    Glad you are OK, bikes are fixable....
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Edit: Hey you DID try Don at Pit Lane/ Cycletreads, didn't you?

    The limp is all gone now, just the bruises left

    I am seeing DC in the next week or so and see if it can be welded..... failing that I will give the guys a call at Pit Lane... thanks

    That sux speedy, take heart I dropped my bike in front of all my riding friends a few years ago. Hit a carport pole with the edge of my handlebar and over I went. Aren't stupid accidents fun?

    Three of us on bikes, all of us relatively inexperienced (read: young, dumb and full of... something), arrived at my mum's place, one of my companions and I got there first and parked on the grass, third guy comes in far too hot, decides he's going to stop between our bikes, shoots between our bikes missing them by inches, skids on the grass, loses grip at the arse end and slides out (thankfully after his rear wheel has already cleared the front of our bikes) and winds up in an untidy heap on mum's rock garden.

    Starts yelling "I'm hurt, I'm hurt" and my unsympathetic reply was "Yeah, your ego!"

    Not saying that either of you were acting that crazy, SG and I_R, just trying to show you that, embarrassing as it was, at least you wouldn't have looked half the drongo my mate did...
    Motorbike Camping for the win!
