I had a spill recently. I don't know that age had much to do with bailing, but it certainly affected the time it took me to recover to about 90%, and I'm feeling he effects 4 months later.

I don't know about a "tiger in the tank", but I could do with some Tigger to help me bounce better!

his is where the bike ended up:

Took a wee while to fix it too.

OUCH! Good news you are mending.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

That is not good! Ouch! Don’t like to see them driven into hedges. Still, could have been worse?

No. But fortunately we had split up about 100 metres before this point.
