    I assuming the thumb. Right thumb means he probably can't work a
    throttle comfortably.

    Me, I'd just wire it fully open and ride on the kill switch and the
    brakes, but you know what a wuss he is.

    There's always a spare bike at the Chateau, if it isn't that.[/QUOTE]

    If you were a decent bloke you'd offer him a spot as your bitch for
    the weekend.

    Nor the front brake. Whilst it's not my x-ray, the circled area is
    roughly where the break is. I'll try and take photos of the x-rays
    when I'm back at the fracture clinic.

    The lump of plaster that's immobilising the break isn't exactly
    sightly, either:

    Thanks, the offer is appreciated, along with all other offers of
    bikes.

    Looks like you and the bike got off lightly.

    How fast were you going, you daft twat?

    Oo fark!

    You are a clumsy fucker, etc......
    Got a headache?
    Very nearly missing bits of thumb, eh?

    If you're still sore when Platyfest comes round, I'll bring you a bottle
    of Bush (beer, not whiskey), it's good pain relief.

    Feckin good at relieving a chap of consciousness, too!

    No - it's slide damage not a sharp blow. Although some would say there
    would be no way of differentiating between before and after.
    There is a 5p piece size flesh missing close to the lower knuckle.

    You must've been going some then.

    It might cost you a bit to get it back on the road and for some new kit
    but thank your lucky stars it's only going to cost money and a bit of
    soreness :)

    It was merely an observation. I fear for your sanity if you get
    involved in a slagging match with Adie.
