Good news that your back on the bike. I assume this is your choice and not the surgeons

yeah im sorry guys I was really loking forward to this tuesday. I deliberatly didnt tell anyone i had gone out and got another bike last week (i got it not the friday just gone the one before that) so i could show up on it on tuesday but and be all cool and stuff

Then last tuesday i started to feel a bit ill at work around 3 by the time id stuck dinner down my neck at 8 it was really hurting but being a hard man i though, its probably just a sprained muscle ill get down the docs in the morning. Morning of wed came, went to doc she said 2 paracetamol and plenty of rest, my brain said A&E who went right lets rip that out. The surgen said is was the worst one she had ever seen apparanetly a whopping 15cm long and about as wide as a bottle of beer. It was "gangrenous and on a scale of 1 to 10 a definate 10" Only got out today but im feeling a lot better.

So with a bit of carefull work i should be able to get allong to the next one given ive got a bike that runs now although i really need to sort out the front brake so if anyone has a bleeding kit and thinks they can do it in a pub car park then im game to give it a go. The brakes on this thing are so spongy its unreal and it twas a bargain.

Where's the "Yes - So I can try and come up with some lame stories that are even worse than Jon's" option? I should be there.

Unlikely I'll show my face - stuck in Norwich (!) on Tuesday and then on to Geneva - so someone else will have to take the **** out of Jon in my absence.

I nominate the rich kid.

Fat brstd, you nearly died if you appendix was like that. How's that for a nice thought! I should be able to come, dunno about Phil yet, but I think Stu wants to come too as he has finally fixed his Guzzi. Should take me about 10 minutes to make the trip with him in front provided I don't stack it!
