    I think the key to Mod 1 is staying calm. And just think... if someone offered you the opportunity to play safely with a large bike on a test pad you'd jump at the chance. In comparison, Mod 2 is just a nice ride-out with another bike. Good luck, you're nearly there.

    Just to add that I really was joking then. There are lots of countries that rival the UK for quality of healthcare (Cuba being a very good example).

    Yes, but they'd probably have tied it to the rear end of a horse.

    £120 - could have been worse.

    Numbers 3 and 4, Geoff - will get my other half to take some pictures later as I did promise to post them here. As for the helmet, I'm going for the Shoei JO Hawker TC‑5. I think I'll need the inserts changing so I have two sizes put aside at Motolegends and am popping down there for a fitting this morning.

    Thanks mate. It was only four hours in the chair teserday a;lthough i'd be lying if i said it din't hurt (a lot) from start to finish. Having multiple tattoos requires that you conveniently forget the pain from previous experiences, because it's not pleasant!

    Morning all. Last day of my three-day extravaganza today... root extraction, tattoos and now new helmet. Hopefully just painful for the wallet this time around

    Thanks Ian - I'm actually having two done, hence the 6 hours (one of my others took nine hours, mind). Anyway, I'll definitely post some photos although I may wait for them to heal a bit first.

    Thanks Caroline. It's actually really hurting now, but hopefully I can have some soup later this evening as I'm starving (and definitely no alcohol). Got six hours in a tattooist's chair tomorrow - I guess the timing could be better

    Well, I can’t say that it was a pleasant experience but it’s done, thank god. I do look a bit swollen though!

    Just popping out for a while

    Have to agree, that colour scheme is an abomination.
  13. learningtofly
    I'm not logging in again until tomorrow evening.

    Actually, my dentist is pitching for the implant gig, so I'm sure he'll be doing his level best to minimise any discomfort
  15. learningtofly
    Thanks.
  16. learningtofly
    That sounds like something to be avoided too

    Well, after a week of ineffective antibiotics, agony and about 2 hours sleep per night, I'm now booked in for an extraction on Wednesday afternoon. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

    Blimey. This thread has evolved a bit since I posted those photos. @Slowlycatchymonkey Sorry to hear about your sister - that's awful. Yes, Steve McQueen was no angel, that's for sure. Neither was Sean Connery, from what I recall; didn't he say in an interview (after being accused by his former wife of physical and psychological abuse) “It’s not the worst thing to slap a woman now and then...”, going on to qualify it by suggesting that it's best to do it with an open hand?

    Not entirely sure why you'd even suggest that there's a parallel, but i agree about the image.
  20. learningtofly
    You haven't lived
  21. learningtofly
    That confused me too, but it's definitely not borne out be their website.
  22. learningtofly
    Yes, saw that, thank you. They've already price-matched the cheapest BF offer I could find and then undercut it by 10% so the deal I've got is a good one. They haven't actually discounted the one I've ordered in their own sale, either (just the black and red variant).
  23. learningtofly
    The promised tattoo photos! These are the one's I have - the new/scheduled ones are a little different.
  24. learningtofly
    I'm not sure that I'm reading it like that - it sounds more like consequential loss to me (although IANAL).
  25. learningtofly
    Easier said than done - that was me trying
