    I dont see where it would hurt as long as you take it easy. I screwed my shoulder up pretty good back in the day and i still rode, i just didnt haul ass or go over rough terrain.

    hell i rode with my leg in a cast and string attached to the shifter so i could shift up, when needed to shift down, just hit the shifter with the cast. but i was stupid back then and didnt care to much.would i do that today, probably not. you know digity, you were there, and i even believe you were in a brace cuz of the first time you screwed up the knee.

    Just be glad you didn't get an infection in that knee during surgery. A friend of mine did and she wore a leg brace for almost a year and had a total of 8 more surgeries. All because of an infection from the first one.

    the tri scat, now that is vintage!!! had some funtimes on that thing. the main thing i remember is the night when i pulled it over to start it and the throttle stuck wide open and it took off on me, remember that, hilarious!!!!! talk about ghost riding, thing almost took out the corner of the house and then went across the yard and flipped thru the barbed wire fence landing upside down and still was running. god, the good ole days.

    I had ACL and medial meniscus surgery June 1st this year. I wasn't able to ride a ATV until about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I can ride, but no crazy riding. I had PT for 3 months because my knee was messed up pretty good. I'm finally doing better, but it's been a slow recovery.
    I know other people that had ACL surgery and was back to 90% or better in 8 weeks. With me, it must be age. lol

    All in all I feel for you. Been there had that. Hope to never go through it again ( even though my right knee is now almost as bad as the left was ).

    when i was 16 i snapped my right femur in 2,still got the rod in my leg,needed a cane to walk for 6 months but still rode hard the whole time.couple years later got the foot caught in sled track and snapped my ankle real good and of coarse rode with the cast a week later.at 22 im at 14 bones broke,dislocated shoulder,i set metal detectors off and when old man winter comes i feel like an old man.

    take it easy and recover properly or it'll come back.

    oxycontin and cheeb doesnt always work either.
