Thank you John, I never thought that it would affect my riding but thats life, hopefully I can get something done about it soon.

Cheers

My wife suffers with that and really suffers in cold weather if she doesn't wear gloves. I used to work with a guy who also suffered with it. He said the vibration through the handlebars of his bike (MT09) made it worse bringing the symptoms on after only a few miles. He was advised by another biker to put fishing weights in the ends of the handlebars to deaden the vibes and it vastly improved. It obviously didn't cure it but he could ride for much longer before the pain set in.
Hope you get it sorted soon👍

Never connected that about cold weather but yes I also have to wear gloves all the time.

SWMBO suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as a young typist essentially a RSI problem from using the old manual typewriters - her 120 wpm speed must have made it worse. On a bad day she would loose the use of her right arm. Luckily the firm she worked for  gave free BUPA cover as a staff perk. Instead of going onto a 2 year waiting list after diagnosis the operation was done within a fortnight. Arm in a sling for a few weeks - no problem since.

Out and about in Montenegro. Hired a Kymco 125 for the duration of our stay, the perfect scooter for around this country. Not sure if we have any forum members living here but, if we do, you certainly do live in a stunning country.

That looks like the perfect machine for that type of surface Julie. Weather looks really good as well. Enjoy 8)

Another bike meet at Swettenham last night. Attendance was high, possibly higher than last week and that was the best I've seen.

Saw a few more interesting bikes so I thought you appreciate seeing some of them.

Start with the Hondas as usual and then go on to other makes that I thought good enough to take pics of.

A nice 750F2, for sale for £2900 IIRC





And the others, first off a pair of Turbo Charged Z1000s,





And it's predecessor.



Staying on Kwacks, been a while since I've seen one of these



Moving onto Yams.







Suzuki, spotted that one you were enquiring about Andy so took a pic for you.





Some for Roo, the Spondon Laverda Jota turned up last night so took a pic for you mate.





And finally some nice British Iron.

Some nice bikes there. From the cam end-caps the Suzuki looks like a 4 cylinder GS of some sort. Frame custom made. Swing arm has an unusual shock mount too....and the exhaust looks loud.

Both Laverdas  look amazing....and the top box on the BSA is beyond words...expect to see it in the next Wallace and Gromit film!

I got to chatting with the BSA rider, it's a 1954 frame but the engine blew up and it was replaced with an A10 engine, means nothing to me, I know nothing about British bikes, they never interested me so I didn't bother to learn, there was a sad story with the bike though, the previous owner was killed recently in a diving accident, only 59. He's the one that built it and was president of the BSA owners club I believe.

For those living within reach of Bristol, it's Fowler's open night

The 1st Friday of the month is their Bikers night,

Yes I went for a ride today, got home, and totally forgot about Fowler's night,

Some cracking bikes there Ken! I’m sure that top box on that BSA has got “Bread” on it somewhere.🤣 Sad about the guy that built it! Very impressed that there doesn’t seem to be any oil on the ground underneath, which is a trade mark of the old brits normally.
