Wrecked my bike today

The worst of news, but the best that you're okay.

That'll learn ya to go muckin' around in the less civilised Island.

I don't think much of the 'lesser' roads up here. I had a blat on the Parapara's the other day, and with a bit of moisture it would have suited Torvill and Dean just fine!!

Get better real quick and get back on the saddle.

. An elderly Heap O Trouble was musing over needing to get herself a bimmer frame again as she has a problem being too Hard On Throttle. Your bike should slow her down a bit and also be easier on the sore toe she stubbed while chasing a bottle of Tequilla, although the Horny Old Tart

will tell ya she was chasing a young fella at the time

Geez your a cheeky sod!!

...how did ya know I broke my toe chasing The Peach??

Lovely reading this thread, we can all see how loved you are, unique, special and irreplaceable. Your stead was a character too, but a certain lad wondered aloud the other day whether you ever cleaned it ... maybe he cursed it so that you wouldn't have to bother.

Now then Johnny Be Good

Maybe you need to tell Shrek on the quite about the other side of bikes that people seem to forget or don't believe that they can do it..

We know how these Union Jacks can go places.Even if people choose to not believe

Maybe i'm preaching to the faithfull but god's hand is always with us when we ride.

Just sometimes he teachs us a lesson

We've all had them have'nt we John
