just to let folks know that Young Mr Grace - sorry, D Rider had an off earlier today
was knocked off by a car while taking his sons 125 for an mot
He has broken some ribs and is being kept in hospital over night. Rather scarily, Sky TV are making a series at the hospital and he tells me he is going to be in it....
He is in good spirits and says it is a hell of a way to spend his son's 18th birthday!
He neglected to tell me which hospital he is in, but I did tell him to ask the nurses for a catheter and a daily enema.... I am caring like that
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

The things people will do to get on TV never fail to surprise me !
Hope you don't feel the need to laugh or cough too much and heal quickly.

Bloody hell Andy! Hope you get soon well mate. At this rate of celebrity exposure... you'll be on Big Brother soon.

The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

He wants that goody's fame

Sorry to hear that, Andy. Hope you're not in too much discomfort. So for your son's birthday present you trashed his bike? Looking on the bright side, at least it wasn't the Falco...
Get better quickly, and make sure you're fit for June (I guess Newark is expecting too much now...)

Get well soon Andy. Glad to hear your in one piece.
Leave the small bikes to the young ones, they bounce better.
