Spooky that, I don't usually here of that many unseated motorcyclists who
break ribs, but two in one week... You weren't on your way to a wedding in
South Wales were you? !

No, when ever possible I try to avoid Wales. It was going to work
about 10 days ago, got bounced of by the classic SMIDSY incident in
West Sussex. Unfortunately I had my youngest daughter on the back and
she's got some damage to her left knee.

We were going to go and test her brand new drysuit before she goes to
university. However, her on crutches and me unable to use my left side
means it doesn't look like it's going to happen soon.
