Coming on but progress is really slow. Still trying to be back on a bike in April but it may not happen or it may. Walking further, managed round the block the other day, new record. That’s about 900 yards I reckon.

Still in a lot of pain, drugged out of my head most days. Not looking forward to Xmas if I’m honest.

Speaking to Roo a fair bit, he’s having a rough spell and it shows that I should be grateful for what I have.

interested about the Stradas Ken.  I have a pair lurking in the workshop somewhere.  Is it still possible to get the service kits?

Yep still possible but not cheap. Place in Itsly does a lot of the parts. I’ll see if I can find a link.

Good to hear of progress Ken. Having the riding as aim to focus on useful too.

Maybe a group purchase of that "Bar-Humbug" light would be in order to strengthen the curmudgeonly spirit on here  ;D adversity a good motivation in life.
