well, it wasnt so good for some

Looks like the desmo boys who were there were (on the whole, having a great time)

Casualty list, when I left with Rally in my car - having collected him out of hospital on wobbly crutches with a few broken bones in his foot & cutting his hand badly, amongst some heavy all over bum bruising
also:
TP who had a minor disagreement in a gravel trap (bike ok, apart from slightly bent bars), rider fine (when I left, he was grinning as Dave was sorting the bar changeover for him)
Ali, whose engine in his desmo bike wanted a rest, & needs to visit uncle Nelly,

and all this by lunchtime...

I really hope the afternoon went better - looks like Dickie, Dave, Uncle Dunnie, MW & others bikes were going rather well.

Rally says ta for sorting out the return of his bike later peeps.

on a serious note glad all are ok

And if he's really lucky he might get back all the bits the DesmoDue boys stripped off it....

Oh nooooo

Is that official then - I get first muppet of the year?

For those who don't know - I high sided out of Druids.

Big thanks to CK for getting me home, Duncan for getting what's left of the bike home and everyone for there support.

I was saying to Charlotte that perhaps the worst part of the incident is that I can't say that I learnt anything from it (except what a great bunch of guys the DSC are). I don't think I was pushing that hard - I didn't get any warning before it let go. There is nothing that I can say 'That's where I went wrong - won't do that again'. Ho hum.

Of course being somewhat disabled for the moment does scupper my Desmodue plans. Very much doubt that I'll make Cadwell.

Glad your not too bad Rally. Sorry to hear news tho. Hope repaired soon mate

[AK]

Glad you got her home Michael, Alan says if you need any help.... he has the phone number of a few Ducati mechs & bodyshops for you - nah - gissa call & we'll try & help.

Hope the foot hasnt started to be too painful yet, and also that you made your parents work jolly hard around your gaff getting it 'just so' for you & restocking your dreadfully empty batchelor fridge!
