On an island near Hampton in Arden. I was wearing a thermal jacket rather than my leather jacket as it was cold. Jacket is ripped all up the right arm. Scorpion can scratched to f@ck, fairing slightly scratched, crash bung worn down a bit, bar end scratched and mirror slightly scratched. I've got a dull ache in my right shoulder and a few layers of skin from my elbow are still on the tarmac. I was seeing stars for a few minutes after, but got straight back on it to ride home. I'm undeterred

It sounds ok in terms of crashes. Let's hope you're fixed soon.

Off till 5th of Jan, plenty of time to nip out for a spin
. Why when we bikers have an off, do we want to get straight back on the bloody thing that could have just cost us our life? Are we a different breed do you think?

Very much so.
You have a crash and you get two responses:-
1) How's the bike and when you riding again
2) Time to get rid of that dangerous thing before it kills you.

Pussies.....I've had my knee/bars down loads of times.

I've used 3.5" maxis tubeless tyres running about 23 psi on my freeride bike and was impressed how low you could get on a good berm, but the only time I got a bar down D was when I went down
