Hi Dog,no offence taken m8. In the accident I damaged my left leg so severely that even with a brace it's on par with a chocolate fireguard only presumably may not taste as good, then to cap it all where the impact split my blood bucket it has left me (amongst other things) a problem with balance so not only can I not manouver a bike in and out of the shed or when parking/parked up because of said leg I also have this wonderful ability to fall over without any ones assistance. It's a total bitch cos I learnt to ride in 1964 on an old 1928 Royal Enfieild V twin with hand change, a total loss oil system (exposed valve springs etc) and a skirt guard still fitted to the rear mudguard. I'm probably lucky as its taken till now (with several crashes on route) to really do a good job on myself thanks to a daft bint in a motor who didn't think rear view mirrorrs were for anything other than applying makeup!
