Is that sand, are you sure?
Most problems can be solved with a suitable application of throttle!

Not good news Bill, hope it is not too sore standing around that dentists chair all day.
Seems like JP has started a craze in busted legs, hope your not out of the saddle for too long.

Re: Saturday ride 3/12/11
Well, are you sure you weren't riding with JP. Talk to JP about this issue. can you please remove me from you email list. I can,t handle 2 people with broken legs emailing because they are bored.
Ken has got alot to answer for.
Hope to see you at the Xmas dinner. JP will give you lift there as it may take the heat off him.
Speedy recovery

Re: Saturday ride 3/12/11
That's not good news BIll - I am assuming at least your riding partner showed some interest in your welfare?
So don't let the fact that you will be in a cast for at least a couple of weeks and then at least a moon boot or similar for 5 weeks dampen your spirits
It's a great opportunity to catch up on all of those small jobs you have been putting off like your tax returns, getting all the cobwebs off the cornices, rearranging your golf bag ready for when you can walk again, etc.
Regards
JP

Re: Saturday ride 3/12/11
I appreciate Ken's effort with my intro to dirt riding, he was the complete dirt guru at all all times. When I came off going up the gravel mountain with huge deep water ruts and soft gravel we did stop before we took off to discus the idea of trying it out. I reckoned if Ken could do it I could also. He seemed to just fly up there so anyway the rest is history and I don't put any blame at all on my riding partner who I am sure I will venture forth with again. Ken I wouldn't mind seeing the other photos you took

Don't worry Bill, we are just taking the piss out of Ken.
We do this sport at our own risk, but it's nice to blame someone else ( Ken).
