I pull it up, and it holds the throttle bar in while I start the mower, then when I grab the throttle bar, it slides down meaning that the mower is safe again.<br/> <br/>...

Re: sex stuff

Re: Setting up your Bicycle!

Re: Exercise
<t>I think I might just be lucky with my shoulder, but when I was doing a lot of physio, I used a hook designed for weightlifters - it straps around your wrist.

Re: sensory nerve graft
Sensory nerves? Are you sure? I had an intercostal nerve transfer in 1986, and that was to give me some bicep control, so I can lift my arm now. Seemed to help with the pain a bit, too.

Re: Motorcycle accidents.
I'm coming in to this late, but yeah, mine was a motorcycle accident too. CB125J (I was 17, and learning - that's all you could ride in the UK then), October 1985. Generally mashed my right hand side, including a BPI.
I still ride a DRZ400SM, as it makes me happy )
