... to eat all the crap I could consume. Yesterday was back to normality with my diet and exercise regime. Yesterday was a simple 10 minutes of cardio before legs (squats, weighted lunges, calf raises, leg extensions) then a short cycle to ease the fatigue before a 30 minute swim. Legs don't feel too ...

Went out for a 60mile round trip with my observer before my cross check on Tuesday. Went really well, got caught out in a few showers but nothing major. Was actually good to go out in the greasy and wet conditions just to see how I adjust to riding ...

Decided to bring it home for Christmas as I'm of until the new year now. Hopefully will get out for a ride or two before it gets taken back to the brother in laws garage. Very unusually, it put up a fight at being started. First time I've tried to start it for at least three months. ...

Broken with tradition and gone to mother in laws house for dinner. We've prepared everything so it won't take long to get ready.

Strange not having my father in law about. I suspect they'll be tears before the end of the day.

I've been itching to read this thread. Went to watch it with my padawan...er, son this morning, a nice early start for a Maccy's breakfast before a 0810 showing. We decided to go for the 3D IMAX jobber. Glad we did, it does immerse you somewhat but the 3D glasses begin to hurt after a while. ...

Nothing much. Wifey is at work, eldest is at a friend's house. So I'm slobbing out with my son before we have to go out shopping.

Out this evening to catch up with a friend.

Cav when I was your age mate I had to do that to get school just to have a tab before registration

Its the variance between companies i find so strange. Some are very good at what they do, DPD appear to be excellent and let you know when it will be delivered the day before and we now even have an option for it to be left at the shop across the road and pick up there.

Day of xbox and Christmas films with my Lad's so I'm happy enough

Can you use it or do you have to not use it for a while? How long before it's supposed to be healed?

Your right Duke. I very much fancied a 2015 R1 next year buy this has put me off. My plans are now a year further back and looking at a nearly new 2016 R1 in 2017.

Well that is unless a 1299 Panigale enters my life before then

Today I was working my last day of this year (well, paid work that is!), I'm now officially on my Crimbo hols until the New Year!
Of course there's a ton of stuff to be done at home to get ready for the big day, but none of it involves getting out of bed before dawn breaks.

Really pleased it went well for you Blade, roll on 2016 now.! Got some good photos from inside my knee before and post op. Really interesting stuff. So, I'm not the only one who's fascinated by such stuff. :) Somewhere I have a picture of my own left knee, the patella in two ...
