Owww! :gob: I've just read a previous thread about someone having an off ... and now I'm reading yours! :sick:
Knee problems? Just remember to eat plenty of cucumber (good for ligament and joint repair) Sorry to hear about your incident, gotta avoid those skating objects under tires (funnily enuff, I was reading about that issue a week ago - avoiding things that can turn your tyres into surfboards! :scratch:)
Not to worry, sounds like you're holed up at home now and enjoying the warmth! :yes:

Sh1t, that SUX.
Sorry to heart it, and hope the knee gets better!
Timely reminder to check your braking zone, before you put your wheels in it!
Winter is here, ice is on the road too!
When i was younger i tried to stop my bike on a bone!
Yep, i worked in a butcher shop, and there was a bone on the ground that i tried to park on!
Bike went down, and I was gutted!
Stupid mistake. Since then I have been super good at preventing front end lock-ups or at least recovering from them in time.

That's a bummer. Maybe some crash bungs are in order.
Whitby? Where is that? England?

Yeah - it's on the coast - Whitby Bay is quite popular in July...

Whitby has nothing to do with porirua, it is in Greater Wellington.
lonely, no, Jack has been keeping me company!
Doctor wrote me out a nice bit of paper excusing me from my Competition Law exam on Friday aswell :) just trying to decide weither to rely on my class mates and pick up the agregate mark or stop being a lazy prick and go and do it haha!

Hey man. Sorry to read about the bin. If you want some space etc to work on your bike you can come out to my place. I promise not to steal too many bits off it.:innocent:
