Tell ya what Steve.. I had to laugh..
Went down to St. Ives earlier this year, not been down there since I went down to a members car. I went to the pub after as I had a campsite with my tent pitched to stop over the night....
But it turned out to be a messy evening in the pub I I dunna remember getting back to the tent...
However I had come onto the forum posting before I'd had to many sherberts  :) and as the evening went on I must have kept posting.... as the following day the postings had got even worse if that was possible  ;D
Anyway I was trying to find the campsite when I was down there but couldn't remember.... think that Tribute must of melted my brain cell :o ;D

I sometimes think about buying an omega just so I can get you up here to service it  ;D
But the state of those ones knocking about now, you'd have to move in. Not sure I'm too keen on that  :o

Hey up Albs.. mate I am so sorry I have lost yours and so many phone numbers  :(

The Fizzy nearly killed me!! So she went for scrap....

Went out on a gorgeous Sunday morning a few years ago.. went to Llangollen, then headed for Barmouth. Not sure exactly why I came off to be fair. I was going but not hard enough to make this beautiful huge sweeping bend... the back wheel stepped out to the right so I steered in... seemed to right itself so though must have been oil or something, so carried on then the back end came around on my right this time the back was sort of overtaking the back. There was a sort of fence then a beautiful green field I assumed I was going into.... so lucky that there wasn't a car coming the opposite way...
I woke up, checked my nuts were still there... then did myself a check over.... my bike was rather beaten up, so lifted her up... then my nose sort of blew which I thought was blood. It was clear fluid that was pouring out for what seemed like an age.
Police came and all that... started my bike and rode her home... not sure how actually as peg was missing hear stiff bent strange etc handle bars turning right whilst going straight  :o
When I got home I was knackered so went to sleep...
Turned out I had concussion which was right weird...

Anyway I lived to tell the tale.... but sadly my bike didn't  :o  :(

No way should the police have let you continue on that bike, nor without a medical check up. Knobs.

Clear fluid pouring out of your nose after a knock is a well known sign of concussion.
You could have saved the long description by saying "I ran out of talent half way around a bend."  ;D
Sorry to hear about the bike though, I know you loved the old girl. :'(
What you driving now ?

To be fair Steve, I was trying to act as normal as I possibly could as I didn't want him to have me for speeding... and so I was telling I was fine.

I did love it. Sentimental value of something you buy that no one else shares with you...
You buy cars, settee, tables you share them with Mrs and children.... and that was just that single item that was purely mine....
I do believe now that the clear fluid was the stuff that protects your brain, and losing to much can have life threatening effects..
So although I do miss my bike, I am a little more glad I am here..

As for another bike Albs.... I think not. Love them until the day I die... but I think that was a big enough warning for me.

As for lack of talent!! I could not agree more  ;D

I still have a hair dressers car that I bought 4 years ago  ;D

Im the same with bikes now. Will always love them, but determined to stay away from them. Apart from the C90 chicken chaser I restored and sold on a couple of years ago.
If you look at my profile thing, you will notice I also have a hairdressers car now. Cant remember which one you had though.

Blimey, the wanderer returns.

Great to hear from you again DLK, glad the bike didn't quite kill you.

I share you sentiments about bikes - I'll not have another since losing the ZX10. Though I really miss them, to the point I have to cross the road when I walk past the bike shop in town, just so I'm not tempted.  But my old bones can't take too much more abuse, and my shoulder still hurts on cold days from the last I ended up kissing the tarmac...   ...and that was well over 15 years ago.


Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :y

We're fine.  I'd like to say we haven't changed a bit since last time we saw you (One of the Newent meets maybe? or was it a Lakes meet?). Obviously I still look like a 21 year old Adonis.
