    It seems you didn't kick it though, which has to be a good thing.

    Heal fast dude - always sucks when you are out of action with something line that

    Details man!


    Sorry to hear that, on the mend so that's a good thing.
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    All the worst injuries from the myself and the guys I race with have all been on buckets, little bikes bite worse than the bigs ones

    Poos wees and jobbies!

    I just caught up with this when I got to work. I thought buckets were "safe" LOL. Not according to Kickaha though. Bugger it, I'm staying away from all racing that's for sure

    Doug I hope it doesn't hurt bad. It's the annoyances and inconveniences that piss you off the most. How big is the plaster? Nasty will of course be expecting it to be pink!

    It's only 10am and we miss you already!!!!!!

    It wasn't a bike. It was a bucket.

    My house needs cleaning and the garage needs a bloody good clean-up after the bucket building session on Friday and Saturday. I expect it to be done by the time I get home.

    Hurry up and tell your version of events or I'll make one up. And photos of your sling.
