On Monday some myopic twat stain decided my bike looks better like this. But if they were so confident in the quality of the modifications why didn't they stop to chat instead of driving off?    On the upside, my second enduro's tomorrow and I have a bike twice as powerful as last time.  And I've never ridden it.  I'm gonna die. But at least that dickmunch didn't get me on Monday.  |

A good arguement for scythes on bikes. :-)

GR,
Glad you're alright. Sorry about your bike, hope you fared better.
BTW, I have an alibi. I was on a different continent at the time with witnesses. Okay, so I don't have witnesses yet but I will as soon as I get paid. so there!

Oh man. So, so far: Hit and run driver trashes ZX-7R Enter enduro, don't feel happy on the KLX, whole beginner group falls over on a big climb on the sighting lap and I can't restart bike. Then I stall again and can't start. And again. Drop out within 50 meters of starting the first lap. Arrange to hit the trails on the KLX, but every time the fuel's turned on it pours out the float overflow. No sign of spare parts for ZX-7 Hit the trails on the Serow. hit a big puddle, bury bike up to the tank in mud, go straight over the bars and bury head in mud up to my neck. Tractor required to free bike from bog. Find RSVP wedding invite I've forgotten all about, try to RSVP really late with a "duh - I don't know". Miss wedding as no transport. ZX-7 fairing arrives, without bracketry and screen and for 60 quid more than I was quoted. While I'm talking to helpful folk at bike shop someone drives over my mountain bike and bends the wheel. Internet connection dies. Lucy Lawless returns all my letters and the engagement ring. I now look like this:  PS - I made the Lucy Lawless bit up and as you may have gathered I fixed the internet. Figuring the world works in certain ways (or at least that it should) I have bought a lottery ticket. I expect to choke to death on it somehow. Oh, and I was never hurt in the crash. Any of them. |

LOL. Poor GR.
You have much more hair than that.
My suggestion is to eat chocolate and drink wine.
It's all good after that.

Hit and runned bike is on the road again. Had an embarrassing breakdown, cos when I put the tank back on I crushed the fuel line. There's enough in the pipes to get about 3 miles at town speed.
Went to my first kickboxing lesson for a month tonight, punched some faces. <sigh> I'm a whole person again. ;D

If you saw these faces, YOU'D wanna punch them! ;D It's a controlled environment and consenting adults, and the cameraderie is great. There simply cannot be any egos or bullshit, cos you'll get found out real quick. Hence the nicest people are kickboxers, no-one else lasts. |

Bendy? If you can kick the other guy in the head without putting *yourself* in hospital then that's good. ;D I'll pro'ly never do the splits now but I'm lithe enough to kick a guy of ~6'5" in the jaw. And experienced enough to punch them in the ribs instead.  |

LOL, wouldn't kicking someone in the jaw hurt your foot a lot?? And GR, that does mean that you have to be bendy...or at least, bendy in my books and with my hamstrings |
