Rsser's accident.

[Woodwould]

Not all security screens are that sensitive. Just in case, I carry in my passport, a letter from my doctor detailing my metal inclusions.

Geeeeeezzzzzzzzz Ern this is no good. I was thinking what a nice day to go for a ride.

Think i will still go though, i know you wouldn't let a little thing like this stop you on your bike.

Get back on real soon - BTW we haven't heard of the repairs required to mount up again.

Cheers

Bluddy hell. Just caught up with this thread - best wishes, Ern.

Thanks again folks.

Calm, see post 42 re repairs.

The insurer is being quick; phone report yesterday and the assessor is coming tomorrow - and there's only one m/c specialist around.

And one bit of luck; at the insurance renewal last month I opted for gear coverage so that will cover the helmet replacement.

Ern, I hope you make a quick recovery.
It looks like you and I don't bounce so well any more.

Maybe Ern needs a Superman cape as well

Nasty one Ern. A quick recovery I hope.

All the best Ern for a speedy recovery

Faster than a speeding echidna, leaps shoeboxes at a single bound ...

True; at least the cheques don't bounce anymore either

Thanks again guys.

Getting a lot of reading done; Hock's book on sharpening is on order.

OK Mod. How 'bout moving this to Nothing at all .. so new turners don't have to worry about the diff btwn catches, digs and crashes?

Many thanks to all for your good wishes, and esp to those who've PM'd.

I'll post an 'I have returned' (ahem) thread when the next piece is finished.

Commiserations on the crash Ern, sorry to hear you have no recollection to help you work out what to avoid next time (cars maybe?). From the sound of the damage to the bike you may be very lucky you aren't showing us xrays of the inside of a reconstructed knee. I cleaned up a car with the cylinder head of my Guzzi once and the big metal protrusion is the only reason I've still got two legs. May your recovery be swift and sure, and I hope you can share some of the things you learn with all this enforced research time when you "return".

[rsser]

Thanks Peter.

The benefits of a transverse V-twin eh. Nice one.

The cop who did the report rides a Guzzi; he did say he was wondering about the sense of continuing to ride given the hazards.

[NeilS]

Just spotted this news.... what a bummer, Ern, first the Stubby and maybe now the motorcycle. What are you doing to yourself?

Was also sorry to hear about the injury to your person...

Best wishes for max recovery

Thanks Neil. Bike's repairable within agreed insured value acc to the assessor. New screen and fairing panels mean I won't have to scrub the bugs off after the trip ;-}
