    Had my first off yesterday Hit a patch of diesel in the wet and that was that - tank pretty mashed (new one needed) and front of bike bit iffy but have to say, engine bars and new leathers (well, new to me, but secondhand from e-bay) did exactly what they should [smiley=thumbsup.gif].

    I crawled back across the dual carriageaway with little more than a couple of bruises. I have suspected fracture to scaphoid bone but to be honest, they are really overcautious with this tiny little bone as apparently untreated it can cause permanent wrist damage - but no evidence on X-ray so all looking good! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    Think Gerry suffered more than me - he is definitely greyer than before ;D

    Plan A is to fix bike by Cornwall [smiley=thumbsup.gif] I know 5 days is tight, but we're going to give it a try [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

    We went down to the New Forest to meet up with you guys - but Gerry got his forest's mixed up!! ;D We realised from your text you where in the Forest of Dean instead! ;D

    We all drop our bikes - might as well get used to it now! I need to superglue my indicator back on to! ;D

    Glad your ok. That's the main thing.

    If you need help with the bike, I'm happy to lend a hand.
