Okay, I promise that if I fall off I'll try and do it to the kwak, plenty of them about.
Bobbi, I'm easy to replace there are at least six of me in my head at any given time. :smt002
Dave, I put it down more to a mixture of luck, bloody mindedness and notes made during the occasional trip into the scenery. Don't think I've mastered it yet.

Will you lot please stop throwing your bikes at random hedges, verges, bits of tarmac and the like?
a. you're fast using up the supply of spares that are about
b. you're endangering a relatively endangered species anyway (falco)
c. I want to be able to get insurance on an Aprilia next year (you from Aprilia RiderSite? errm yeah.. why? Sod off, all you lot do is throw bikes down the road..)


ithankyew.
...no comment-ish (remembering my sophomoric tankslapper in Wales a few weeks after buying my first Falco). Glad you're ok :smt006

The ride out at Bungay brought it home to me really how juvenile my riding skills are. I rarely go out and play on the bike - I mainly ride it from A to B on straight roads. Being Billy-no-biker-mates (close by) probably doesn't help.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Cheers Kerry. If you ever feel like a gentle bimble just say the word. Sure there's somewhere in the middle that would do.
