The best thing about friends......

Is that when you do or say something daft they are there for you.
My extended family of Team Spanner again came to my rescue at the Norschlieffe.
Big thanks to 'The Safety Officer' for looking after me after my untimely parting with my motorcycle on Sunday.
Tended to my wounds, helped me out of my leathers, made sure I was comfortable, took me to the garage so I could pay the recovery fee and then delivered me to my front door to complete the trip.
Nice one mate.
Many thanks.

Mark.

Had the pleasure of being invited along to join Mark and the BMW boys at the Nurburgring this weekend...as you'll be aware Mark decided that he couldn't be bothered to ride his bike home so instead chucked it into the armco so that he could a ride back in comfort in the Audi TT.

Anyway here's some pics

Anyway get well soon Mark!!!

Binned it at the Ring

Hi guys,
News on the weekend at the Norschlieffe.
Well I binned it.!
The bike is busted. rear shock parted company with the chassis and so it became a low rider, and that is just about it, the shocklink collapsed as it hit the armco barrier, was unable to ride it so had to be recovered (180 euros) to a local garage in Adenau, BMW assist will repatriate the bike back to the UK.
I am OK.
Whacked my left shoulder, left side ribs are tender, so no larfing, left foot took a whack as I went down (lost front end on the Mini Carousel), foot badly swollen and really sore, so I am walking very painfully and can only wear LARGE shoes or sandals.
Will be OK by silverstone which has also been booked.
Should have some piccies to post when I get them of the bike and the d'mage (French).
Been signed off sick for two weeks, so hobbling around the house, feeling sorry for my self.
Got some pills from the Docs to take for pain and swelling.
Lucky it wasnt the duke I took.
That would have made me cry and probably done more d'mage at it is more fragile that a big K1200 BMW Sport.

Keep ya'all posted.

Mark.
