Thanks

Hi all

Just like to say thanks to all that wished me luck with the back operation

Had it today and it was going to be just a removal of some small amount of vertebrae bone to ease the pressure on a bunch of nerves

Not so simple yes shave off a bit of bone but had to remove some of the disc too as it was rather knackered

I was told they may change tact once I was on the table, and one thing I always say is there is always someone worse off than you so be positive and be thankful for what you do have

Think I need to change my name to “Old bike engine” as it seems until you take it apart you don’t know what’s else  fooked

Oh well at least the op is over so I should now be on the way back up just may take a little longer

Take it easy everybody and have good Xmas and new year

Best wishes Al

Hi Alan.
I hope the recovery from the op goes well.  Take it easy, good excuse to relax for a bit! 👍🍻🙂

Best wishes for your recovery Alan, always amazes me just how skilled people working in the human repair field are.

What we want to know though is,  what shell bearing colours were in there from  original build 

[Rozabikes Tim]

Yes take care and get well soon. The down time will give you opportunity to think up some more fab engineering to wow us all with!

Best wishes Alan.
I had exactly the same op a few years ago L3.
Six weeks recovery and TAKE your Time 

[Laverda Dave]

good luck with the recovery Alan. Just sit back and enjoy the turkey, pudding, nuts, drinks, quality street, mince pies, selection box and twiglets. You won't get bored!

Thanks all

Just got home

Oh well think the rear disc conversion is going to have to sit a while when the final bits are being made. But as the Race Tech stuff has a six week lead time as it’s supplied by shock tech in the Uk  but has to come from the states I shall get on with that order so it’s here when fully recovered

But just received a nice prezzy to cheer me up

Got the fork adjustable preload units today that look well made and include air preload too






So will put them away ready for the race tech kit

Excuse “nurse willow” in the background

Best wishes Al

Wherever did you find those, I was going to convert some standard ones but those look great.

Hi Oddjob

On eBay



I tried everywhere and then contacted a seller who did load of types and he sells these for the CB400F and the CB350F

Quick delivery too

Ehyup Al.

Glad to hear you're off the slab and chipper with it, well done mate. Take your time to getting better buddy, it's always the most frustrating route but very much the best route. Go steady and get planning!


All the very bestest
