ignore them all...it will never heal, in fact it looks like you might have have it off if i am honest....

but don't worry, i will make sure that the bike is looked after





seriously though mister looks sore, but I have very close experience to suggest that these ops can work so fingers crossed it will start to get better and you will be ready for riding in the new year. I mean honestly, who can i take the **** out of if you aren't there

arrrrgh that looks sore, you should have asked for a 1/4" bsp grease nipple to be inserted to keep it lubricated !

I had a really minor OP a few weeks ago, surgeon told me Id be OK to play squash in a week, it actually took four weeks but OK now so keep the faith, its a bad time to sell anyway so no need for hasty decisions

Thanks fro the support guys(except you Lily!!),just feeling down at the Mo.

What you need to realise is,this is the 10th op like this that i've had(this is the previous),and they haven't been succesful.So i am looking at being relisted,rather than optimistic.Although,the Spagheti is away being polished at the moment!!

She is a big old brute,which is why i trailored it to RTL,i new i couldn't do the ride up there AND the ride out.100-150m is my limit,then i potentially become a danger to myself and others.That is not what i want.

We shall see what happens in the new year,but those wanting an SP5,it COULD be your lucky year in 2007!!

[Jasper]

Not forgetting i had two ops on my elbow(3rd in the next 8-10 weeks!!) in september /november of last year.

Get a grip man......Ive had worse injuries sanding floorboards!

I know how much pain yopu were in (it seem to recede though the more you drank) at RTL ......here's to a speedy recovery and hope the bike stays with you......I know how much care and attention you've put into her. She is a bute!!!!! A one of!!!!

[Jasper]

Thanks Davie.I wasn't drunk,the last pint was "off"!!

Seriously hope you can persevere with it Jasp...

Having spoken to Rich a few times about his numerous visits to various doctors and operating tables to try and get this problem sorted once and for all and without bits of bone ineptly left in joints etc I can see why he has very little faith in it being right, but hang in there mate....

Miracles do happen.......

It looks like very early days and unless the doc has told you something that you aint told us, there is hope that you can regain some strength enough to ride the old SP5 again......Keep at it and the physio. Fingers crossed 4 U.

Best wishes Rich.

If not,i fancy an old 750 F1!!
