Always phone first to arrange a time as she has her young son with her...
and she has to take him to places etc re school holidays.

She also makes custom gear to fit as well..........
or will modify any gear too.

She knows her stuff and does an awesome job. She's a good sort for a yarn too.

So how is his ankle.......?

Did he get it checked out?

His g/f was going to take him after the bike was picked up....

He was a real bugger to get him to sit down and rest the leg/foot...
Kept getting up and hobbling around on it...

He did have some movement in his toes and his ankle but it was sore.
I made him keep the boot on til he got it checked out by hospital staff... and then he would have also got it xrayed.... figured it best to leave the boot on to keep the swelling contained.

Juat a thought.

To an extent you feel more confident but you really don't know unless you're unfortunate enough to have tested them !!

Looks like a Bridgestone 014 front tire - case solved. The only thing predictable about those tyres is that they will suddenly dump you without warning for no apparent reason.
Pleased he got out of it OK.
