Hi all
As the title states I am after some advice from people who have had this done and are still riding
The reason I am asking is that about 20 years ago I had a pretty bad motorbike accident and beat myself up pretty bad, my hip and pelvis had three breaks in it plus a few other injuries. They stated as I got older the socket will get a fair bit wear in it and it will need to be replaced. So that time has now come, after racing the Mount Beauty 6hr 2012 solo and SS I pulled up a bit more sore than usual so after the many visits to the Doc and laying off riding to see if would come good I was sent to specialist. He took a look at my X-ray and looked at me and wondered if was my X-ray as I am only in my late thirties and stated that he needs a replacement but due to me being young that he would line the socket with a ceramic and it should last the rest of my life.
As we all know what they say and the truth can be different I am just wondering if anyone has been through this and how did you pull up, were you off the bike long and how is the riding now.
