Was tempting! Exup took him home on the back of his, won't be home yet I think.

Yep,sorry Adam, we peeled off through Chipping Norton & Burford, realised when I saw the signs that it was a lot more direct, and we were gasping for a cuppa and a sit down, talk through the days events. Hope we didn't worry you? If so, please accept my apologies. Everyone ok.

I'm back. Just abou to eat my curry and then watch moto GP on the iPlayer.

A few pics from today

Lunch break.



Christo's Fazer fell over and died.


Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

Holy crap... that's some pretty serious frontend damage, must have been one hell of an impact... what happened?!

Poor Christo, just as he'd got it running again...

As you can see from Kosmic's pics, Christo had an argument with a Merc and a Mitsibishi!
He's ok, he's like Marquez, just bounces!!

Unlike Marquez, I need to contact insurers tomorrow!

Thanks to all who helped me - especially Chris.biker, who has missed his vocation as traffic control officer!

From what I gather, the merc in front of me, which had been moving fastish emergency braked (reasons I won't discuss) - I ran out of road, hit his lights, and the bike went down under a Mitsubishi. Which will probably be written off too. The Mitsu did most of the dammage - took a lot too...

May I point out that it was not me who took control of the traffic, I think it was skippernick, and yes he did a great job.


Also the lady from the house at the site was wonderful.

Foc me, at least you're alright physically Christo - sounds as though its a similar incident to poor HarryHornby as well

There's only one thing to do now... get drunk, eat dirty dirty pizza and collapse until tomorrow

Indeed it was Skippernick - apologies, head still spinning. I blame the "painkillers" Kosmic gave me!

Tonight's plan, get home and sleep

Glad the pain killers worked and I didn't have to break out my under the sadle first aid kit that I always travel with....

and Christo I also did a bit of accident traffic management with skippernick, with him at one end of the crash site and me at the other end  :stop

There was no worries bud I waited a while and kind of gathered that was the better route for you guys and carried on home.


Besides the obvious I had a good day, not forgetting I get to wake up and ride a tiger, lols!
