Mike.
Sorry mate, I feel really guilty for not noticing you struggle with the bike

I was too busy looking for a gap in the traffic

Hope the scratches will polish out.

oh no's. We all did so well. Two dropped bikes? Hope the damage was minimal.
I'm usually under them when I do it!

I know the nhs will repair you for free but is it worth the pain of throwing yourself under the bike to protect it?!

Buy some crash bungs

Oh, nice smooth riding at the weekend too

No worries mate, I was glad to help, I saw Paiste waiting to pull out then spotted you on the floor, was the water just out of the radiatior overflow and not anything too serious?

Last time Suzy fell off the sidestand, she pinned me up against next doors back door, and twisted my knee round nearly dislocating it

couldn't climb stairs comfortably for days!

Thanks had one or two wobbly moments in front of Pete, but I musta covered it well!

What about the bloke done for doing 173 mph on the A515 north of Ashbourne, then? In a car that wouls ( apparantly ) only do about 125?
Trust me, Your Honour, I'm a Police Officer.
Try as I might, could only get 49 out of my SV & travelled that road twice yesterday. Yes, I know, some claim pointies are quicker, but the lack of pace was ebtirely down to me - I forgot to change gear. Experiments later in the day showed there were FIVE more gears to play with but until then had super acceleration & fuel consumption was about the same as Quiff!

I had a quick blast out in the morning, but had to deliver Mothers days prezzies in the afternoon.
