6 months to the day since I had my little fall, I took it for a spin on some private ground and found that, with enough painkillers down my neck I can actually ride again.

Just to be able to do some tinkering on her would be nice but don't have the dexterity in my hands just yet
Once rode to hospital with my leg in plaster. Doctor wasn't happy for some reason
Quote from: joebloggs on 30 October 2015, 01:17:37 pmOnce rode to hospital with my leg in plaster. Doctor wasn't happy for some reasonThat reminds me of a time I was playing 5 a side football with a group of friends/family.Done in my cartilage in my right knee and hobbled to changing room, put on my bike gear, then rode 20 + miles home, to be greeted by the (now ex) wife, who had to try and hold the bike while I made sure it was put away in the garage. Then she took me to hospital, all in it was pretty sore but deffinetly couldn't move my leg once I got home, just as well it was only resting on the right footpeg, don't know if I'd been able to change gear if it was the left leg

Picked the bike up and rode it straight to the dealer to order replacement parts. Got a cast put on the wrist afterwards, supposed to immobilise the thumb, but I deliberately broke the loop of it that went around my thumb so I could ride the bike. I could only get a thin inner glove over my fingers - they got foccin freezing riding up the M11 to work

I am thinking of a light purple shade...
