Chch Weds Maintenance Evenings 2010

Would seem so, I had something very similar a couple of weeks back, wifey got a flu jab then got sick a few days later and gave it to me. Thought it was all gone about a week later until I went night riding on the mountain bike and left large parts of my lungs behind

Sounds like you get what I get after you get a cold. Its similar to a smokers cough, a deep hacking coough that always brings up flem. Its because the lining in the lungs gets imflamed.

I get it every time I get a cold. I get over the cold in about 3 days, unfortunatly my lungs dont recover for about a month.

Ouch!

Quick question Neels, were you riding your bike this morning at about 8am in Sheffield Cres with a large roll of paper tucked in your backpack??

Yep, that was me, but it was a bit of 80mm waste pipe not a roll of paper. And it was about 10 past, if it had been 8am I wouldn't have been late for work Just as well the boss likes me

I had just dropped off the daughter at preschool and was heading home and saw the bike and I thought "that looks like Neels, wonder if it is??" Yeah 8.10 would be right!

Must be a conspiracy, Rummie had the same thing. got a 'free' flu jab from work , sick as a dog 4 days later and then spread it to everyone in the family.

[neels]

Must be a conspiracy,.

Yep, I reckon if there's not enough flu around the drug companies that make the flu vaccine (and also the flu medicine) offer free jabs to get things started for the winter.

[Spuds1234]

I used to work in the retail industry and I would get a cold this time of year without fail. I never got a flu jab or took any kinda meds for it and it was aways gone in less than 4 days.

Now Im glad I dont get the flu jab each year as I have seen atleast 5 friends who got the jab, get sick not long after getting the jab and be struck down for atleast a week or more.

It was real good to catch up on wed....sorry i did not stay for longer but had other friends to visit and time was short...Next time i will take my ferry over the bike...hate driving beat up cages

[KiwiPhoenix]

Was good to see you! Don't leave it as long...

[helenoftroy]

Geez you lot!

The flu vaccine is not a live vaccine so cannot cause influenza!

It contains fragments of inactivated virus which stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies against the disease -it takes about 2 weeks for our body to produce this protection.

There are many other viruses present atm,so people may catch a different respiratory infection with "flu like" symptoms around the same time that they are immunised & unfairly blame the flu jab

Hope all you unwell ones recover soon
We nurses are really struggling too,lots of sickness amongst staff....full hospitals in gridlock....

[neels]

Come on, don't you go letting the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory

Thanks for all the confidence you guys gave me on maintenance evening! I have now officially booked my tests and have driven my bike around the block successfully! Still terrified of it though.. haha

[phoenixgtr]

Just think about how cool you look and you'll forget the terror

Probably good to be a bit scared of it to start with....

Just get out and practice somewhere, I've had my son out on his GSXR250 in the new subdivision round the corner from our place, riding up & down starting and stopping turning and generally going round and round until his hands get sore from the clutch and brake.

So by the time summer comes round there'll probably be another L plater coming to a wednesday night ride near you...it would be good if he had some company
