    Sorry to hear of your misfortune I'm glad you're alright.

    No not to diminish the honest sentiment of the above statement (PS did see youse guys sat heading north sat near my turnoff to Kelson) anyways, just a couple of members I’ll use the above to illustrate the difference between ‘your’ & ‘you’re’

    Your; means you own it or it is attributed to you
    You’re; is of course short for ‘you are’. Therefore ‘glad your alright’ makes no sense. Sorry, just trying to slow the process that will eventually mean we will all be spelling in txt B4 Xmas.

    Hope you can fix the bike up so as not to notice.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Eh? You got it all wrong, man.

    The apostrophe is used to warn the reader of an upcoming 's'. As when discussing a shop that sell's motorbike's. Or the price of a new pair of armoured glove's.

    Since theres no 's' in 'your', its wrong to use an apostrophe.

    Like, duh.

    Anyway, returning to the Spirit of the Thread: Ouch, you've got to hate it when that happens.

    Who won the sweep, by the way?

    Sympathy

    Man that Sucks, dude... Glad that you are Ok (or as Ok as you can be after your bin) Sorry about the bike too - hope that you can put some colour on it to give it speedlines or something, and that it'll be nice and cheap to fix.

    Heal well man,

    Yo

    Couldn't resist one last post because I saw what I am presuming was your bike today Stone being harnassed up to the back of a tow truck at the top end of the Terrace today.

    My condolences - looked a sad sight. Sounds like the same issue the R1 had when I binned it....ground through the engine cover (they are bloody soft)......should be a rapid repair - Sawyers did a mint job on the R1 - you won't even know once you get it back.

    Stay rubber side down when you get it back.

    I'm audy

    Good to meet you on Saturday F5 (now I've forgotten your real name-but note the correct use of "your"Perhaps Dave IS your real name?) I'm with you on preserving the Queen's language. Texting will dumb us all down to the level of Yanks.
    Stonechucker, sorry about your spill. Saw your bike today and it's sad but not intensive care ward material . Mind you they were loading it into a rubbish skip. That's probably a bad sign.

    Hi there SC - how are you feeling a couple of days later? Much bruising/soreness?

    How's (note: apostrophe denotes missing "i" - ie "how is" shortened to "how's") that knee doing?

    Any word from insurance/Sawyers on when the baby will be back on the road?
    .

    Being frustrated is disagreeable.

    But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
