Hi, I,m still alive & kicking , many thanks for your supportive & positive posts, a great spirit lifter

. I got up this morning for work & didnt feel too bad, I left for work a bit early to miss the worst of the traffic , by the time i got to work i seemed to have loose,nd up quite a bit . the only problem i had at work was my overalls & work boots rubbing on the road rash & a slight stiff neck ! before I came home I had an extra long hot shower which eased the stiffness so I rode two short loops before riding home making my total 57ks for the day.
When I got home my wife told me there was a message on the answer mach. from the cops saying the rego. number I gave them didnt match the make of car I gave them

I more than likely got some of the numbers cocked up or it may explain his hurry to get away
The bike seems OK altho there are some heavy gouges on the rear changer & the right peddle dust cap is squashed flat ! but it all operates OK .
Once again thanks for your concern , the Fellowship of the Spoked Wheel is alive & well
