Managed to trip and fall down some concrete steps ffs.
I think I may have caught Noggin's fuck up fairy.

3/10 for injury, Mrs M tripped over the door step last year and fractured her elbow and damaged the ligaments in her wrist/hand.

Yeah Mrs.Skub did something similar a while back. The FUF is a sneaky bastrid.MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 12:15 pm 3/10 for injury, Mrs M tripped over the door step last year and fractured her elbow and damaged the ligaments in her wrist/hand.

My 80+ mum tried to bunnyhop her pushbike up a kerb. 10/10 for effort. 1/10 for performance - she shattered like an egg when she tumbled off, poor thing. Healing at that age is sloooow ....MingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 12:15 pm

I cringed when I read that. Anything broken North of 60 takes increasingly forever to heal. GWS Mrs.DT.

Re: What have you done today thread?
You 'fell down'?
Sorry, no. I'm afraid at your age the correct language is 'had a fall'.
Re: What have you done today thread?
I spent my morning at an online speed awareness course.
Forced contrition is hard but I think easier via camera at least. Still, I'm now rehabilitated. Yes, sir. Absolutely. I've learned my lesson. I can honestly say I'm a changed man. I'm no longer a danger to society. That's the God's honest truth. No doubt about it.

Commuted on the the bike across to South Wales from Wiltshire. It was a lovely ride early doors with just a mesh jacket and T shirt underneath.
Coming back early this afternoon was a different story, not been so hot on a bike since riding in the South of France some years ago.
Still preferable to riding in the cold and wet thought

Re: What have you done today thread?
Took my baby bike to play with a big bike today!!
Damn it was fun, but a bloody hard ride for a 'newbie'
I'd forgotten how nadgery the road above Val d'Isère gets! Narrow and nadgery Every bump hurts a little in the bit of my arm that the physio thinks we can't solve
But, whilst I probably should have stopped at Val d'Isère I'm glad I went to the top After a 15 minute chill (horizontal wind, no cafe) we headed back down to stop at the pasty shop in Bourg.
It was a lovely ride higher up but in the valley, bloody hell the Monster chucks out some heat
Awesome views (KFB posted similar, I know. But I've only been up once on a bike before today and that was three years ago. So, repeats are here )
Didn't walk to that bit, but a big monument (maybe) surrounded by little cairns
Very basic map of route -

Oh I don't know - I think nearly all of you (if not all) are far enough away that you're safe
And I'm wayyyyyyyy slower than I used to be - and on a much slower bike

Not in the slightest!!! But it was most definitely quicker!!
(I always thought the TLs was a bit of a pussycat, nothing like the widowmaker it was made out to be!!!)

Probably. And the 03/04 ZX10r. I've owned 2 'supposed' widowmakers and neither seemed to be an issue - maybe I just don't ride hard enough
