    Owww! I've just read a previous thread about someone having an off ... and now I'm reading yours!

    Knee problems? Just remember to eat plenty of cucumber (good for ligament and joint repair) Sorry to hear about your incident, gotta avoid those skating objects under tires (funnily enuff, I was reading about that issue a week ago - avoiding things that can turn your tyres into surfboards! )

    Not to worry, sounds like you're holed up at home now and enjoying the warmth!

    Sh1t, that SUX.
    Sorry to heart it, and hope the knee gets better!

    Timely reminder to check your braking zone, before you put your wheels in it!

    Winter is here, ice is on the road too!

    When i was younger i tried to stop my bike on a bone!
    Yep, i worked in a butcher shop, and there was a bone on the ground that i tried to park on!
    Bike went down, and I was gutted!
    Stupid mistake. Since then I have been super good at preventing front end lock-ups or at least recovering from them in time.

    Oh, and you mean this link

    That's a bummer. Maybe some crash bungs are in order.
    Whitby? Where is that? England?

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?

    Whitby has nothing to do with porirua, it is in Greater Wellington.

    lonely, no, Jack has been keeping me company!

    Hey man. Sorry to read about the bin. If you want some space etc to work on your bike you can come out to my place. I promise not to steal too many bits off it.
