Expand I doubt I do anywhere near 6,000 miles per year, the tester said they were starting to crack and perish around the wheel rim, must be in the inside as the outside looks fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 2300 kms/1400 miles in nearly 9 months for me on the bike. As you know there's reasons for that.....heat, Covid, Long Covid, severe flu, bad Winter, and running round after my boy and his family. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted March 16, 2023 Author Share Posted March 16, 2023 And I don't think I'll be far behind @Tango As you know I injured my stomach and back muscles with the horrendous cough I had with the flu. Unfortunately the damage went further......I now need a hernia repair! I actually had a hernia operation on the other side as a young child which left me with a huge scar......which has faded away over the years. However, it appears it's all done by keyhole surgery and local anaesthetic now and they cover the tear with gauze......takes about 30 minutes apparently. The papers have been put in so I just have to wait to be called by the hospital. I always fancied having my nuts held by an attractive early 30's Spanish bird.......but a hernia examination wasn't really the circumstances I had in mind! But at least I had the experience, and with the wife looking on as well.......and I'm not in the shit! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
