All the best with getting back up to speed, Yorkie.
Now's a good time to read some m/c books.  You could check the library.  Even the York library can get books in from other libraries if they don't have any.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Thanks guys, really appreciated, had c5-c6 vertebrae screwed together, they were pinching nerves, really gave me hell on the Border Run.
After 5 days in hospital I am not allowed to lift heavier than 3kg or drive for 6 weeks, when I asked about riding he said leave it in the shed and look at it.
I have told Pezzz I will supervise his cruise install and do pics for members info if it is successful.

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
I believe in the "hereafter", every time I go to the shed I have to think "what am I here after"

Yorkie
Wishing you a speedy recovery, So that you can go off and cruise some more miles on your ST1100  :hatwave
Maybe a run to the OzSTOC National Rally in Toowoomba is a big incentive to get going again  :grin

YORKIE, you had me a bit concerned, I remember you mentioning neck problems at Balladonia.

Hope the country air in York quickens your recovery.
