friesman Posted February 22, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2013 I am headed into hospital tomorrow to get a complete titanium implant replacement on my left hip:yikes:. Ive put if off for about 5 years thinking I would avoid surgery as long as possible but after dumping the bike about 1-1/2 years ago and landing on that hip, its gone down hill. My doc booked the appt and it looks like the best thing to do,..I am looking forward to being able to get around without a limp and without the pain that I have now. I was told by the docs that I should probably get a bike thats a bit shorter to make it easier on the new joint, so my 85 is gone and I am temporarily bikeless. I am looking forward to shopping around for a different bike once things heal up a bit and I can start getting around. Ok, nuff said, see you all online in a few days when I get outta hospital and back home. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted February 22, 2013 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2013 Good luck and do what the doc says. Sometimes they really do have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade 2000 Posted February 22, 2013 Share #3 Posted February 22, 2013 I hope you have a quick recovery:thumbsup2: My father and a guy I ride with had theirs done last year. They had great results the guy I ride with had a first gen, sold it because he thought it'd be a while before he could ride. He was riding a goldwing 3 months later. Dads was a little longer as he was born without a hip socket on his right side so it was fused back in '78 so his left hip has been overcompensating for a while. Needless to say with no good hip his recovery was slowed but he is better now than he has been in years. They can do wonderful things nowadays. Hope to see you on the trail real soon:Venture: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted February 22, 2013 Share #16 Posted February 22, 2013 Wish you a quick recovery Brian. That said, when better you might try swinging a leg over an RSTD. They do sit lower.... a lot lower than a 1stGen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
