Today was 'one of those days'...After 4 hours on and off I managed to get the computer to run..Tomorrow it may not, and it turns out my 'repair guy' is on holiday...
Not to worry...I'll bleed the brakes on my Sportster in readiness for getting it back on the road..Well, no, actually...The back one would just not 'firm up' and I've yet to determine why...
Never mind...I had some parcels to pack for sending off...
The problem is as I went into my loft to get some packaging materials the loft ladder collapsed and down I went...Unfortunately I 'did' the same ankle which I injured quite badly a while back...Don't know if it's broken yet but that leg is entirely out of action at the moment and I'll see what tomorrow brings if there isn't any improvement...
Either way I don't think I'm going anywhere under my own steam for a few days...
Apologies to anyone who is waiting for parts...I'll try to get on it just as soon as I can...I've cancelled rest of the day....Ian

I know how you feel, I'm still limping badly from Stamford hall's 5 foot fall, I didn't break anything, but my back is still aching, I have no feeling in my left buttock and my toes are black and blue. I'm still having trouble pressing the clutch pedal on my car a week later. Lets hope it's not broken, there's nothing worse than being self employed and immobile!

When you exit from a hatch you are supposed to do a PLF, Parachute Landing Fall, thus rolling gracefully to a halt ready for action. You will have to work on this if you are going to hop out of a DC3 next year at Arnhem!!

Seriously though, having had my own ankle run over in Uganda several years ago, by an irate Ugandan, (long story), I fully appreciate you pain. Get well soon!

If you want any advice about Harley's, I've been specialising in them for over twenty years now, I specialise in the older stuff but have worked in dealerships and worked on the latest stuff too, feel free to ring e on 07770 876479, I don't sell them, but usually know where to find some at pretty good prices.

Bad News unfortunately...I got a call from the Hospital today and it seems my ankle is broken..That might explain why it's been so bloody painful for the last week......Anyway..next stop is a CT Scan and I don't know what they'll do after that...
So, I'm unsure at this point how long I'll be out of action with this one..

While I've been sat around I've thought up a design for a leg brace that would (should) enable me to walk around...Unfortunately I can't get up to the workshop to make it! ..
Saying that though, the other day a few mates came round after some spares and they got me up there in the wheelbarrow.. They really wanted those parts ....Ian

Not the easiest way to get Ian into his workshop but it worked!!!

John Wayne liberated St Mare Eglise in a wheel barrow......He also had a funny walk. Just get them to put a cast on it and get back to the workshop. Ron

PS. I was going to ask if you had a gearbox main-shaft to clutch key....But I guess I'd better try somewhere else. Ron

Was that a BSA wheelbarrow?

Hi Henri..If only...Amazingly though they are produced in the UK...Seems the Brits can still make advanced weapons systems and wheelbarrows but not much in between ....Ian

How did you get out at the other end Ian, just close your eyes and tip ?
