Lefox, I had my knee done about 6 months ago. I'm 44. I was on my knees crawling under peoples houses for 14 years as a plumber and destroyed them. Hense the job change, I work in a hospital as a oxygen tech. The number of knee orthoscopic surgerys and total knee replacements is incredible and commonplace now. My knee feels better than it has in years and I am very glad I have had it done. I still ride my 1125 all the time. I have taken several 400+ mile rides and will be taking a 600 mile one next week. (I do have the XB drop pegs for it). I know it sux but its a part of life. As we get older we just have to be a little smarter and more careful of what we do. I used to race motocross and was the state vintage bike champion for awhile but when I would take a dirt sample next to a couple of teenagers, they would get up just a little faster than me. Oh well, at least I can still ride. I'm not an amputee who cant enjoy throwing a leg over a bike or worse. Cheer up Lefox, you live a great country, gaurded buy great people like xtreme so we can have the freedom to ride, and we have the technology to fix your knee so you can walk hand in hand next to a beutiful women for many years to come and hey, you have a pretty cool bike and you will still be able to ride it!!
