...get well soon D - as has already been said, at least you broke ribs and not Falco (I'd've traded a few cracked ribs for avoiding the 'maiming' my noisy blue bitch suffered when I chucked it down the road).

I'm a wee bit late to this but never the less you have my best wishes for a speedy recovery DR.

All the best mate.

Cheers again everyone.

.... did sneak out to the garage today - had to look over Daniel's bike and get it sorted to be MOTd tomorrow. Plan was I'd supervise and instruct .... that lasted a little while .... how do you explain how hard to hit something with a mallet and where the blow should be applied? Resorted to demonstrating.
Got it sorted well enough. Main problems were a broken sidepanel - temporary fix of superglue and glassfibre reinforcing and clutch lever snapped (replaced with a brake lever fitted upside down). Mudguard stays bashed straight.
Sort out the footrest angle later .... not too bad and handlebars might be fractionally bent - but no MOT problem.
Job's a goodun. No real problems ... but absent-mindedly trying to pick up Joe's scooter might not have been a good idea. Soon realised that error and stopped that move!

Got my bike on the optimate too - going to be a little while before I'm going to be up to riding that (though I nearly went to test Daniel's once it was together ... but would have been spotted by the mrs)
For goodness sake don't let Pete read this - he'll have kittens too.

roflmao

I can preach etc, but I am a really bad patient so I would be just the same

and some exercise, with in limits will do you good - lounging around doing bugger all is a bad idea!

with limited movement, and not being able to ride - you do realise that your insurance would be invalid currently don't you
(Not joking about that - read the small print in your insurance!), you can get on and do a few small things - cook your wife exotic meals, clean the house, earn brownie points for the future....

oh - you could also finish doing some of those mods!

and did you get the picture of my friends triumph?

Ahh.. teaching the kids the art of bodging. Can't do it with girls though, but maybe my grandson when he's old enough.... hmm... there's a thought. Keep it up! It's what made Britain great you know!

Cheers Pete thanks for the insurance info - though I'm not really going riding yet.
Bigger problem is actually finding my insurance documents .... I've got a producer but can't remember where I've put them!

Got the link to the picture but not sat down to find it yet - I'll get on to that later in the day.

Ring your broker/insurance co.

But tbo I don't see why you need to produce them its on the DVLA database.

No:
My son's insurance for him to ride his bike is on the database
My insurance for me to ride my Falco is on the database

The fact that I was riding my son's bike, with his permission, on my insurance is something that my insurance permits but is not on the database.

I certainly plan to ring the insurance company for a duplicate if I can't find the original (I'll need to report the accident to them anyway - but still have no details of the other party as the police were going to inform me of them but have not got back to me ... and I don't want to chase them up without having the info they require from me!)
Before I contact the insurers I'd better have a good search for the document (bet the mrs tidied it away....) - didn't really feel like doing that yesterday but not feeling too bad today so I'll get on and have a look.

Cheers

You know we should have clocked Andy's post count just after Pete told us about the off. I predict unprecedented spamming during his convalescense. Mind you a few more days of daytime TV and he'll be up and about again.
