the right direction.

I'm still struggling with mine and I had it done last July. Going to see a different specialist to see what's going on in there.

I think you should get a second look at yours. That just seems like way too long.
I am getting better by the day since my last surgery on 5-9-2016. I started back to work today. I worked a 12 hr. shift with no problems.
I took the Tiger for a 22 mile ride last night. That sure was nice. I'm going to give it another week before I try the ST. I think I'll be fine by then.
I continue to gain a little range of motion every few days. And no more knee pain.

It good to hear you're doing well. You know our RTE is on the 18th of this month. I mean, what's 700 miles? Just a couple of states over. We'll give you some Aleve for the trip home. :D. If you can't make it, we'll see you at Arkanstoc.

Ride Safe

Glad your new parts are coming along. In a year, you probably won't even be thinking about it! ;-)
