    Cheer up and all the best Edbear with the back recovery. Remember you can still talk bike crap on here.
    When it comes to talking, mate, I'm.... well, you know...

    Photos of the teen daughters or it didn't happen!

    Will you go to a trike? If you can drive a car, a trike shouldn't be a problem?

    I doubt he would have appreciated me taking pics of his daughters... They weren't bad, either. The older one was about 6'2", and the younger looked about 13.

    I can get more fun in the MX5 than a trike, it's not the same as a bike - biking is unique and cannot be replaced with anything remotely like it.

    You can get trikes with a lean system. They aren't that different.

    Yeah, I know, but still not the same. Anyway, we spent enough on the Kizashi to preclude any more toys for a while.

    Yeah, I just gotta keep reminding myself what might have happened and I count myself a very lucky boy!

    Life is fragile and precious, people! Cherish each day and bear in mind you might not be alive tomorrow. Oh, the alternative, lying bedridden in hospital in extreme pain isn't much fun either...

    (Although that Ketamine is neat stuff... )

    Money aside, the lean systems allow for essentially the same ride as 2 wheels. Minus the need to put your feet down to stop, over leaning and falling off, and your positioning in the lane.

    Thanks mate! We're taking her out to Tim's, (Classic_Z's), tomorrow morning for the WoF so I'll see it on the road, albeit with my mate riding it, and hear it.

    Dude, Sustanon and Deadlifts.. that will fix it. and some Methylated test to stop you turning into a bitch while training.

    Good luck

    I've been on Sustanon since Sept. '07 for Cushings syndrome and have been on a physio program for strengthening my core, upper body and legs for six months.

    I have nice boobs and cry easily but I'm still a man...

    While they are a great machine, I can't afford one. All said and done, two wheels are unique and no other number of wheels can take their place. Motorcycling is unique and different from anything else, and I love it for what it is.

    My bike looked and sounded fabulous today even though I was leading him out to the garage. Wof'd and Reg'd now, waiting for the weekend to see it go to its new owner.

    My mate riding it today fell in love with it and said if I'd given him a ride on it he would probably have bought it himself! I thought he was happy with his K75...
