Very good to meet you lot. A very kind bunch.

We did get the monster numbers up in the end. No naughty corner ;-)

Catch up some time.

Hasta luego.
Diego.

I was going to come but was tricked into thinking I had to be at home by my loving girl after she saw 4 motorbike crashes yesterday and didn't want me out playing in the dark, even though the brakes don't really work in the daylight either. I'll try to catch up soon, sounds like lots of new bikes for boys.

'allo, yes nice to meet y'all and yes got home safely (even though nearly missed a turning and ending up nearly all the way to wandsworth)

must repair my sense of direction and get my balls back, have noticed they have retreated since the accident, gonna have to learn how to go round corners all over again too.....

*sniff* been soo long since i've had bike people to talk to, nice to know i'm not the only one who goes insane after having bike removed for more than 6 hours and not be told 'but, it's only a bike'

off to hunt down my replacement bulb....left it round here somewhere....

Hi Ladybird, this has happened to me as well. Go back to school. I did. Got them to take me out for a confidence building day and more instruction. I don't think I will ride again like maybe I used to but am definitely getting better. Go back to school!

This happened to me last year. I blocked the voices out and concentrated on the photography. In the end the voices got the better of me, and I nearly forgot how to go round bends on a motorcycle.

Still can't now!! :chuckle:

or was that falling off a log?

Arse out of seat, gentle squeeze of the brakes, throttle off and brake hard, push inside bar away until knee touches down and progressively apply throttle through corner, wait for bike to get nearly upright, full gas... next.

Which reminds me, I must get may leathers repaired and book a trackday.
