    Winter hazards

    The combination of generous amounts of grit and low sun can - with only a few drops added complacency - cause the following symptoms:

    -Foot pegs falling off.
    -Scratches on helmet.
    -Twisty handlebar raisers.
    -Minor concussion.
    -Low self-esteem.
    -Fucked plans for the weekend.

    DAMHIK.

    Have a nice weekend and ride safe!

    Oh dear!
    Seems to be a bit of this about at the moment....
    Never mind, you can always spend the weekend tinkering with the bike and repairing the bent bits, provided you are not too bent yourself, of course.
    Diarrhoea is hereditary - it runs in your jeans

    If my nose was running money, I'd blow it all on you...

    Not more bent than I rode the 'tard home motard style - i.e. with my right foot down (it was the righthand footpeg)... ...very very carefully in the grit and gust winds, it was only about 5 kms.

    I'm afraid there aren't that much to tinker with - the footpeg is seriously bent, then handle bar is fine - but I need new bolts to hold the handlebar raisers in place. Other that there's not really anything wrong. I was even wearing my track leathers since I'd been to the track earlier - so no worries there either

    It was a low speed (guessing about 40) - I was just cruising along enjoying the scenery. Got a bit complacant and I wasn't prepared for the sunstrike and the grit it hit. Just dumb.

    Now I can enjoy my brain tripping out because of the impact - weird thoughts galore and a perpetual pseudo-deja vu state of mind.

    Crikey! Well hope all is good with the body, guess you can do a good job and give the bike a good overhaul now?

    No serious injury I hopes?

    Take it easy mate, there is only one of you! Couple of days rest the bike will be good as new again.

    Only the footpegs and expectations for the weekend broken. I'm fine - only slightly concussed

    Two very minor concussions (I'm guessing they are concussions - but wouldn't take it to the doctor though (he might make the funny thoughts go away )) with about 4 months between them.

    I'll take the bike to the shop monday and have them assess what needs doing - but I don't think it'll be much at all.

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    *sigh*

    It must be July - the month of bins.

    Look after yourself Mikkel. The old swede doesn't like getting banged too often.
    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.

    Swede? You mean the bike?
    Husqvarna has been owned by Cagiva since '88 I believe.

    But yes - she needs a little bit of TLC now.
