Good luck with the op Dennis. I had a biopsy carried out on my right ear a couple of weeks ago and it is still too painful to even attempt to put a crash helmet on! Carpel tunnel issues, you must have been a MGP or Superbike racer, a true motorcycling god  ;)

Now that sounds nasty

Hopefully I can get the Honda out for a ride before the end of the good weather, I go in for the first operation to get a new thumb joint in May (left hand) with the right hand following after that. At the moment I can only make about a mile before the pain in my right hand stops me dead.

Cheers

Dennis

All the best with the operation Dennis.

Thanks Ted, not looking forward to it but am fed up now with being restricted in what I can do.

Cheers

Had 20 miles on the 750 today, it’s the first run since winterisation and it felt great. I’ve been slow getting out this year as I’ve had a new shed build with a little project inside it and the other bikes haven’t been able to get out due to some garden work. They’ve spent most of the time living in the house. Normality has been resumed.

Nice one! Looks as if you’ve got some nice weather too! Haven’t had my 750 started yet this year but first chance I get I will get it out of storage fit battery and give it a good check over and out and give it a good warm up!😜

Hope the result is a negative on biopsy Dave. I had similar about 8 yrs ago on right ear about 10 o'clock position, with no further action.

Nice bit of blanket stitch though  :) and all healed invisibly now.

Thanks Nigel.  Mine was in the same place as yours! I got the 'All Clear, No further action required' letter on Wednesday, a full four weeks early so I was a happy bunny. Just got to let it heal properly now before I get back on the bike. They said it was sun related damage which is wierd because I have always used Factor 50 sun lotion (i.e. a blanket) but apparently and according to the dermatoligist, sun damage occurs between the ages of 2 and 10 years old and we didn't have sun lotion back then!
