    sorry to hear this Icey. I know it's boring, but plenty of rest is good

    Hope your finger heals ok

    re: people not helping

    Similar thing happened to me years ago where I was following other half (he was in the car) and we'd just picked up our Thundercat from it's service. Got to a crossroads but had to stop, Scott had already gone. I needed to do a hill start and turn left, not enough revs and toppled over. I managed to get myself out from under the bike and a van was behind, took one look and drove off >

    There was no way I could pick the bike up by myself, Scott took a while to realise I wasn't following him so eventually turned round, but by the time he arrived a friendly biker turned up and checked I was ok. Took both of them to stand it up!!

    I was so embarrassed and more concerned about the bike too! It was before we had crash bungs fitted so had knackered the indicator which in turn cracked the fairing

    Oh well, Scott promptly wrote in off a few months later and we got a nice shiney new one ;D That's another story

    Yeah I was really lucky - mainly down to the fact I was wearing proper gear

    Thanks for the best wishes.

    Just been to fowlers to look at gloves - nothing took my fancy tho, so instead I bought some lube and bar ends ;D

    My 1st was on a 50cc moped when i was 16, it was on gravel on a backroad doing about 20mph, I was wearing jeans and a buffallo jacket, no supprise that the jeans didn't even manage to stay together causing gravel to get into a nicly cut knee. When i 1st started riding i was led to belive they would be good enough should i fall off!

    My 2nd was as a moped rider for dominos, it was mid winter in derry hill and very icey. upon seeing the address (with the person looking out the window) i pulled in lost the front end and slid down the road outside his house! He felt sorry for me and gave me i nice tip...."Dont ride in the ice!" >grrr
