Thanks all
Went for a nice birthday lunch with the family followed by a round of Mini golf !
Depressingly, since September only ridden the bike for 1 week in December due to recurring neck/shoulder problems, so been purely a voyeur on the .org and not contributing. However did ride the SV a full mile each way to the dealer for service and MOT last week !
As for presents, my extremely thoughtful family bought me an electric Shiatsu Massager unit that you fit to the back of a chair, which they are are confident will cure me of all my ills
Seen a spinal consultant and just had an MRI scan. Follow up next week so hopefully will get to root cause and treatment options, which I guess will range from injection in the nerve, to surgery, to a pain ending bullet !
Have been looking at upright bike options with a view to trading in the SV in July when I get another years ncb.
I'm leaning towards a GSR750 at the moment, although the MT09 Tracer looks like a good do everything option.
Need to get back on a bike to halve my commute time and fuel consumption.
Sorry for the ramble - making up for lack of posts !!
Cheers
