Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!!

A slight case of knee-monia?  :grin  That is as close as I can get to straightening my leg




Don't worry about the knee Kev, send photo of the Mighty ST1100.

Seriously, get fit and well soon.  As some else said (or something along these lines), at least you'll be higher on the knee replacement list, but a hellua way to get prioritised.
Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

Evenin' All...

Tipto and moi got home around 14:30 having had a good run on all the farming back roads to Bendigo before a little sight seeing over Mt Alexander and more back roads to Mt Macedon then home.

Special mentions to Stroppy for the digs, tours and the great company and to Stimpy for the thoughtfully well chilled beer and nibblies, with a bonus thank U for the SRV tent, which strop fittingly has liberated.

Brilliant weekend :hatwave

Cheers, the can :-)

Thanks to all.  I had a great time.  I didn't see anyone this morning as I left early (I usually do) and headed south to Warrnambool.  I shall return to Adelaide tomorrow.
And just as well you did. My alarm didn't go off and you woke me up. Thank you.
Cheers,
Gary

Hi Kev,  shocked to see that you had an "off".  I hope you and the bike are back in one piece soon.   Missed this trip as I am caravanning with friends through New South Wales. Hopefully will catch up with you at one of the sa rides when your back in one piece.

I dialled TAC to make a claim at 9.50 am. Was put on hold until they answered at 10.15. Have just finished chatting at 11.50

I now have some details of who and where to contact regarding location of bike.

Home safe and sound by 2:20 pm.

Only had a couple of heavy showers just after the bottom of the range at Toowomba. Just enough to wash the bugs of the windscreen and the dust off the Bonnet and roof.

Cheers,
Gary

I stopped in Bellata to look at where I had the accident, 18 months ago today.

This is the driveway he was turning into.

This is where he was coming from.
