    Mate, thats not good to hear, glad your OK.
    What time did this happen, I came back through there this afternoon about 3.30.
    Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

    Sorry to hear GIJoe..........bike can always be repaired......glad to hear your ok.

    Besides we all know how your front tyre got away on you............its what you get when you follow a scotsman with a leaky VTR Either that or that duck came back for seconds

    Good to hear you're alright gijoe! Lucky you came out without any injuries mate, hope the bike isnt too badly done by. Having just got back from a 6 week trip this is a pretty decent reminder on taking it easy until I'm back in the swing of things!

    Trust it wont be too long until you're back on two wheels?

    GIJoe,

    Glad you are OK,

    Its only been a few adys since you came to visit me to cheer me up.

    Maybe red isnt your lucky colour.

    Loosing the front wheel is vey quick isnt it? Happened to me 13 months ago.

    How's the bike? Not too bad? Little bit of gaffer tape and set to go?

    Top survival skills Jo. I suprised the shit out of myself today by not falling over when my front tyre locked up for two metres during an impulsive stoppy attempt this arvo. I now have a fabulous skidmark outside my house. Nothing but dumb-luck saved my arse.

    Had the back kick out on me today - pulled the bitch back in, but must be the day for it.

    Bad news dude.

    Sounds like you are ok which is the main thing. Hope the bike is fixable and you are on the road again where you belong soon.

    Bloody hell....and GIJOE was okay, that looks a long way to drop.....bugger, on a lighter note I reckon Dover's idea about torching it was quite sensible in a pyromaniacal kinda way !!

    Glad you're OK J, and hope you're back in the saddle soon. Had my first bin on that road too, but got off much lighter...( This was your first.... right? )
