Thank you one and all you are all very kind.

I am perfectly fit and well, thumb will be good as new in 4 weeks.
The sliders (puig) were excellent, the axle sliders (crash bobbins) which I thought were a gimmick are actually very good to.
Seriously no damage to my bike.

I need to check the tilt switch though.

I screwed up and thats about all I can say really.

PS Jamie we will discuss your last remark further lol.

Sounds like karma giving you some payback for all those "hippy" comments you made about me!:Flip:




Glad you aren't hurt man (repeat ad naseum).

Good job on keeping your cool in a potentially very stressful situation; not grabbing the brakes probably saved your hide a bit.:thumbup:

Glad to hear you're okay bro.

Glad to hear you're relatively okay! Heal fast!

And thanks for the review of the Sliders jeans, as I now own 4 pair.

Nelly, glad to hear it wasn't a serious off and you're going to be OK! Sliders are worth 100 times the cost when you have to use them. Well done!

Heal fast and keep the rubber side down!

Hi Mate,

The sliders performed very well. I think that I probably used them in the way they were intended. A low speed ride that resulted in a single impact low speed slide.
I have good confidence in them now and feel happy to wear them as part of my normal riding apparel.


Nelly.

Ouch Nelly! Glad to hear you are ok and that the gear performed well.

On another note - nice to see you on the forum again. Just the other day I was thinking that I hadn't seen a post from you in quite a while. Hope the new job is going good! :Flash:

No mate, I got up, picked my bike up and carried on with my ride.

PS obviously I meet Mrs Nelly at home who is also a nurse and in IMHO is hot. Mrs Nelly was able to provide marital first aid ie " You stupid idiot, its about time you grew up" lol.
