  2. Hey, steady now fella - I was brought up in Dundee!! There is, however, a very good reason I left as soon as I was old enough!! Perth is a nice wee town and within 5 - 10 miles you can be on some amazing biking roads.

    Ha ha, you're not wrong! I did try to pick up all the various shards of plastic and superglue it all back together to save a penny or two!

    My next trick may be more along the lines of staying on for more than 30 miles. We'll start low and try to build up

  3. Ah, that's the adrenaline. I picked my FZR up on my own after a highside and rode home only to discover in casualty a few hours later I had fractured my elbow joint and couldn't move it for the next month.

    Welcome.

    Hope the bike is better soon.

  4. Gotta admit, it's been 8 days now and I'm still a tad stiff and struggling to move anywhere with my normal graceful flow. I'm sure nothing is fractured, more likely just an age thing...

    I've booked a sports massage at the weekend...I think it will kill or cure... :anguished:
     
  5. dont go to rose street in edinbro. the massage there will cure you in the short term. but the long term prognosis aint looking to good.

  6. Rose st ,,,,, remember that from the old days , rugby ints and students ,,,,, wonder if it still the same ,,, i doiubt it alas
     
  7. I expect it's because of the bond you have already formed with the Ducati. You won't start to feel better till the new bits go in her. You have just formed a symbiotic relationship.

    My best pal lived on Rose St right above the Kennilworth. I've had many a good night out on Rose St :grinning:
