My soul is restored

**Hitcher** · 23rd February 2006, 20:58

That feels better. A 50km jaunt on Mrs H's Marauder, inside the confines of my new Shoei Diabolic, and I am a new man. Reinvigorated and restored by the psychic energy that only a motorcycle can provide. My motorcycling soul had withered during the convalescence following my Boxing Day mishap but tonight it was replenished. I am truly blessed.

All I need now is my STeed.

Working double time
On the seduction line
She was one of a kind, she's just mine all mine
Wanted no applause
Just another cause
Made a meal out of me and come back for more
Had to cool me down
To take another round
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

Cool

How long till you've got your ST1300 back?

I am running a sweep. $20 to the person with the closest guess. The time you're guessing is when ANZA's workshop rings and tells me it's ready for uplift, rather than when I actually take delivery. I am an honourable person and will not be entering this competition myself.

Guess we might like to know more like, how much damage was sustained on your ST1300, when did work start and are parts coming ex-Japan and when were these ex-Japan parts ordered.

Going from the movie "Money Pit" starring Tom Hanks and co, I'd say two weeks.

Good to hear you're back out there and doing it big guy. Although, I always find a ride on someone elses bike when you have none can amplify the withdrawls and make you sicker than you were.

Say "Hi" to Mrs H for me too. Ta.

I'll give you a hint. You should specify a date and a time. "I'd say two weeks" is a bit like a sign in a shop window that says "Back in 10 minutes". Tits on a bull.

Hey Hitcher,
Glad to see that you are back on a bike - any bike ...

how is the collarbone?

Good to see you are back up on at least one bike Hitcher. Hopefully ST will get to you at 1200 on Fri 10 March

It'll be the first Monday after the week they'd promised it'd be ready.
Providing that the weekend following has a crap weather forecast, and the previous weekend was gloriously fine.

That must be the missing part from every bike shop's mission statement

Healing nicely, finally! Lots of new bone growth evident in X-rays and movement and strength almost back to "normal". A wicked lump of bone over the break, though.

The day that WINJA and Scumdog kiss and make up after a week of no anti-cop threads on KB.
