I genuinely don't know. No white lines there, no manholes, didn't spot any diesel or oil, but it was almost dusk and it was by a petrol station. We'd both just pulled away so weren't doing more than 15 mph, the front end slipped as I was leaning right so could either lose the bike or straighten up and hit the car, so I chose the latter. The guy was fine about it though, he said it was a company car and they'll propbaby not bother claiming for such light damage so I'll wait and see. Poor bloke was taking his mrs and newborn kid home from hospital too! :\

Remember to use that toe to hit as many surfaces as you possibly can over the next 6 weeks while it is trying to heal.
Especially remember to get the toe cought up in the duvet cover & if theres a baby gate in your house be sure to kick the bottom lip of it for the first time ever & then continue to do so every day or so. :lol
:lol Yep, done thatall last night. Got back from the clinic today and was told it was just a fracture. That was after getting it hit by a hospital bed and a wheelchair. Plus my cat loves jumping on it in bed.
No more riding for me this side of Christmas! :'(
Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
Got it very dirty :rolleyes , had arranged to meet a friend at Compton Abbas for hot chocolate, dont usually ride on wet roads either :eek , still all ok cleaned and back in bed now phew :thumbup didnt need heated grips either :lol
Had shiny new Motad downpipes fitted to replace the originals which had rotted and blown a hole.
Yay! Can't tell you how pleased I am this went smoothly... was really worried about exhaust studs snapping so got CMC to do it and they did a really good job of it, no major problems.
Isn't it funny how as soon as you have a problem you kinda fall out of love with them... then as soon as it's fixed it's all good again. Did sound kinda nice with the hole though, burbling away all the time :rolleyes
bent my rear brake lever back to near correct position. It started to crack a bit so will need to remove it, get it fully bent back to shape and weld it.
Met slimwilly at Gloucester and took a run down to Cheddar Gorge. Nice and easy, just good to be out and about. I owe you a cheeseburger Bill! :thumbup
The road has some VERY tight bends, and what with tourists, cyclists, climbers, traffic everywhere, we couldn't really have much fun on it. And there was a diesel slick around one section! Up, down, coffee. Then up half way for some snaps, and back down, head for home.
Bill tried to beat me in top gear roll ons on the M5, but the second time he tried it I spotted him knocking down a gear - he's a sly old foccer! So I did same, nowt in it.

First time caught me out - I didn't drop a gear, just wound it on so there was a little delay before it got going. Second time is when I spotted you cheating - I was ready for you that time! Third time? Didn't notice a third time - did you forget to go faster?!! :lol
