Well here goes. Had knee replaced June 6Th. Doc just gave me the OK to ride again. Looking forward to tomorrow six weeks is a long time. Think I'll ride over to my home town about forty miles away, Weatherford,TX and put some flowers on my Mom's grave.

If you can walk, you can ride, be careful and have fun.

I had my left one replaced in May. I was riding by the six week mark.
Just take it easy and pay attention at all stops. Start with some short rides.
Work your way up.
I was off work for 17 weeks. Just went back last week.
