any one heard how Firko is?

[Lozza]

That's great news Firko especialy that you got to kill two birds with one stone...............................................

[500Fool]

Getting older and it's associated peoblems is a bastard but better than the alternative. Having kidney stones myself all I can say is they are character building. Bloody Firko, has to go one better.......................30 or 40!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn’t that always the way, you go to fix some small problem with some old dunger and you end up having to fix all sorts of things.
Who would have thought that getting some suspension and frame work done would lead to needing a rod kit, did they check out the big end too while they were at it?
Hopefully the fuel pump and fuel lines are still working okay.

Don’t stop now either, keep going with the rebuild but make up your mind now about rebuilding as a racer or a garage queen.

I would suggest going for the basic racer as original parts would probably be hard to find as the original manufacturers aren’t making parts anymore.
You do have the option these days of many aftermarket parts from a variety of quality manufacturers, just don’t get too arty with weird cosmetics.
 

Seriously though, glad to hear you’re on the mend.

 Glad to here you've entered into the finish straight clear away, after a rough ride through the hazards!
 Just a couple more rough bits to skim over. Take it easy for a while in the pits now for a complete recovery.

Anyone who has dealt with long term, chronic pain will be pleased and a little bit jealous to hear that it all worked out well for you Mark.
One down with one to go.
Cheers, Steve

Out and about with em still about ta come out!  Cheers mate Tim754

[Rosco86]

Good to hear you're on the mend Mark. You're a bit like those bikes that get advertised that you think you can race straight away, and then upon inspection have to rebuild everything. Get well and Jo and I will cach up with you.

Hi Firko, it’s great to hear you are “OK”. Upside as Lozza expressed, you are able to smoke two pestilences with one shot, even if it is being painfully drawn out.
Chronic pain always sux, even worse when it taunts one with a loss of mobility. 

Sid Vicious was your doctor?(are you sure? Come on, I wont tell anyone, what was it they really had you on  )

Hey Firko my life is great! It will never be perfect, but it really is great(touch wood). Hopefully now, fingers crossed yours will be too . Tread steady and see ya on the starting line Firko. 

[Husk72]

After reading that story,I found I was busting for a piss,and with some trepidation I headed off for relief.All good though.
Good to hear your on the mend tho Mark.All the best for your next installation.


                                                                        Cheers,Mark.

Rang the great man a couple of days ago. Says he's having good and bad days but has been rapt with the support he has been getting from his many friends. Said he was feeling the urge to get back into the shed (very good sign I reckon!). Looking forward to CD9 and catching up with his subjects. J
