Its a sad year
Well, I just got back from the doc's today and am putting the Ultra up for sale. I have not really been able to ride much in the past couple of months due to a knee injury. It seems that my knee is giving up the ghost when it comes to lateral stress, and they have opted to not do surgery at this time. I cant support the weight of the Ultra anymore. Aint gettin old a bi#ch. So if you know of anyone....

Mountainkowboy , don`t jump ship yet , the fat lady hasn`t sung ! Lets not go off half cocked. Wait alittle while longer and see what happens ......... Maybe you can see another doctor maybe theres a chance of knee replacement down the road ........ Just hang in there ! Don`t get rid of that old friend just yet ! Steve from Az.[sm=nono.gif]

Hold on to it if you can, the trike conversion may not be a bad idea. It might just be the thing to help keep your spirts up! Keeping your mind healthy and happy is just as important as your body...

And another thing you might consider if you can't hold her up anymore is a trike conversion. At least you'd still have the wind in your face!

I know how you feel ! I have got to go for an MRI Scan on my back, leg & pelvis to investigate a trapped sciatic nerve with the possibility of surgery.
Its getting more painful by the day when riding and I am desperate not to give in. Don't give up the bike yet as a couple of months might make the difference. I may be away from riding for quite a few months if I have surgery but I am determined to climb back onto the Hog as it's the only thing that aleviates the stress of work etc.
Good Luck

There's always the trike. I know it ain't quite the same but will still keep you in the wind. Hang in there Bro and luck to you what ever your decision is.

Yeah. A knee brace and maybe go to a Sporty. A Harley is a Harley. Just gotta change tactics. In any case, think on it a while longer. There must be something you can change and still ride.
