Heal up fast. You tear the ligament recently?
Your 10-12 weeks is a little less than what us people up north are having to endure. I haven't been riding since early December, and that was just to fill up the tank for the fuel stabilizer. I figure it won't be until mid-to-late March until I ride again.

I had arthroscopy done on my left knee first week of January. Finally able to swing my leg over the bike and took her for a ride yesterday. Upper 50's and roads covered in sand and salt...

Which procedure did you have done? did they use part of you own achilles (or other tendon) to repair the ACL or did they use a cadaver doner?
I had mine done with a cadaver on my right knee and was feeling good enough to ride in about 6 to 8 weeks.
