Happy Bikeday Soulkiss !!!!!!

Well as of today, I am now 2, as on the 14th Sept 2006 I got my license.

In that time I have met loads of nice virtual people on the .org, many of them for real as well thanks to 2 AR's.

Had 2 SP30's, and one nice chat with an officer while sitting in a hospital.

Dropped the bike at a standstill 4 times, twice on the way to an AR, once at a junction and once outside my garage.

Had one example of why you need to remember to take your disk-lock off, saved thanks to Jambo's ZX-6 and the .orgers who came and hauled me and the SV back upright - also learned that R&G's are not much use as seats.

Had 2 occasions where I left the company of my bike thanks to "private hire drivers", one a week after getting my SV due to grabbing brakes on a wet road, another a week after that, my 1st stoppie when a minibus pulled out in front of me from a side road.

Then they started to hurt, with a high-side breaking a collar-bone, then loose gravel claimed little finger and a thumb, broken and dislocated repectively.

Then we have the only time another vehicle has been involved, which killed my SV (well hopefully only knocked it out, waiting to hear) and caused me to go down the path of Zed.

So 24 months, 3 of which unable to ride and 20k miles later, I'm 2.
