Still, his adapted Dr Big with all the controls on one side is quite an achievement and he's back out there with us. Sobering thought though...

Yeah, can be pretty scary. BillyC also didn't manage to avoid a lorry, but he got away with his bits still attached.

I'm not greedy. err, well, ok, maybe I am, but I'm not giving either of them up just yet.

It's not like I've learnt anything new, except maybe just to learn to be a little bit more coordinated. My hand just slipped off the clutch lever. I was probably trying to do everything a bit quick and cocked up the rhythm.

Glad you are OK, Michael. Take it easy.

As I fell, I saw myself heading over the white line, just as I hit the deck I had a good view of a big black car tyre coming straight towards my head, I ended up having to curl into a ball (in the middle of the road) to avoid getting squashed.

Glad you're alright fella!

Muppet

I've got a spare front indy for a pointy if you want it - no plug on it but nothing that a numpty with a soldering iron can't sort out.

I'm in Soton tomorrow (near the new Jury's Inn hotel at Charlotte Place) - let me know and I'll put it in my tankbag for the morning.
