[Dave48]

Glad you are out of hospital & home now!
Suppose they will be erecting a sign "Crisps Corner"?
Theres a 4 letter word they paint on the roads around Wales-begins with "A" & ends in "F"-ever seen it? :lol

Fecked if I want a hedge trimmer now it handles like shite.

Errrr, me and Noggy may have jinxed you Nick http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,16308.0.html    buuuut tough, shit happens  :lol :lol

Glad to hear you're out and can be fixed up......again! Ever considered a trike  :rolleyes





You and Christo could have days trips  :lol

Just to put the record straight 

This little trip into the undergrowth was not because of the bike - a momentary lapse of concentration on my part, all down to me. We'd just about got to Newtown, and that bike was handling beautifully. I had actually eased off a bit when I came off; looked back at where I was going, to find it just too late to correct and save it  :rolleyes  Once again, a low speed spill where circumstances contrived to ensure that once in the situation, I just couldn't get out of it in time. At one point, even running along the hedgerow on the grass verge, I thought I'd get it back on the road, but somehow I slipped/was pulled back on the seat, causing me to actually open the throttle, and I wasn't able, for just a fraction of a second, to let it go. I dunno, hard to put everything exactly into sequence in my head now.

I'm just now hoping that the back injury doesn't affect me too badly in the long term. I already had some back problems accumulated over the years, making some things hard work (like washing the bike for instance  ), but was managing ok. The X-rays and scans they did this time around confirmed a number of compressed etc vertebrae from previous times, some possibly as a direct result of injury, some from more indirect use having to carry for so many years other injuries elsewhere. At the moment, I'm fine after taking the shit-load of painkillers I've been prescribed and a bit of a rest, but this morning, feck me, that wasn't fun to wake up to!

I don't need anyone to jinx me fella; I do that quite adequately all by myself  :\ I dunno - I know I should ease off a bit, but when I get on those lovely winding roads, I just can't seem to help myself. Thank feck I have no dependants to worry about, cos I'm sure one of these days it'll be end-ex for me.

But, d'you know, I was having so much fun up til the point where I realised I was gonna hit the deck that if I'm ever going to go, this is the way I would want it to be. In hospital, I sat and watched an old fella die of a chest infection and other complications - if that's dying of old age, you can keep it. Sounded like he was trying to breathe underwater at the end.

I once said that the day that all I can ride is a scooter, I'd quit two wheels. I think the same would apply to trikes.

Thanks again to all the well-wishers. Dave48, half the bleedin country would be named after me if we were to go down that route!  :lol I thought ARAF meant "go for it, you riding God"  :lol

[slimwilly]

Get them pills in ya !!! :lol :lol

Don't dwell on it too much,,just another slip up ,,there would of been a few more by the end of summer.

Best foot forward,wheel I mean,,,looking forward to riding with you again,,wont be long.

[Robbie8666]

got to say Nick that I agree with you in that if I gotta go then i'd rather it be doing something I love & enjoy than other ways!
glad your on the mend & hope you recover soon to enjoy the thrill of 2 wheels! (some of those scooters have big 600 engines in them and don't half shift!! so don't discount them out right!)
