    Pick up some nice hot smelly rub to soothe your memories, hon, it helps to get rubbed for lots more than physical reasons (and no dont be mucky!). Its all good, yanno, glad you coped with the crash and are feeling better. This seems like a good forum for soothe and relate.

    I wanna go ride! Unfortunately I landed in horse-spittal wiv evil flu til yesterday so my body doesnt agree with me that its a good idea to go see the winterless north, just quickly like. *sigh*

    Fortunately the body does overrule the mind on the issue of general invincibility. I already got a nifty scar or two but none of them while *mobile* - the best was stabbing the foot pedal into a minor artery causing very interesting spouting fountain effect. Heh.

    In one year of BMW ownership and around 20,000km I fell off my BMW R75/7 3 times
    1 once in the driveway,got on one side and fell off the other
    2 Gravel driveway doing 20kmh,lost the front and fell over
    3 Hit by a van doing 80kmh

    My BMW didn't self correct for any of these incidents,perhaps I had a faulty one

    The motorcycle gods will not be mocked. Drive carefully to the accessory shop tomorrow.


    Maybe a small sacrifice will appease them...

    You have been warned.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
