Yup, good luck with getting things running again. How's the head doing after that medication shock?

Day 171,

Well time is really slow now, Dispite TSM & Dan coming around last weekend, an inprompt Jambo visit and a couple of lovely ladies calling by in the week (Anna & Ness), I couldn't get over each sunny day and missing (even to the point of justifying and very nearly getting a scooter ) the bike, OK can't get about with out the coming knee brace, just to painful, on that front, got confirmation of shipping of the knee brace, so that should be here soon, with any luck next weekend or the one after that should see me up my brothers finishing off the Triple, still no answer from work about returning, but I've another 15 weeks if I need it, so not an issue, but I'd like to start doing something from home.

send of the lists to both lots of soliciters (damage to me & damage to stuff) so we'll see what comes of that.

Back on the multi-gym yesterday, sore but good (if you know what I mean),
Looking at getting another bike (New tiger or the scrambler perhaps) but have to try a few out, and that's about it for now.

Heads Fine thanks (well apart from the scooter thing) but not something I'd be rushing to repeat

Cheers Mark.

The scooter is nothing to worry about... until you start considering the practicality of a scooter with a top box I wouldn't worry too much myself.

Might still happen, but only after I've tried the triple.

well it's happened, didn't go for the one I originally intended, couldn't bring myself to part with £500 of cash for a scoot,but a friend of mind had a friend who had a non-runner in this back garden and he arranged to bring it round, so Tuesday evening I became the owner of a Malaguti f18 Warrior (sounds all butch, doesn't it, trust me it's not), anyway it at least got me out to the front garden today,It's a bit beaten up but most of it's sound,could do with a good clean an probably needs new tyres for the MOT,freed up the throttle and checked the brakes, new battery/spark plug and a service, and got it to run, covered everything in WD40 and brought it up to temp, large cloud, but that's all good, I'll remove all the body panels tomorrow as the indicators don't work, god knows where the relay is?, anyway should see me right when it's done, not bad for £50.
(of course I wouldn't take it for a run around the block in the middle of the night, but if you did, you'd find it's really twitchy (small wheels) andyou'd only be brave enough to take it to 70 mph )

I'm sorry.

No. really. I am.

Very, very sorry.

In fact there isn't an emoticon that is bashful enough to convay how sorry I am feeling right about now.

Oh...


... why am I 'sorry'?




Um, well, I don't rightly know why, but reading Rictus' last post has just given me the giggles.

Full on giggling hysterics.


I'm only just calming down now and I may break out again at the slightest provocation.


So, as I said, for those that won't/can't fathom my reaction, I'm sorry...

... though I'm hoping any of the Wonky Knee Gang will understand.

Well mate I hope you get back in the saddle soon. Only met you a couple of times but those were memorable, you have great spirit and determination from what I can tell. Bloody glad you are still with us.
