bignev

Like Baph - mine in October was hit a dry stone wall head on or drop it going round a right hander doing about 50mph. I dropped it. The bike skidded along and i hit the wall instead. Hurt like feck for a few days and my big toe is still black months later (my only scar).

Good thing for me I think was that i was about 20 miles from home and had no choice but to get straight back on and ride it home. I hated every second of it. The next day when it came to going to work i was just about to step on the bus when i changed my mind and got the bike out. Best thing I did. 2 new tyres gave me loads more confidence too.

When you get a scare like that "off days" come quite a lot but they do disappear. Not completely though.
