well kids, after being bulletproof for months i had a spill where a load of mud had been carved onto the road - my lane in fact. less than a mile from home after a 40 mile round trip to work.

gonna order a new front tyre tomorrow. mines bald.

the total damage is... wait for it. one brake lever and tiny scuff on the exhaust. the crash bars took the brunt of it.

so whos turn is it for a crash now? i know i was long overdue, but all those VTRs (except zimms of course) are looking very shiiiiny.

think about it.

Sorry to hear about that mate. It always seems to happen when were almost at home. At least you're ok though... arn't you? And not much damage to your bike.

yeh i'm fine - my bones dont break. bikes ok, but crahsing is always an arse and bruises your hips. with bruised hips you can't get milt out of the bottom of the fridge easily, which limits tea making ability.

That's not as bad as it seems. Just sit back and let someone else make the tea. Laughing

Yeah. If someone else makes the tea, I always get them to put extra sugar in to enhance the taste. Oh yeah Zak, I hate Yorkshire Tea!! Laughing

Unlucky Roob, but as you say, your time had arrived Razz...plus you weren't exactly the totally innocent party with your zero-tread tyre.

At least it wasn't the Veefer Smile
