that link was a good read crash n burn,what i thought was a healthy diet needs a rethink and reprograming the brain to get the right foods at the super market,maybe there is something in the link for all of us

I think we may be all missing the point. We partake in motorised sport, no?

Nobody said you have to push the bike, or run behind it. Only poor people walk, and lets face it - disturbed people jog.

I think you'll all be fine.

Fair point Rude man however some people with rooted knees ride Bultaco's and their a bastard to kick with that high mounted pivot point. Please feel free to reply with the obvious.............. Jerry

Pay someone. Preferably in single malt whisky and I'll be your start bitch.

Or you could get serious and build an all in one bike stand rear wheel roller / starter powered by a 400 Buick motor and charge all the oldies with Bulta-cos $5 to start 'em.

I reckon your return on inverstment is one two day MX meeting with three Bullys present (not including yours) they way they start.

God didn't give us knees to be brought to them. Walk on Jerr mo-fo (notice the whisky reference). We dont stop riding cause we get older, we get older cause we stop ridding.

Look at it this way, it gives you a great excuse to develop a pain killer addiction.

Warmest regards and affection,
ER

Yeah Matt it's food for thought.  If I said that I was running my bike on Elf mixed 50/50 with kero and a dash of diesel and putting the Black and Gold oil after it had done 20,000k's in the car into the bike and then wondered why it wasn't running so good.  I would get some pretty interesting response. 

But do the equivilent to your body, and it just seems par for the course.  I have watched people eat themselves sick and to an early grave.  Pretty guilty of eating bad myself.

I've had a bit of a win as far as my ankle goes. I had a meeting today with an American ankle specialist, Dr Todd Gothelf who has booked me in for exploratory surgery to check out the feasability of an ankle replacement on July 2. He seems to think that the best option is still a total antithoscopic fusion because of my age and high degree of arthritis in the joint but he's exploring all possibilities before we make the final decision. Seeing that I only have 20mm of total movement now, to total lock up won't change my life that much. The only problem is that because I can't straighten my foot out, I'll have a tough time trying to get my motocross boot on and off. It took three people and a lot of swearing and yelps at the HBBB. That's a minor thing though. Getting rid of the pain and off the narcotics is the main aim.

I'm sure there'd be someone out there who could alter a boot for you Firko. Never say Die. Good luck.
