I'm on here because I have been for years and the chat makes me feel grounded. I routinely use the Tiger 800 and F650 forums initially for the huge wealth of information/ expertise available.

Thanks Ant n Jim. Unfortunately I don't bounce at all unless I've had five pints of lager and a couple of JDs or Dark n Stormys. Maybe that's the answer. If I'd have come off my bike pissed I'd have been ok!!

Thanks Jimmy.

Stu, Hows the new bike?
