Heal fast brother – lucky the bike doesn’t look too bad for that kind of off!
Actually I’m a little surprised – why didn’t you just put more pressure on your knee to save the front like I do all the time when I slide the front on the road?
Get a triumph alright!

Maybe the editor would be better off to leave the actual fast riding to younger, fitter, more agile bikers? Maybe he’s not as coordinated as when he was younger? (Hard to imagine, I know.) Instead, he might consider selling the Duke and watching from the sidelines with hot dog in hand. Maybe he should even consider the slower paced luxury only afforded by a Gold Wing? (eg. goldwingnewstoday.com) Any thoughts on this? On a related note… I love the x-ray. Almost as cool as if you had swallowed a bunch of nuts and bolts — or maybe even a greasy chain. Got an encore planned?

Get well soon! Alan mentioned some of the details at lunch today during the ride – you were missed! He said you were putting in some good lap times. Take care, and hopefully the surgery went well!

A sad blip in the life of Mr Ducatinewstoday and his bike. Heal fast! We want to see the posts about the rebuilding of this beast too.
