Sorry we could not get over to you Cathy...
We were stuck a couple of lanes away in rush hour traffic and on the wrong side of the motorway with no way of even changing lanes and 10mins late already...
I felt a right prick when we found out you actually fell off but when Em and I spotted the bike you were up and moving and parked by the side of the road so we thought you might have just run out of gas... (didn't see the slide)
Cheers

Just noticed this, glad you ok.
Give us a yell if you want the bike picked up from the truck place/need a hand getting it back together.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
The metal is always nude.
Good to hear you're fine.
Yes agreed, that corner can be a bugger, I've felt the front give a few twitches in the wet there, so can sympathise.

Shit, bugger, I'm with Paul here, I feel like a prat too. I have a feeling I rode straight past you yesterday morning (until Fri I work in Jville!!). Just after 9ish? I don't know your bike, and since I was very late and you were standing and looking largely okay I figured you'd run outta gas too. Sorry.
That hill is bloody scary, any of those corners. I had a good slide this morning on the right hander before that one, but that was self-inflicted. Diesel from trucks, just a nightmare. I highly recommend the outside (fast) lanes - since that's the least likely lanes trucks have been dropping oil or diesel on.
Sorry mate, if I'd known you'd been for a slide I woulda stopped. Best of luck with the bumps and bruises (to the wallet too). Agree - the gear is worth it's weight in gold!!

I just got a new rear tyre a few weeks ago...I think it was just a wet day with a slippery road.
Starting to wonder that myself!
Will doThanks!
Please don't feel bad, I appreciated your texts
Thanks, a hand when reassembling would be gratefully accepted. I'll let ya know when I have all the bits for Betty.
No worries. There would have been nothing you could've done anyway.
Thanks maaaaaaate.
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

Give us a yell & we can come & grab kit & caboodle, I should have my garage sorted after the weekend (moving again[sigh]) & will have some room to work.
