Assuming he's a fellow rider, and even if he isn't I wish him all the best.

Hi m8
I did reply but the net went bad!!
Yes m8 a fellow rider..used to classic sidecar race and solo..but a few years ago.
I've was thinking going to solo with the lads from my bike club..sold 7 bikes and left 3..the 1300 pan is too big anyway so! The Vmax is a beast and the race baby blade is a pocket rocket! So now one arm races riding might be my aimed...coz I've had my licence took from me😳😂
But all in good time...

I made a brew called One Armed Bandit last year two weeks after dislocating my shoulder when I came off my bike on Skye. Brewed with arm in a sling. So it can be done. :thumb:

Welcome back.
 
Ah the CBR400 Baby Blade. We have an NC23 I need of much attention. I raced my ZX6R at Anglesey for the first time the other weekend. That's me for the season so I'll be tinkering all winter. I hope you get back in the saddle soon!!

Anglesey is beautiful but not at high speeds lol.
Unfortunately my last track race was cadwell after Oliver's mount ( scary track!)
Seems a long time ago! But feels like yesterday.
The blade has been finished in black. And gold...the wheel went off the powder coating for gold! And they done it in blue!! Not functioning well!! Eventually got it sorted..

Thanks m8,
I have to laugh if there's a way to do home brewing well do it!
Mind took a time before my memory come back and the first think was how I will do my AG brewing!! Not about getting fixed...
Obviously the second thought is can I ride again...

Oliver's Mount, wow! That track is like a service road haha! I haven't raced there yet; I don't have a National road race licence. It's one for the future though.

Black and gold sounds ace! Like a JPS Norton!

Good for you mate. Stroke is a terrible thing and I think your attitude is incredible. Keep going!
