Hey Joe, glad to hear that you're not too badly hurt, and neither is your bike...
When I were a reckless youth I wore jeans when riding and collected many a scabby knee from various offs throughout the learning process ::) - given your proximity to Swindon it may be a good idea to have a browse round George White's bargain basement section and treat yourself to some leather or textile trousers that have some armour in them - you may be surprised how incredibly cheap some of that stuff is, and some protective gear could save you from far worse than a scabby knee in future... :'(
[smiley=thumbsup.gif] Agreed Scotty [smiley=thumbsup.gif] You can even get some of their Red Route armoured jeans but textiles probably a bit better in this weather :)Quote:

Glad your ok though Joe
Good to hear you're OK :)
Chewing tarmac ain't nice
Glad you didnt get badly hurt! Glad you are ok.. Might not be the most helpful comment now but small offs like that do make you a better riding, mine certainly did. All the best with the repairs for both of you! :)
Hi Joe sorry to hear about your accident but glad your ok. Riding is certainly an on going learning experience and I am just recovering from a broken leg as i too grabbed the front brake too hard ::)
Yep, that were my bike that were... ::)Quote:

And that YBR has never quite been the same since... ::)
I won't forget that Rob. You scared the bejesus out of me... :o
Any spill that you walk away from is called a 'learning experience'... [smiley=happy.gif]
I'm dreading mine :-/ but glad to hear you are ok and well impressed that you jumped straight back on the bike [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Hope bike isn't difficult/expensive to sort and glad it was just a scabby knee :)
