The Dear Maid managed to drop her bike again. I got the phone call I dread last night, from a tearful Shadow informing she had dropped her bike. There is a railway bridge near Par Docks entrance where Artics from the docks often drip diesel, just for good measure there are two manhole covers on the bend as well. Just past the dew point last night when the road is a bit greasy she spun out coming out from under the bridge. Luckily is was low speed, traffic was light and she is okay if a little scuffed. Little damage to the bike, the footpeg bar is bent, couple of scabs on the plastic work on the bike but the bike already has some battle scars so nothing to worry about really. Also knocked the visor off her helmet. Helmet and visor aren't marked but one visor pivots is broken, ordered a new set from HJC for £20. Of more concern to me was that she was not wearing her boots but Nikes so she has scraped up her foot which is troubling her, not serious but painful., Also had a lump on her right leg that I can see will bruise up. The footpeg bar is going up to her uncles to be straightened out so I will repaint that and fit it. I had a moan at her for not wearing her boots and protective bottoms, but to be honest, in perspective it's probably the type of spill most of us has had when young and daft, she is okay and relatively unscathed. Quite impressed how tuff the little CB125F is. Stress I could do without nonetheless.

Wearing biking boots through the day is not nice at all, maybe get her some halfway sneakers that provide some protection but are still nice enough to wear when not on the bike? Glad she is mostly ok, she’s a trooper!

Well suitably fed and watered one of her mates called around to take her out for a ride to get her confidence back. Boots and armoured trousers on.

Diesel and man hole covers are all part of learning , unfortunately it only comes with experience. Don't forget to tell her about overbanding as well. I'm glad she's not too badly hurt, it's pride that takes the biggest hit usually.

Glad she's ok

I was up at 05.30 and riding my first lane by 07.00. A glorious morning to be out riding the local lanes and back home by 10.00am..............

if they looked on a Friday it would be less than the Monday ..cause Rewind Ron comes round Friday mornings

I'm surprised you sell any cars with that attitude. I can see it now customer asks question. How many miles has it done Six's reply Have a look yourself you retarded twat

Loads of smelly Welsh cunts in Edinburgh today.

True, she is out with her mother and gone for coffee and cake to cheer her up. Costabucks for me I expect.

I use a leaf blower, works great. Or the air hose from the air compressor, which is slower but still works.

mingling in nicely no doubt

is it really that hard to see what that is .... find your own link.. im walking amongst fucking retards on here.

costa coffee good name for it that

Off to the dump to unload a bed full of yard debris this morning....then back for a spin on the Mullet. Yesterday's weather was beautiful...more of the same today.

Wet and horrible here but clearing up now. Rugby on the box later. Gave the CBF a good clean yesterday along with Shadows bike. Prolly go out for a long sin earlier tomorrow as suppose to be lovely. Oh and I have the weekend off for a change. Took the faded old tank protector off the CBF today and ordered a replacement as the paint isn’t that good. Just for a tidy up really.

I blame who taught her to ride ...

She has both sorts of boots mate, full size gortex and trainer type ankle paddock boots. No excuses she should have worn them. Yes she is a trooper alright, strong independant little woman syndrome. When she was 6 she was nearly kicked out of Karate Club for kicking the shit out of all her sparring partners, she didn't understand the concept of sparing and using the lightest of touches.

Might of said about this before … if you not got one get one .. no water left in places , completely dries bike before putting away after washing

Get what ? a small vacuum cleaner type thing. Don't tell us to get something with no description or link to what it is

Excellent to hear she's ok....another notch in the learning curve.... She can now understand the term: Dress for the Ride & not the destination

No you didn't lend me that DVD Bob

We have Sky TV, 200 channels of crap, our TV spends more time turned off.
