    That one is an imitation Pelican, Nankuk brand. This one is not totally waterproof but seems pretty good.

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    his story to tell, but all is well, just one of those falls. Bit of shock, bit of nausea, bit of bone crunching, bit of a slow ride out... he was in a fair bit of pain as it started swelling but did really well holding it all together to get back home.

    Yeah but........

    How's the bike?

    Once the pain killers wear off tomorrow, the smile may fade.

    I hope he makes a speedy recovery.
