    A finishing mower on a 35x or 135 is what ye all need instead of looking like clowns on a rolly toys tractor :D:D:D

    As would I! I do not bounce around on my bikes. Mild bunny hopping in an emergency is about the height of it. There's Road Bike Party 1 too which is pretty cool. The guy who did them, Martyn Ssjton, was paralysed from the waist down in a motorbike accident half way through the making of that linked video. Scary stuff. And so sad. Genius on a bike though.

    ETA Different guy, but there's turf in this video!

    Shocking how quick it can happen. Did you watch the documentary on the National Rehabilitation hospital? Saddest programme I may have ever seen. Lots of hope etc. But so many people with such catastrophic, life changing injuries. And so simple it can happen. Really makes you count your blessings seeing something like that.

    Have another mate who came off a motorbike that was told he would not walk again but persisted. He's walking away now doing kickboxing and all. His back still gets stiff and the likes tho

    They're only guessing sometimes, I was told I'd definitely lose a finger, probably lose my hand and possibly my arm when I got septicemia once.

    Horn branding a ewe lamb at dipping time, hacksaw slipped and clipped my little finger. Got infected due to the lovely clean job of that day - despite me washing it out after. Small simple operation to let the corruption or whatever it was and IV antibiotics and I was right as rain. Still got all ten fingers and twelve toes.

    You were lucky.
    My cousin lost his thumb and his hand is looking bad with a problem showing further up the arm too. Sometimes things go bad !!

    Your after reminding me of my auld lad when I was only 4 or 5 years old. He was splitting timber and somehow managed to chop off the top of his finger with an axe. The man doesn't believe in doctors so he gave himself a few cc of pen strep to stop it getting infected :rolleyes: I also saw him stitching himself with a needle and thread another time he got a bad cut on his arm and resetting a broken finger with plaster Paris himself!

    He must have a fairly high pain threshold to be able to stitch himself . I would be getting faint if the doc takes out the needle for a jab !

    He's a hardy sort alright, he fell off the chimney another day putting up a television ariel, landed on his arse, stood up and headed straight up the ladder again. He's like health and safety's worst nightmare.
