    Because discovering that Dave waxes his knobbly knees would somehow be less obscene?

    You were told a thousand times on internet forums that the Triumph pipes would burn your legs - why don't you listen to the experts for once in your life eh?

    Makes the tib and fib break on my left leg when I was t-boned by a car seem so trivial somehow.............

    Ahh - injuries were sustained face planting (in my open face) on the KTM SXC625 - which I did not come to grips with riding until very late in the day - it threw me early into the gorse and i was subsequently too stiff on it - when Vege gangster slapped me into relaxing on it I carved up a bit better.

    I did real well on the Bonne. Dropped it on its pegs (only) once too. But there were 4 x GS1200 BMW's on their sides at the same time I was wrestling with it - it was quite a sight.

    My favourite sales trainer once spent a whole day explaining the difference between 'scratching your arse and tearing it out.'

    I understand you sustained a similar injury after being punched in the nose?

    We found each other - and I think Merv found God.

    Which bike was God on again, was he that guy on the Triumph is that what you are saying? I talked to a lot of people and for about 90 mins from 11.30am until about 1pm I was at the shop proudly displaying my KB logo on my black shirt SpankMe sold me so I would have been hard to miss, but then I never saw you either Slingshot and we have met before of course.

    As for crashes I had one on the morning slippery clay - lost the knob off my clutch lever. No injuries to display.

    Now how come I had my last XR Honda 15 years and dropped it many times and never broke a lever? Even our new XR has been dropped and it only bent the front brake lever, didn't break it - do Honda use more resilient aluminium or something? Brendan told me at the dinner later that its only fair the dealers get the odd sale of parts out of our riding and crashing. Is that why he's not a Honda dealer any more, wasn't making enough money?
    Cheers

    Merv

    I think we must have left before all of the group arrived and as we were heading out of the city we keep seeing more and more advernture bikes.
