On my way to sort AlIG shims last Friday I hit deep mud across road on A68 two miles south of the border. Scrubbed speed off but lost front at 20 mph. Just scraped panniers on bike but bar bashed me in ribs. Medic wasnt happy with the old crocks readouts (me) so I went off to hospital in Melrose, bike went to Newcastle via the Police. AliG collected me from the hospital with two busted ribs and I stayed overnight with him because they wouldnt let me out otherwise. He ran me up to my hotel, sorted me out with getting spare clothes etc over the weekend . On Monday he collected my bike from Newcastle police putting me on train and taking my bike back to his home.
A real good guy and he wont let me pay him a penny.

Shocked to hear of this disaster Lee and I wish you a swift and absolute recovery. Also, an hurrah to AliG for his assistance to yourself.Â

Eeeks Lee! What a nuisance. How are you doing now? What's the next stage of the rescue operation?
Nice work Ali. Êâ ã£â â á´¥â â Êâ ã£

Hope you and the bike are OK Lee.
Nice one AliG!
I get the impression there's plenty on here that would do the same, unlike a few other forums I frequent.

Ouch. All the best for a speedy recovery Lee and top man AliG.

Im still sore but going up in van to collect bike. Doc says no riding for six weeks in case I fell off. This is first off needing a medic in 42 years.
Maybe I need a sidecar ð¤

This is all very well, but I never got my bloody shims done!
He did help me find an elusive missing main beam on the blue niner. I had worked back wards to find the fault but didn't go far enough. Fault was in those pesky connectors under the air filter. Pulled them apart, sprayed with Servisol, reconnected and job was done. Thanks Lee

No rest for the injured, the Scots want their VFM. The Northumberland police locked the tools and shims up
In Newcastle over the weekend. Diagnosed the Trumpet too

Oh I am not too bad, bike is home but my ribs are sore, doc says six weeks no lifting. Its kept me out of the workshop but I have discovered the joys of brewing coffee.
