I know! Poor you

so I'll just pop up tomorrow and take your bike with the inflated tyres out for a spin....

The reason I loved my bike was the fact I could touch the ground. Just recently we have replaced both tyres and it is MUCH higher now than it was. I am right on tippy toes now. Like Maha said I could sit astride the Gold Wing no worries it was easier than BB

Yeah, my back neighbour offered to as well....

I'd let you but the rego is on hold and it's out of WoF. It needs a ride...

You'd be welcome though

Trip sounds like heaven. I know we loved having a taste of the Far North a couple of years ago.
Mangamukus...

Bugger about your drop. Tell me though - how do you manage a low speed, front wheel wash, highside and end up under the bike? I know you're clever, but that scenario takes the biscuit.

The only part of me under the bike was my foot, the rest was well clear. You can tell that speed was not a factor in this accident

I was actually turning right too, not left, farked if I know what happened really, one minute coming in to park the next on my side on the road, I managed to pull my foot out from under once I stopped seeing stars

Sorry to read about the off Mom and yeah, the front goes quick

Fantastic pics, but I'd love to know where the hell they're taken. You're allowed to name them

Glad you had a great time.

They are beautiful roads in that part of the country, to be sure. I loved our wee holiday up there...
Sorry about your off, but glad you are ok. Did you get that Arnica into you, like I told you too?
Poor BB, she really does not deserve such harsh treatment!

Would be our pleasure to have you stay at ours for a few days if you want to over summer. We are home over Xmas New Year, go away mid Jan.
