Off Topic » New equipment- BHR

So I’m sitting in hospital awaiting a hip operation, I’m number 3 on the list tray. If all goes to plan I will have a BHR - resurfacing of the left hip and come the spring I’ll be back on my bikes, able to sit straight and ride for more hours! Fingers crossed.

I’ve had hip trouble since I was 14 and at 60 I’ve decided it’s the right time to get a replacement as the pain has started to affect my riding and my sleep ( and a whole bunch of other activities). My bikes are washed, polished and put away for winter, I normally keep them on the road but I guess it will be a few months before my hip is ready for riding.

Ive had friends who've been walking by the end of day 1 and jogging after about 3 weeks - secret seems to be don't feel sorry for your self and get active. Best of luck

Fingers crossed for you. And do what the Physio says

Good luck Nigel, hope you're up and about soon.

Hope you have a fast recovery

Thanks guys, my case is a bit complex so 6-8 weeks with no weight on my leg. Still that’s nothing in the scheme of life, looking forward to getting back on 2 wheels next year. Following the forum will form part of my rehab!

Hope you make a steady and full recovery and that there is plenty on the forum to keep you entertained

To help keep the forum active and you entertained during rehab, what engine oil are you using😊

Engine oil? Could we start a windshield thread instead!!

Or you could spend a bit of time on the bmw website see how much money you could spend configuring a new gs1300!!!
