I know it has to be done but I hate to see him suffer. I wish that I could take his place.
He's already been through so much with a heart transplant and his mum running off and leaving him.
He's such a good child too.

Sometimes the world seems so unfair.

Late night rambling, i should be in bed.


my best wishes to the lad and you. having a dodgy heart I know some of what you're/he is going through....

Again thanks all.
He's back at home now and fast asleep.
He has a couple of blood levels off so will have to change his medicines and will probably be sore for a few days but otherwise is doing well.

Here he is, from a couple of weeks ago, enjoying one of his favorite outdoor activities.
He genuinely loves to ride.
I don't where he gets that from?

Brilliant, must be such a relief to have him back home safe and sound Bill.
Can't imagine where he gets the love of riding from though.

More of a brown trouser moment than a gripe. I was riding the VFR along a single track road near Llangollen towards an old mine called Worlds End.
Up ahead the road does a sharp left turn uphill and crosses a shallow ford at the same time. Not a problem thought I until entered the ford, the rocks were as smooth and as slippery as hell, it was like driving on sheet ice.
I daren't brake, turn or touch the gas but managed to get across, turned and keeping enough momentum to get up the rise as well, coming to a rest against a grass bank on opposite side of the road. Phew..

Treated myself to pie and chips in the Ponderosa and had a chat with a one legged SV rider from Stoke.

Then got caught in a downpour coming home.
