Grrr! Buggrit! Feck it!

[yungatart]

Aaarrrggghhh!
I bloody dropped it again! Went out for a nice liitle pootle and to show off some of the HB countryside to our Finnish boy, today. The weather is superb, hot and sunny - did I mention hot! Headed off down HW50 to Tikokino, stopped at the pub there and had some refreshments, met some of the locals and chewed the fat. Then off to Waipawa, and back home via HW 2, so Henry could see more of the countryside.
HW 50 has some twisties, some would say nice, not me at this stage. I chose to focus on my cornering, keeping my eyes up and looking at the exit and was doing pretty well. I could feel myself improving...maybe that was my downfall.
HW 2 is boring, so I thought I would focus on maintaining my speed in the corners, so far, so good. There was quite a big section of roadworks, all gravel, which I negotiated without mishap.
Further up the road, is some resealing at a roundabout, I slowed, changed down , braked, before entering the gravel,changed down again, but the tractor coming from my right was looming ever larger, so being a stupid twat, I grabbed a handful of front brake!
No prizes for guessing what came next!
I have broken the L front indicator, again, damaged the headlight, and the speedo, again, put yet another dent in the tank, and bent the gear shift again!!
Mstrs picked it up off the road, and gave me a severe telling off for scaring him again! Apparently he doesn't like to see me go down, well, not on the road anyway! My helmet hid the road pretty hard, and I have the beginnings of a headache. I bent the nose piece if my glasses, too, but otherwise no damage to me!
I rode home, leaving Mstrs to try and catch up with me...seems every prat and his dog came between us after I took off, well, so he says anyway.
Thankyou,my darling, for being my knight in shining armour, yet again:love:

AAAwwww noooo... :(

I didn't think you would be back on the bike so soon but must be better aye?

Sorry to hear you dropped it. What a pain. Hope you didn't hurt yourself or do damage to the already hurt bits?

[Colapop]

You wanna get one o' them rubber bikes ow! Just as well you're not too badly banged up. Get it checked at your next appointment tomorrow... (you're at the doc everyday aren't you?)

Umm and can you please stop falling off?

[MSTRS]

Mstrs...gave me a severe telling off for scaring him again!

Never did!! But I do have ways of making you pay...:innocent:

[Colapop]

Take her freckin' keys off her!

[doc]

You're just winding us up aren't you ?

[MSTRS]

You're just winding us up aren't you ?

Nup.......

[kneescraper]

Guttered, sorry to hear about the crash. Dont let it keep you down, its all a learning curve but I think you know that already.

I hope we can all meet up and go for a ride when I come to Napier some day soon.

[merv]

Time you got a trail bike 'tart they don't mind being dropped so often.

[Nasty]

Yeah, but that is only to get my supply:innocent: My intention is to never fall off - the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Take her freckin' keys off her!
Shut up you!


You're just winding us up aren't you ?
Would I do a thing like that?

Look forward to it mate! Tis a learning curve for sure, but I forgot all that I'd ever read/heard about gravel ...will not forget again!

My EL would never protest at being droped, my hsband, on the other hand, different matter!

Nasty, I will never forget again!

I guess I was so focused on the things i was focused on, that I wasn't concentrating enough on my surroundings... lesson learned there too!
I was feeling pretty chuffed with my ride, tis only the second time out on the bike since I binned.
Still I'm not hurt, and it didn't appear to knock my mojo either, i rode really well after it too!
Go figure!

Why, how many times have you dropped him?

Mind you, he'll mend, whereas the bikes need repairing.

[paturoa]

Bummer

- should I poiint out that MSTRS didn't do the red arrow thing to the end of the clutch lever as well?

What did Fin say, I assume he was on the back of MSTRS?

(as opposed to Finn being on MSTRS back - shudder!)

[Dooly]

Bloody hell, again!

At least you got out of it well.

HW50 seemed popular today, I saw dozens of bikes going down there all day from our house.
Great day for a ride.

[judecatmad]

Ooh, ouch! :(

Glad you're OK tho chicky - that's the main part!

[Bloody Mad Woman (BMW)]

Sounds like you were real lucky not to have hurt more body parts. Well you won't be scared of fallin off soon! I've dropped my bikes over the years - and now it's just "oh shit" hope the bike survives!!

Good that you got straight back on! Take care!

[mstriumph]

I'm glad I'm not the only one!
I found a big bruise on my shoulder today, as well, never knew it was there until I walked in to the door - feeling a little accident prone at the moment....I might just need that bubble wrap, Judecatmad, its gotta be preferable to Swoop's offer of training wheels:shutup:

[James Deuce]

Ahem. Oh dear. Pleased you are only bruised.

Take care, or else.

[yungatart]

Take care, or else.


I'm not scared of you!!
You only threaten to come up here and teach me to ride - you don't actually turn up (well, once you did).
See, I told you I needed help....
