All good Stimpy, just going to take me awhile. Have not been able to locate where the bike is stored yet.

[Bodø Glimt]

Have not been able to locate where the bike is stored yet.

I can sort of relate to that after being rear-ended in 2012.  The insurers deemed it a write off and eight or so months later I got a letter from the licencing office chasing up number plates.

[Kev Murphy]

Bike has now been found. A mate from Port Macquarie did some homework on the phone this morning and I now have a location and phone number.

Glad you are Ok Kev.  Hopefully they can get the rusty old knee replaced with a new stainless one so you can be up and around very soon

[Kev Murphy]

Thanks Tony. I asked the doc why they don't use monkey knees for replacements instead of stainless steel?
He looked at me, puzzled.
I declared "Stainless is so expensive, whereas you get two 'ape-knees' for a penny!"

Reaction?... face palm..

Ha Ha. That's the kind of joke you should tell the surgeon after the operation.
He"ll cut back on the anaesthetic now.
I wonder how many of our younger members will struggle with its meaning.
Keep smiling.

[Kev Murphy]

Well, the surgeon that looked at my knee in 2009 said that they could pump it full of silicone every 4 months, at a cost of around 10k per year,
to which I said "TEN THOUSAND? ... I can get a WHOLE TUBE of silicone from Bunnings for $2.50?"

[Bodø Glimt]

I wonder how many of our younger members will struggle with its meaning.
Keep smiling.

Nice to know I am still young.

[Nigel]

Gee Whiz Kev, its the last time I ask you to sleep over......... ...................Came as a big shock..Get well soon . 

PS If you buy in bulk you can get silicone for around a dollar..

Tittybong? Guess it depends on the accent 

I rode to Warrnambool the following day via Tittybong.
(I only know this now because I am going through gopro footage and following it on google maps).
