Knee replacement surgery has a pretty painful recovery phase, so I'm pleased to hear she's doing so well.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Doc says the first 24 to 48 hours after the op are the worst......but everyone is different.

Well I certainly screwed up big time on Sunday.
Karl (met at Esk Sat) came around to have his towbar fitted , easy I says.
Start on job have extra metal for stays (no t shaped pieces) have look where to mount and need to make holes for metal bar,,,get out Dremmel.....
And proceed to drill hole,,,,,,,right thru side of Main Wiring loom  :cuss :cuss :cuss :cuss :|||| :|||| :cuss,
the feeling is not good and inspection shows about a dozen wires cut  :|||| :|||| :cuss proceed to solder and shrink wrap after stripping more of the tail light section to get more work area,
This all takes time and it was running out as Karl wanted get home, so it was RACQ and $95 later Karl is off, (I am covering the costs its the least I can do)
Calls later to let me know that he arrived home safely, and will either finish it himself or another friend will do it,,,,,
I learned ....when you have a stiff neck and only one eye working,, supply gear/tools/etc and let them do the work.
And although the mind is willing one must remember the physical attributes of ones body are not.
 Sorry Karl. and from now on I will only be doing my own shyte.

Tipsy
 
I am lost and haves gone to find myself
Now If I get back before I return
Please ask me to wait.

We feel your pain, Tipsy.  You set out with the best of intentions to help a mate and it all turns to worms.

Hopefully Karl is able to get it sorted easily and you can stop beating yourself up.   :beer

Stop whinging and jump on the bike.  If you ride NNE you'll have reduced the windchill effect and you'll be headed for here where it's a balmy 21oC.    :thumbs

I recently did a front tyre change and no dramas there but it looks like I might have forgotten to tighten up one important bolt. It's the hex bolt where the anti-dive and calliper bracket bolt together on the RH lower fork ((ABS model) see pic).

I rang the bike shop this morning and the bolt which had been on back order has arrived. Being posted today along with the parts needed for the fork seal replacement. Should be back on the road in a couple days.

Nah!!! The tool shed in the back yard is enough for the little bit of work I do on the bike and car.

If it wasn't for the shower of rain the screen would still be dirty......lol

Put it all back together a little later, went for a test ride and amazingly it all still works, even the brakes.
