Re: Bad news and more bad news
Thats a pain in the arse John......BOOM TISH!!
Sorry mate but I couldn't help it. Hope you get it sorted to some extent. Back problems are mongrels.
If you need anything just yell.

Re: Bad news and more bad news
sorry to hear, i can fully sympathise as I too have back injuries / hip issues. But a ride now and then is better than no ride at all.
PM if you want, happy to help if I can

Re: Bad news and more bad news
Thanks guys, been a bit down in the dumps and this heat doesn't help.
But I WILL ride again. Maybe not much or often but I am determined (okay stubborn) as I especially enjoy the track days. Oh and the dirty days...and the road trips...
