I can't make it unfortunately, I broke my wrist just before Christmas so no riding for me for a while. :(

Sorry to hear - have they put it in a cast or did you get away with a velcro-ed splint? I had similar 2 years ago - was told to exercise normally too early which set me back about a month - hope yours is quick - so many factors will affect healing time, mine was around 3 month overall. Hope you don't smoke :)

Haha, they let me have a splint luckily, though I was offered a cast. Coincidentally I've only fractured two bones in my life (not counting a few ribs) and the other was my other wrist. I remember that was usable after 6 weeks and this don't feel as bad somehow so I am hoping it will heal quickly.
The biggest annoyance over Christmas was... handshakes! It's my right hand so I had to greet everyone with an appallingly wet left handed shake. Made me feel like a right cripple. :)
Ouch Minty. How on earth did you do all that ?

Sorry to hear agout the wrist. I broke the scaphoid bone in my left wrist which is a difficult injury to heal. Ended up in plaster and using public transport for 12 weeks, as I wasn't cleared by DVLA and insurance to drive :( Out of interest did you resolve the issue at the dealers with the leaky radiator on the S4R?

Err... urban climbing :)

Actually, I did - well, almost. It took a couple of recorded letters and small claims threats but they have agreed to replace the leaking radiator for me at last. The only problem is that now I can't ride it down there.
Anyone want to borrow an S4RS and take it from Islington to Twickenham for me?

I'd love to but I know I'd want one after riding it about ten feet up the road.

Not after it dribbles engine coolant over your right knee. :)

had exactly the same ! - it's so instinctive to shake hands and takes half a dozen 'painful ones' to learn that it's best to refrain..

I was under impression you control the hand not hand you? ;)
Any how just got in, going to sleep for few h and will go to fatboys bike battery allowing as last few weeks it was dying unexpectedly.
Great turnout! Really good to see some new faces as well as old friends.

Top bunch today, and always good to see faces I first met four years ago!
Hopefully the new faces will join us for tunnel runs and a blast around the Essex twisties in the spring!
JP, how did you get home? You left your Morris Minor at Fat Boys :)

Yes nice to see you all today. I was thinking of heading down to Ace cafe Thursday depends on the weather really. If I can get there it will be around 7:30ish.
Nice to see so many people out on their bikes at this time of year.
Some quick snaps while I was there.
