:gob: Blimey, piecocks seem to be claiming too many bikies at the moment :sick:

Glad to hear that nothing too much untoward happened to you - and bummer about the ride (you know how it goes, better the bike than you). I take it the bike was still ridable back to home?

Oh shit Alex, that really sux! You told me that bike was really chuckable but did you have to ...

There's about 3 corners on that road that always have gravel right between the car wheel tracks at any time and then there's about 12 of them that have some when the rains come.

It doesn't sound like you or the bike came off too badly and big ups for the investment in the draggins

Bugger.
But at least its a 'little one'. Little ones are ok coz you walk away thinking that they could have been worse - but thankfully weren't.

yeah i suppose, walked away, will have to talk to spittie see if he can patch up my jeans cheaply and then will have to goto the plastic welder. Will get everything else checked on it tonight. Will pop in and say hello to Grub and Wasp tomorrow

Could of been a lot worse.

Cheers for the ride tonight.

pah, i rode piecock tonight - wasnt trying to go fast but ended up in a really good groove. i thought there was less stones and crap than normal...... and it was still damp when I went over

pity about the bike though

now the question is what does qual mean about going for a ride tonight - i turned up at the duckpond at 10 to 6 and stayed till 10 past 6! nobody! nada! (twas riding a 250 too so you might have kept up - your loss)

p.s. Grub - I told you so.... :(
