Getting back to it.

[TenRider]

Been laid low for 4 months due to smashing my knee in a dirt bike incident. Doc fitted me with new jewelry, plate 9 screws and long process to walk again as the incident also ripped my hamstring muscles off the bone in my left leg. Didn't know if I could ride again but yesterday picked up my tenere from the dealer. Rims had to be replaced, cause I damaged them in the Tragic ride. I rode the bike home and to work in the rain and tentative as I was it put a smile on my face. Still limited in movement, like being able to stand on the pegs but I set myself a goal.
Put myself down for the Bridge to Bridge next year.Seven days to get from Melbourne to Sydney. Should be a cracker of a ride. Even if I take the easy path. Excited !

Ouch! And good for you! Yep, those first few steps are the hardest, and I hope you are getting physio? When recovering all I did was go to the garage and sit on the bike to see if I could get on. It just takes time. ::008::

Mate all the best getting back into the saddle (so to speak) ... rehab can be a bitch and it sounds like you did a decent job

The Bridge to Bridge sounds interesting but unfortunately April always corresponds to my annual NZ work trip and so it's unfortunately out for me

Look forward to seeing you fully functional and back on the road soon ::001::
