Dangerous motorbikes be buggered

[Mom]

In my experience, walking is far more dangerous than riding a bike.

First it was a ligament, now it is a broken ankle :yes:

I am giving up walking for good!

[mashman]

WTF did you do? You're turn to leap off the wardrobe eh :)

[Mom]

Just walking along and turned my ankle into a pot hole in the dark, *snap*

Friggen hurts like a bastard! It is my right ankle too, so I cant drive. Work are really happy about that :lol: 6 weeks minimum in plaster.

pot hole in the dark... I'm almost afraid to ask... but... ?

The bike isn't out of the question then :)... who needs a back brake

Its the white boot that will look out of place...:blink:
Could paint it black but, when the walkable cast gets fitted, maybe they can use black and save us the trouble?
Even a Hi-Viz vest wouldn't have saved this one...:corn:

[JATZ]

Paint some buckles on it :blink:
and your good to go......:scooter: Just watch out for the rain :shit:

I have had more ACC claims for injuries sustained while ballroom dancing than I have ever had from motorcycle accidents. (Course, errrr, most of my more serious accidents happened before ACC was invented...:blink:)

Reckon I should stop dancing..?

Nah - hell no - then I wouldn't get to hold on close to all those delicious ladies, eh...

Errr.. I mean..ahhh...oh fuck :facepalm:

I know she's not exactly brown, but damn, that ain't no way to talk about a lady :shifty:...
heh, aye a black cast may well be the better idea.
Was there alcohol involved?

[Swoop]

Even a Hi-Viz vest wouldn't have saved this one...:corn:
Rubbish! They save baby whale seal lizards from extinction and cure cancer.





Get well soon Mom!

[Ocean1]

Just walking along and turned my ankle into a pot hole in the dark, *snap*

Fucking Oww. I've sprained both ankles several times, including twice ripping anterior ligaments clean off the bone. I've still got bone chips floating around both joints.

You've got my sympathy, it bloody hurts.

[Fatt Max]

Not good, not good at all....

Still, at least you can wave.......

[FJRider]

If I were you ... I would avoid beds, you have no idea how many people die in beds each year ....

and toilets!!!

[Edbear]

First I break my back driving a van, then Katie breaks her neck, back and arm riding a bike, now you break your ankle walking... :blink:


Next...? :innocent:




Doncha know ankles are one of the most painful breaks you can do...? :sick:

[Mom]

Was there alcohol involved?

No, it was dark is all, and no lights meant I did not see the hole until I stepped on the side of it. It happened at Ruakaka Motorcamp, no street lights to be seen LOL.

[Kickaha]

Doncha know ankles are one of the most painful breaks you can do...? :sick:
Really?

Must have been lucky when I broke mine then, did another two races and walked around on it for a week before i got it looked at

Never broken mine but I'd imagine a simple break could be reasonably painless.

Significant soft tissue damage in areas where there's little room for swelling fucking hurts big time.

[Maha]

ouch, aieeeee......
poor mom,
maha keeping you comfortable???:innocent:

Remember the Energiser Bunny?..:Oi::clap:

oh you are a devil, you must enjoy this......

mind 6 weeks is a looooooooooonnnnnnnng time......

[ducatilover]

Bloody hell Mom, jolly good effort :yes: Heal well and all that shite.

[nodrog]

You should have paid your Taniwha tax.

[yungatart]

Bugger!!
Heal well...(be grateful you didn't break your hand at the same time)

[Zedder]

You've really started a major upheaval.

Now ACC will get a report going on the prevention of walking and pothole injuries.

They will start an investigation on how they can tax walking because it's obviously dangerous.

And to top it off all potholes will be required to have self illumination during the hours of darkness if not lit by street lights!!

[Mom]

maha keeping you comfortable???:innocent:

He is being wonderful! I am not good at being dependant, but as I have no choice a the moment, I have decided to accept my lot gracefully and ask for all the help I need. I am blessed with wonderful friends who have offered to drive me where I need to be, my youngest daughter who lives in town will go fetch for me during the day if she is not at work. I can see myself getting very spoilled.



Never broken mine but I'd imagine a simple break could be reasonably painless.

Significant soft tissue damage in areas where there's little room for swelling fucking hurts big time.

Well, I can attest to the pain, when I did it I knew immediately I had done damage, I could not put my foot on the ground and it doubled in size in minutes.

Right now it is sore (I have a couple of Tramadol on board though) but manageable. I am not allowed to weight bare on it, so my arms are sore from using crutches, I am not fit for that you see :baby:

I expect things will settle in a few days when the swelling settles. I also munted my left knee/calf which is swollen and has got quite a bit of skin missing which is not helping. Loose chip seal tends to do that with out ATGATT :laugh: Track pants were no match for it :blink:

[Mom]

Funny you should say that, the camp manager said he would have to look at better lighting around the place :shutup:

Raaaow! Pass the valium.

[gijoe1313]

:pinch: Crikey miss! Take it easy on the fun stuff! You always seem to be in the wars. I think you need to permanently ride a motorbike around to avoid this sort of malarkey! :no:

[avgas]

Zimmer frame for you now dear.

[Zedder]

Funny you should say that, the camp manager said he would have to look at better lighting around the place :shutup:

My apologies. Being a newbie I thought a bit of humor would break the ice a bit.

Wake up mate, this is Kiwi Biker. Welcome.

[Edbear]

My apologies. Being a newbie I thought a bit of humor would break the ice a bit.

The humour here can be a bit subtle at times, but we do enjoy a good repartee...! :yes:

[oneofsix]

New from ACC

All walkers must wear ski style boots to prevent twisted or broken ankles.
All potholes must be outlined in reflective paint 50mm wide.

Bad luck Mom, as they say ,get well soon just don't let on so Maha has to continue to make the hot drinks :shutup:

[Bikemad]

Funny you should say that, the camp manager said he would have to look at better lighting around the place :shutup:

mate of mine and his mrs just started work at said camp as assistant..........or is that assistant to the camp manager who i noticed is a rider himself.........he moved his looked like newish CB1300? perhaps,so my mate could stick stuff in the shed.....nice spot............will tell Mud to sort out the potholes...........dont hold ya breath...........get betterer soon

[SPman]

So....you're back on the bike then?

Sympathies - ankles hurt, big time.

[Banditbandit]

we do enjoy a good repartee...! :yes:

Who makes that? What cc rating do they come in? Can you wheelie it?

Is it sanctioned by ACC ????

How many demerit points can you collect if you don't do it ???

[Edbear]

Who makes that? What cc rating do they come in? Can you wheelie it?

How many demerit points can you collect if you don't do it ???

If one gets the right officer and conducts the correct repartee it works regardless of CC rating as long as you DO NOT wheelie it! :bye:

ACC need never know... :shutup:

Well I'll be a pickled jellied eel! Yes indeedy Mike is a biker of CB1300 fame, he rode Maha's and rated it good enough for him. We have been going to Ruakaka for many years now, I was not dissing the camp or its management in anyway shape or form, quite the opposite infact.

Mike picked me up and drove me back to our site, Ann-marie called the ambulance and directed to us. If you are going to do something as dumb as break an ankle at least having folk around to help makes it seem not so bad.

[Mom]

So....you're back on the bike then?

Sympathies - ankles hurt, big time.

Yeah, a lovely 650 Bandit. It will be a few weeks before I will be riding her again I am afraid. I went and had the cast changed today, still too swollen for a proper, walking one, so I cope.Got some decent drugs today, so pain is finally ok :sunny:

[fuknKIWI]

This motorcycle is dangerous:yes:

I had a call from ACC yesterday just getting the big picture of how this is going to impact my life. I expect to get a call from my case manager today or tomorrow. It appears that ACC will actually fund my transport to work once I am fit. It will depend on whether my work will take me back on crutches (I cant see why not) and even if I can do 2 days a week, it will make the world of difference to them. Payroll is a huge job Monday/Tuesday and if I can get in there and do those 2 days it will really help them out.

Want to be my case manager?

Sorry to hear that! Yep more injuries occur in or around the home than motorcycling.... it just tends to hurt a fair bit when coming off the bike at speed... especially the stopping suddenly part.

[Stirts]

So you gonna get into the ear of the Orthopedic Dr then? :wings:

Add hoovering to the list, nasty, really nasty.

[Mom]

Add hoovering to the list, nasty, really nasty.

Yeah I have always said hoovering was bad for you :laugh:

I bought plums on the weekend, for some reason they were really cheap, considering they are out of season. I intended to make Jam on Sunday, well that was not a happening thang. I could not see them go to waste though, so today, I have managed to get them in a pot, and cooked. Then Maha came home and we turned them into jam :sunny: He is a real whizz in the jam making department.

He is in the process of cooking tea, and at some stage he will help me have a shower :pinch:

He is a saint really, I cant wait for this ankle to settle a bit more so I can really show my appreciation. LOL.

[Edbear]

Yepper, Maha is not complaining either for some reason.

I never thought I would need rails in the shower at my age :pinch: I am thinking ACC may have to provide them, and in the bog too :facepalm:

[Mom]

You should have paid your Taniwha tax.

I just read your signature, is that like Plop Plops?

I got a shower stool and it was great! I also had a seat to go over the toilet and that was very handy for a long while!

[Gearup]

I just read your signature, is that like Plop Plops?

I thinks it's Swedish for Mom's a smart mouth bitch.

[Maha]

Yes, one you can stand on and one you would rather not...

[Mom]

No a pee...

Saves hobbling to the bog and all that involves, may as well use the shower, it all ends up in the same place :gob:

Of course I would never do something like that :shutup:

My stool is lovely, and you can step on it :yes:

[Mom]

I am amazed at the support I am being shown. I guess you cant argue a snapped bone, but all the same the speed with which things are being organised is amazing.

I have an in home assessment tomorrow, to gauge what hours help I need around the place. Maha has taken over all the cooking duties as well as my personal cares, on top of his job that is more than enough! In the mean time I have been approved 5 hours a week home help to cover off the washing and cleaning stuff.

I have an at work assessment on September 19th with a view to getting me back to work as soon as I am fit. They are a little pushy around that, but I am firm, I wont go back to work until I no longer need opiate based pain relief, I have to have my wits about me in my job, besides it is up to my Doctor to determine when I am fit to go back.

ACC will pay for my transport to work, not taxis as I am too far away from work, but will pay expenses for someone to drive me to work, until I am able to do so myself.

All this is just a few days since I hurt myself. Amazing!

For the first time I am claiming "properly" the response has been fantastic! Lets see how it continues...

Good on you! I found ACC to be very helpful and my Case Manager was/is a honey!

The funny thing is that my weekly compo was due to finish this week, now with this new fracture I have another month at least on another claim... :innocent:

[Grumph]

Careful, Ed, you're turning this into a career....and may well feature on talkback radio.
I reckon Ed and yourself Mom, should confine yourselves to racing mobility scooters...forget trying to walk, it's obviously too dangerous.

[Mom]

So, I have a new cast on, it is lighter and larger (longer anyway) feels wonderful. Oh, oh, I have numb toes this morning, luckily I have a plaster check. Debate on whether to replace the cast. Decision, to go home and attempt to warm the toes up, they are possibly numb from cold? Wheat pack warmed and re-warmed and re-warmed and wool sock and blankie :baby: my toes are finally warm :woohoo:

Pain is much more manageable, I am hoping for a decent nights sleep tonight, though I wont hold my breath.

Big thanks to everyone that has helped me out. I bought my youngest daughter a pair of new earings today as a thank you for being my driver this week, of course to my lovely man that is doing my personal cares as well as cooking (under supervision), and to Rodney Health Trust for the home help support. ACC have been amazing. Hope I have not missed anyone out.

[Blackshear]

though I wont hold my breath.



I can practically guarantee that holding your breath for an entire night will grant you the longest sleep you'll ever have :innocent:

Forgive me if I've not read enough, but how long after the incident is it before they let you bend the joints?

I once re-re-sprained my ankle when I was 12, I passed out from the pain 5 minutes later :sunny:

So, I am deemed fit to return to work for 4 hours a day :woohoo:

Anything is better than sitting home all day trust me.

That happened on Monday, today I was assessed at my work place to see what extras I need to be able to do my job. Nothing really, I drive a desk :yes:

But, I cant drive a car at the moment, so I need transport. I have just had my travel to work approved for 3 trips to work, and 2 home. Excellent, I dont object in the least to paying for my usual transport costs, so this will work out fine :sunny:

Only problem? It is only approved for 2 weeks :lol:

Excellent, next week and the week after I can go to work, after that I am not sure what will happen, I guess I will sit at home again :pinch:

Honestly, this compo business is just silly.

See how it goes for the two weeks and ask for it to be extended. You might find things not as easy as you might expect for the first week, though.

Hiya Cas my lovely. Yeah, pain in the leg really, but only 2 and a bit weeks to go in plaster so the end is in sight, and I had better be all good for Paeroa or I will have gone totally mental :lol:

Take care sweets, hug you when I can.

I have volunteerily opted for physio on my ankle prior to getting the cast off. I went to see my old mate Scott. He just shook his head at me. I took a couple of ligaments out of this ankle about 10 years ago, and it took forever to come right.

He tells me to forget about the previous injury, for this is NOTHING by comparison :woohoo:

I now have some excercises to do to recover the lost muscle, despite being in plaster still, and he reckons all things being equal I will be driving a week after the plaster comes off :sunny:

As far as riding Millie north, easy, peasy as long as the swelling is under control :scooter: It WILL BE!

I am happy as a pig in shit tonight :sunny:

You are leaving yourself wide open with a comment like that , ya know, hahaha:yes:

[Mom]

Tomorrow it is one day short of 6 weeks since I broke my ankle. It is 4 more sleeps till I am booked to have this cast off. I was told it needed 6 weeks in plaster. So...

My brain thought tomorrow was an option to get this thing off my leg, and the nurse agreed :Punk: :woohoo: :wari: :banana:

I now have 16.5 hours till this cast comes off :sunny:

Not that I am counting or anything :lol:

I have been walking on it quite a bit (I am not supposed to have been) :spanking: and it is really sore and achey today, all I wanted to do was rub it and I couldn't, I will be able to tomorrow.

Hope it is healed, not sure what I will do if I need to have another cast on :pinch:

I had a really good idea today too... Just can't remember what it was... <_<

If you're really careful, you should be okay but don't think you're going to jump up and down in joyful freedom for a while..

[Mom]

...but don't think you're going to jump up and down in joyful freedom for a while..

It is worse than that Ed. The ankle showed no sign of healing on the xray today, if anything it looks worse :sick:

I am back in plaster and off to see an orthopedic surgeon :facepalm:

Absolutely gutted.

That's horrible! :sick:

[Mom]

The first appointment I could get with an Ortho was November 27th. That was first thing this morning. I was resigned to another 5 weeks in plaster before a 2nd opinion was obtained. Then I got a phone call...

I can see his associate on Nov 11th :wings:

Hopefully when they cut this cast off it will be all better :sunny: Another 3 weeks will make the world of difference :yes:

In case this is not true and I need surgery :pinch: there is still time for it to be healed enough to be out of plaster by Xmas :wari:

We were planning a trip around the East Cape Labour Weekend, put that on hold due to my specialness. So we booked into the camp knowing I would be free of plaster.

I am not free of plaster, so tonight I have just reserved the Disabled bathroom facilities at the camp for the weekend and I will take my shower chair with me :pinch:

All I hope for now is that ACC will come to the party and provide transport that we cant do, so that I can get to work every day. Amazingly enough that has been a bit of a problem up to now :facepalm:

[Kickaha]

I have been walking on it quite a bit (I am not supposed to have been)



The ankle showed no sign of healing on the xray today,

Do you think these things were connected?

Were they able to tell you why they think it hadn't healed?

[Mom]

Do you think these things were connected?

Were they able to tell you why they think it hadn't healed?

First bit no. I have been encouraged to weight bear as soon as I could, it was only the day before that I actually struck up enough balls to "walk". I was told to be guided by my pain levels. If it hurt at night I had done too much, there fore dont walk was the instruction.

As far as why it has not healed? How long is a piece of string? There are many, many reasons why it may not have done and no doubt a smart arse will find reasons why my ankle has not healed up. You got any idea?

Nope I've got no idea all the stuff I have broken has healed up with no problems

Some pain relief medications like Ibuprofen apparently inhibit healing though, I was told to avoid them

[Mom]

Well you are very lucky then. I cant take anti inflamatory medications so that is not the reason.

I have just put Millies rego on hold for 3 months :weep:

That sux so bad. Still, more important to get healed up, stoopid bones what are they playin at, fuse together already, lol:soon:

[Mom]

Yes indeed. I am really amazed and delighted to report that I have an appointment to see an othopeadic surgeon on Wednesday next week. I was referred to the hospital and also given a letter of referral and a list of private surgeons to try. The quickest appointment I could get was November 14th.

Hopefully things will start moving next week.

[blue rider]

I have just put Millies rego on hold for 3 months :weep:

oh damn that hurts....

[Mom]

oh damn that hurts....

I have been forced to re-think my recovery to avoid massive disappointments in future.

Right now my goal is to be off crutches and walking unaided by the time we go camping in January. The rego on Millie is on hold untill 17-1-12, we go camping 13-1. Give me a couple of weeks at the beach, walking and swimming and I will be able to start riding again when we get back :yes:

I cant imagine this not being what happens. Anything earlier than this will simply be a bonus :sunny:

that is the right thing to do, it's just you like riding so much.

good to know that you will see a specialist finally, hopefully this will result in a better healing process.
and for what is worth, you have many a offer from just 25year olds to drive you around.....:innocent:

[Mom]

I went to the hospital today. The cast was cut off, and another x-ray taken.

Such good news! I have grown enough bone to come out of plaster and graduate into a moon boot :woohoo:

Another 6 weeks and I reckon I will be running :scooter:

[Mom]

It appears my physio was right :clap: He told me this was like a bad sprain, and nothing like the previous injury to this ankle.

It appears I can "walk" , albeit slowly, completely unaided and inside the house. My ankle feels really weird in bed with no support, but it is getting better every day.

I went out today for the first time sans crutches, with a moon boot and it was OK!

The stool (got to love that word) in the bathroom has been retired :sunny:

And best of all, I went for my first WALK outside today.

Even just that little walk highlighted to me just how much I have missed being able to get out and about.

I have discovered a small calf muscle starting to develop once again :wings:

Small things make for HUGE enjoyment and celebration.

I did something today I have not done in 2 months. I made a list.

A very short list to be fair, but a list all the same. It was of things I wanted to buy.

I was driven home from work as usual, and walked up the stairs. I am tired, I started work at my normal time today.

I put my bag down and walked back down the stairs. Walking down stairs should rather be described as creeping crab like, as the moon boot does not allow proper bending of the ankle and you have to go down sideways. I walked to the car, sat down in the drivers seat and took off my boot!

I drove to the shops, put my boot back on, walked in and purchased the items on my list, went back to the car, took the boot off and drove home :wings:

What a strange feeling, still need a bit of strengthening of the old ankle/calf to feel totally comfortable about driving to work, but I am now independantly mobile :sunny:

*I think I might try my bike boots later on* written in invisible ink, so Maha does not read this :innocent:

She chased Milanyon - HE dropped the apple so's Diana (or whater her name was) had to stop and pick them up.

That way he could win the race. (cos he had a gimpy leg from a war wound and couldn't run as fast as her)


(That'll teach me to listen to the Chidrens Request Session on the wireless in 1964....:shutup:)

I had to go back to the doctors for a further medical certificate for work. I am fit and ready so am wanting to go back full time as of next week. The next question is when can I start driving again. It is all very well getting driven around everywhere but the loss of independance really bites, and I have had enough of it.

I have been excercising hard out to regain movement in my ankle and am really happy with where it is at. Turns out the doctor is really happy too, so I have a full clearance to start driving again and can start back at work full time next week. Only rules are...

Wear proper supportive shoes to drive, and put the boot back on when I get to work to walk around in. I have been told to take it easy too :yes:

High friggen five! I am mobile once again. All I have to do now is get my bike boot back on and build up some muscle tone and I will be riding once again :wings:

[TLR4Lifel]

muscle tone
now that is funny :bleh: :laugh:

Imagine taking off your footwear, and walking down the hard pressed white sand to paddle in the water. I have been for the past 10 weeks. Yesterday I DID IT! What a fantastic feeling, very cold water rushing around my ankle, sand between my toes, bliss...

I tell ya, my bike riding is very, very sadly missed. I can at least drive the poxy car now, though even that proved a challenge the other day in the shittly, city traffic. I simply need to build more strength so I can sustain the throttle a little bit then brake, then throttle then brake, over and over and over again all the while busting a boil to get up the outside and filter :lol:

Another X-ray today. Apparently ankles are very, very slow to heal. Nearly 11 weeks and still the fracture is clearly visible. There is however some healing happening, albeit slowly. So I still have to take it easy...

Wonder when I can get a clearance to ride :devil2:

[Mom]

I had another x-ray today, and it is not healed :(

Still looks alot like it did the day I broke it really :weird:

Investigating options so I can at least get in the water when we go camping next weekend :niceone:

Anyone want to swap ankles for a couple of weeks?

[caseye]

Yer can have mine Mom, they're not pretty but they work even with the clicking and the joint pain.Shit mate that's rotten luck.Hope those doctor whalla's can get you mobile again soon aye.
Take care Anne.

[ducatilover]

I'll swap for a couple of weeks Mom.

I hope you manage to heal that bastard! (I know how you feel :facepalm: )
Best of luck.

[Mom]

I have worn out my moonboot.

It was a bit shabby before 2 weeks camping, but now it is simply dangerous :yes:

The sole is seperating from the actual boot at the toe, creating a really dangerous trip hazard. I cant stop myself from pitching forward onto my face if I really catch it :eek: The few times I have caught it have sent me doing "BIG STEPS" and praying :rofl:

I also have worn a hole in the liner <_< Velco hooks are not that comfy on your pathetically white and sensitive skin :pinch:

So today I rang my ACC care co-ordinator and explained myself.

She was surprised.

You dont wear these things out.

Well yes you do, if you actually follow your doctors instructions and keep mobile. I have done everything I can think of to keep active, and try to keep muscles sort of working. She told me to go back where I got it from and get a replacement. OK, an out patients clinic at North Shore Hospital? Just how long would it take to get an appointment there? She agreed that was not an option, so simply said, buy a new one and we will reimburse you :gob:

So, I have a new boot on order - I hope it is the racing variety :lol:

[yungatart]

Trust you!:eek:

I guess its not really like shopping for a new pair of shoes though is it...
Try not to wear this one out before you are done with it,eh?

[caseye]

More to the point Anne, get better girl.
Not a lot of riding for this fella yet either if it's any consolation.
Coal Burner still laid up with bad tank blues.
Nearly, oh so nearly.

One of the women at work had this most lovely pair of shoes on the other day. I thought about stealing them when she was not looking (probably would have needed to bash her to get her attention elsewhere mind) then I realised I could not wear them anyway *sigh*


More to the point Anne, get better girl.
Be good, ah, sorry, stay outa trouble, Na that wont work either aye.
Take care mate.

Yeah, sucks at the moment, I HAVE to be sooooooooo good LOL. Thanks caseye, I AM getting better. The last xray said "the partial union is progressing but not complete". I took that as a big positive, as before the comments were more along the lines of "there has been very little improvement etc..."

[FJRider]

... So, I have a new boot on order - I hope it is the racing variety :lol:

A nice Blue one maybe ... ???? :yes:

[Mom]

Yes indeedy folks, one hardly worn moon boot surplus to requirements :first:

Had an xray today, and amazingly enough, it has finally healed. 5 months and 1 week later I can start my rehabilitation at last :niceone:

I can not beieve the time it has taken to mend, but as they say, good things take time :sunny:

Physio starts asap and back on my beloved Millie in no time :wings:

Doc reckons it is as good as new and wont break again unless I put as much force through it as I did to break it the first time :pinch: Not a chance of that happening anytime soon :no:

Most excellent news young lady :D Your legs won't know ea other. That could be awkward... if they decide to not stick together :o

Like ... one either side of a bike you mean ... cant see a problem there ... :innocent:

[swbarnett]

Anne, you've just made my night. I was in need of some good news after a shitty day at work. VERY glad to hear it.

[Mom]

Very important things.

I cant get my foot into my boot!

My ankle does not bend enough :pinch:

Guess what I am concentrating on...

Imagine my frustration levels :brick:

[Mom]

God Millie sounds sweet :drool:

*sigh*

Bet my friggen gear does not fit anymore, I have gained a bit of weight laying about the place :facepalm:

[Mom]

[Lelitu]

Just going to check the tyre pressure front and back, maybe a little chain lube and off we go...Orewa/Waitoki/16/Woodcocks.

[Mom]

Gee Millie enjoyed that :innocent: She was a tiny bit rusty to start with, but by the time we got to Wainui she was back in the groove :sunny:

SH16 was fun, went for a wee slip on a tar snake, oops. Woodcocks is in really crap condition in places, stupid pea metal :pinch:

Ankle was fine, bum a bit sore on the bad side, a bit of cramp in my calf at the beginning. It does not like using the rear brake, might adjust it up a tad to assist.

Apart from that it was a fabulous first ride out, Mangawhai for lunch tomorrow methinks :scooter:

[Maha]

so what time we are meeting again?

10am...;)
I had a couple of rear wheel slips on w/cocks...one on a bit of dirt and the other on tar (really hot out there today) but they tend to be pretty cool moments most of the time.
Woodcocks was really busy with bikes.
Spankin' day to be out on the bike..1hr 20mins only but, first outting on the bike after five months.

How about you come here, say between 10-11am and we will go across woodcocks, up 16 and then onto M/Whai?
Carmel may be meeting us there.
If I had not had three beers, I would go for a night ride, its perfect for it.

[Mom]

I am riding, everywhere :eek5:

Hopefully tomorrow the old muscles wont be REALLY complaining, you guys have no idea how good it feels to be back on 2 wheels :woohoo:
