I am new to these forums and fairly new to biking.

So hello all to begin with, I see some nice people post here so I thought I would have a go myself.

I got my bike brand new, got myself a decent job and bought it off the shelf, I am chuffed it is my baby. Cool

Please ignore the chicken strips as it was febuary when I started to ride and after all am a beginner :p

Anyway as time went on I saw stuff I liked and decided to do it up a little.....

https://www.mickyboi.co.uk/BCF/02.JPG
Note, the ckhicken strips are going too :p

I was Just getting things how I liked em ....

https://www.mickyboi.co.uk/BCF/03.JPG

When I was run over at work by a lorry and havent been able to ride since Rolling Eyes

Apparently I should be able to ride again but won't be till next summer now. I dont mind, it will probably come round soon enough.... BUT I couldn't walk well and had to go back to my mums to live,
My partner and I have just had a little girl so my partner needed to be there for her and my son, so I moved back to my mum's so she could care for me. (my bike needless to say came with me)

After staying there a few months it came time to come home, which I did, and within 2 days of coming home theiving B******S broke in my mums garage and took my baby Sad

Luckily a copper found it walking his dog, they had tried to set fire to it and damaged it in various places, nothing major (luckily) The pannels are being painted.
this is it as it is now ...

It sadden's me that scum are around to take away the things we work hard for. I have been having a bad year, and now I have snapped a screw in my leg so I am back on my crutches.

I will soon be back out there though flying the flag of the "biker" Twisted Evil

cant keep me down for long.

ANYWAY
rambled on enough, just wanted to say hi and be among people that enjoy biking as much as I do Very Happy

P.S. If the pics are too big let me know and I will scale em all down, like I said, new to all this so pls dont flame at me , I am having a bad year Smile

Undertray looks really good, cold do with a bit of dirt on it though Very Happy

Is the bike sorted again now? Or is it still being pieced together?

Hope you recover soon.

Alright micky, sorry to hear about your story, gawd, I'm glad it didn't happen to me......oh and hello too Very Happy

One thing that strikes me about what you said was "I dont mind, it will probably come round soon enough.... " I've never heard such patience in the biking world ! Really!

Top man, hope this summer comes quicker and you can get back out onto the road with yer (lurverly) bike. Thumbs Up

Welcome mate Thumbs Up

That's a gorgeous bike you've got there. Even though it seems everyone has Gixxer's they still always look the dogs bollocks when I see one.

By the way, hope you have better luck next year eh? Razz

MickyBoi · Derestricted Danger Joined: 29 Oct 2004 Karma :

Thankyou ALL so much for the warmest welcome I think I have EVER had...
It's so nice to be among people that "understand" what biking is about, its not something you want to do, its not something you can stop or control, it's more something your body and mind needs! but if you dont have it in your life..... god ! cant even imagine what that would be like.

Anyway, in reply to some of the comments, Dave! I am rebuilding it at the moment, I have got all the parts just waiting on the painter and then I will be putting it back together and once its done it will be better than before.
I will post more pictures here of it when its done Smile

A few bike files to look through should you be bored Smile

How many of those scars are from orthopaedic surgeons and how many from being mashed though? Do they use staples on larger muscles and things where there is more 'strength' trying to pull the wound apart again?

On a slightly unrelated note, what beast is that climbing up you? Shocked

I don't think I've seen a lizard other than komodo dragons that huge!

Well, I hope I don't get into trouble for the subject wondering off topic Smile

BUT her name is Pink (named by my son) She's a 3 and a half foot Green Iguana originated from South America but this one was captive bread.

They live till 25 years old and grow to 6 foot in the wild, but captive can still reach 5 foot + she's about 4 I think (years old)

Also, whilst in hospital I was on LOTS of morphine, but yes the leg did hurt, but not as much as the 2 breaks in my pelvis :S the foot on the pictures was burst NOT cut by pressure from the lorry wheel, and I had steel toe caps on at the time Smile

If this year is bad, the year is nearly at its end, life will improve next year because of your experience this year.
