    Myths & Legends Run - Take 2, 21 March 2010

    in North West Rideouts and Meets

    Posted

    Something has 'cropped up' for me too guys...


    Sunday - on way back from Dev's Bridge, what I thought was just a cold coming on was devloping (fast) into full-blown flu.

    I was a little underdressed but would normally have been ok if a little uncomfortable.


    Half way home I started shivvering - you know the real teeth smashing spasm'y ones you cant stop.

    I really should have stopped - wasnt remotely safe- but all I could think of was gettin home as fast as poss, sod the wind chill.

    Couldnt feel my arms or hands, stalled three times whilst moving ( cant explain why I didnt drop it - should have)

    Being a girly - and a bit self-indulgent I shed a few tears....actually was havin a good old blub until I worked out it was soaking my neck tube and makin me colder.


    I did get home...parked up on pavement.

    Amy got me a hot WB but it was a good 3/4 hr before the shivers calmed down

    It took a hot bath (didnt help much) and about 3 more hours for my extremities to warm back up.....and my arse......lets not go there eh?


    Obviously all made 100 times worse by the nasty lil bug I was nurturing niceley.


    Been off and will be off work all week - on Penecillin & oral steroids.


    First time out of bed today.


    So it breaks my heart cos I was so ready to do this and catch up with some good pals, meet a few new ones...


    Shit havin a wee blub now...silly coo....sooo feeling sorry for my wretched bloody self...


    Guys I hope you have an amazing day I'm sure you will.

    If theres a miracle or if these steroids truly work thier magic - I'll be there.


    If not.....and if you get as far a Wigton ....all ride past my house hanging off those horns!!!! :) ....at least twice... :mrgreen:

    Any local sv650 owner to manchester

    in Pitstop

    Posted

    Is there anyone localish to me who has an sv650 k3 onwards with the lower fairing in place?


    Somehow my lower fairing bracket has broken even though my bike has never been on it's side so f**k knows how


    what I want is to borrow the right hand braket and compare it to the left if it's different I would like to borrow yours to give to my mate who owns his own metal work company to make me a copy...


    I will of course pay for the retal of your braket...


    Even popin round to try my left hand braket on yours to see if they are the same would be a great help as if there the same I will just give my mate my left hand one


    big ask I know...but hopefully someone can help us out

    Anybody tried bamboo?

    in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security

    Posted

    In the marketat moment for a couple of decent base layer tops.

    Some horrendous prices out there, but came across a couple selling kit made from bamboo fibre.

    Sounds perfect from the sales pitch...v soft, light, good wicking/thermal properties etc etc....prices reasonable too.

    Anybody had experience before I waste my hard-earned??
