I am currently stuck at home after a very close inspection of the bitumen surface 100 meters from home.
I guess the driver of the utility did not see me (He told me so.) as he drove it out backwards onto the road. All I can say is reversing lights can be very harrowing when they are coming at you.
outcome: Honda Swing... 4 body panels damaged
me: stuffed ankle, not broken, but very swollen and sore, stuffed knee with minor gravel rash, and a painfully dislocated shoulder....and learning to do everything left handed.

Ouch! sorry to hear that Kurt. Thankfully you weren't too badly hurt. I got tail ended on the XBR while stationary at a roundabout by a young lass last year (she too didn't see me!) so I can sympathise. Hope you're back riding again soon.

Kurt Mate,
I am sorry to hear of you misfortune. Look on the bright side, crinkley as you are, you will heal. So get on with getting better you old bugger...

Hey Kurt,
Sorry to hear this, as an old fart myself I know that it hurts 10 times more, keep sending in the progress reports, I would really miss your posts, you will sort it all out i am sure.
Best Wishes,
Furry John

Aye Kurt,
Sorry to read of your 'nasty'! ??? I hope the soft tissue mends and that full service is resumed very shortly. I'm still a touch sore having fallen off a 2" step outside the local Post office, sustaining gravel rash and a real thump on the knee cap.
APPLY ARNICA CREAM COPIOUSLY TO THE BRUISED AREA AND SURROUND, BUT NOT TO ANY BROKEN SKIN! supposed to do it ASAP after the incident, but I've found it very effective even after delayed application. Takes the heat, swelling and bruising out of the soft tissue and a cold compress of a bag of frozen peas wrapped in an old towel, will aid the efficacy.
Bloody utes are for the bush, not poncing about in suburbier! :( :( :( When is he going to find the next sand dune in his drive????
Sorry! That's a loaded question for you lot on the 'tail of the coin'.
Have a libation to aid relief, slainte, Bill.

Bad luck matey, hope you heal quickly

Ouch. We don't bounce as well as we did.

I don't know some of you look pretty bouncy to me.

All the best, Kurt. Here's to a speedy recovery. At least you'll have something to do tweezing gravel out of your knees while you're waiting for your shoulder to heal ;)
I'll second the Arnica - it's great stuff and it smells nice :)
Take care,
Dave

Thanks for all your support. I appreciate that I havent been too funny lately and have been preoccupied with other events here and in Melb. This just seems to top it off.
I promise I will be funny again shortly.
-
Glad you are (roughly speaking anyway) OK.

me: and learning to do everything left handed.
I guess you are right handed, and so learning to wipe your arse left-handed is quite amusingly difficult! ;D
Hope everything gets better soon, old bean.
-
yep

I guess you are right handed, and so learning to wipe your ******* left-handed is quite amusingly difficult! ;D
Oh dear, another TC discussion on things that are hard to do left handed :o
On a smut scale of 1-10 I think I'll rate wiping your bum as a 7 on the basis I know where this will end up. Before anyone tries for a 10, assembling a petrol stove that you took out of the back of your Landrover is a 2 for normal people.

I remember a mate at College breaking both of his wrists falling backwards out of a window and finding it very difficult to wipe his arse or keep a friend for a while.

Kurt,
It would appear that the advances in technology taking place elsewhere in the world are either unavailable or unknown in southern Blighty! ;) Times have moved on in the Antipodean personal hygiene culture and a bidet can now be had as an integral part of the 'dunny' or installed alongside. Others may mock and or stick their own index finger through multiple layers of the 'Daily..........', with the resulting rse the colour of a baboon! ???
However, I'm confident that you have invested in one of these: 'Biobidet' (http://www.biobidet.com/)!
Here in cooler climes, sphagnum moss, cools, cleanses, washes and applies antibacterial products all in one handy package! ;D
It may come to us all in time! ???
My regards, Bill.
-
Sphagnum moss, I can quite happily say, is quite a refreshing item to use for that purpose!

some one liners
......Funnily enough I have noticed people backing off for the old LH handshake.
and thats not tongue in cheek either....
the closest thing I have to a bidet is being dumped by a wave at the beach.

aYE kURT, (left hand typing!)
1. A little 'limp wristed', not the usual hand crusher! Wear a sling on your right arm! ;D
2. Another uncouth youth into 'gobstoppers', which are definitely not PC confectionary these days!
3. Getting dumped is one thing, it's the getting hung out to dry after, when you feel real crocked.
G'day, Bill.

Hi Kurt
Sorry to hear about the spill. Get well soon and keep the jokes coming.
