    Yes my beloved SP lives again and a short 10 mile ride home after my accident in June last year :)

    Good to see all sorted, not long now to the season starts, a real cold spell at the moment even on the costa del south coast
    So plenty of time to glare at.

    Upper fork tubing (which was only scratched) was on back order from Ohlins for months, its not a standard fitment to the SP (Bigger) and manufactured in Japan. Honda themselves only supple the whole fork at £2000 which would of written the bike off, Ohlin UK charged only £300.

    Glad to see your back on..

    My legs ok, have pain up my leg (muscle pain) - starting physio Wednesday, so fingers crossed.

    Am able to walk around the house with out a stick - but outside i need one..maybe because of the cold...

    I have stripped my bike - well kind of the panel are off, have some parts i need to swap over etc...

    All good news then Sam, I'm still having pain in mine but each day it is getting less and less. Just started my in door climbing again too, first time tonight but only on a top rope just in case I fell, however have lost strength in both legs and had to modify my climb to suit the broken one but I'll get there just want everything back to normal again as if it never happen :)
