#sigh# Loved the amusement on his face when I came home from work...see how long it takes Maria to figure out there's no SV in the garage

I'm just glad the it's got away so lightly considering (and I suppose YC too ). That corner always has a nice patch of gravel on it, bit of an unfortunate mistake. He's a bit sore now...

Ha, no chance! I rubbed it in by riding to the pick up point and having a jolly old hoon home after

Recovery what now? Why do you think he has a van to conveniently pick up his pieces...he says it's for work purposes but I beg to differ lol

Not what I initially thought, I was giggling before I finished the photos, but then I saw the tyre mark in the gravel on the last photo and realised that couldn't have been what happened. I was thinking along the same lines as Boatman I think.

Still, no oil filter for me, but I'd have so laughed if you had hit the wall a few feet earlier, toppled over the top, and landed in the river.

Glad you're OK though.

Nah, any swimming antics should be left to your expertise on all things involving bikes and water

Ralph, I will have you know YC is a qualified scuba diver and would be quite at home in the river, not so sure the bike would have known what it was, after all its been that long since its been washed
