Rich, I really like that pic of my car. It did look really isolated when we came back out the Museum again. Nearly the whole car park was empty :shock:

We left about 5.30, and had a good 20-30 miles of 0-40mph traffic upto the roadworks on the M40. Took a detour on way home as the signs said the M25 was 'congested' from J17 -J12 and experience shows that can be bad. Came home via the West End and a walk round Trafalgar square. Finished off the day nicely.

Gutted didn't meet up for the convoy. My timing was slightly messed up!!
Still, did hit 135 on M42 triying to c atch you

That does look nasty, one of the reasons i never rode a motorbike not some much my lack of confidence but too many nutters out on the roads.

I hope you have a speedy recovery.

F*ckabout that is a serious break.

Really gutted for you. Do as my physio yourself when your out of the cast to get as much movement as you can.

Left hand by the looks of it. Not left handed i hope. Use it as much as you can

Get well soon, Rich. I broke my left wrist playing football 25 years ago and was off flying training for 8 weeks. It took a long time to get full strength back (no comments about the possible post-op exercise regime, thank you - keep it clean).
