Rather dull morning with a patent attorney, then as we're wapping up the meeting I get a call from the SO. No2 son has been injured in rugby and ambulance has been called. Could I come straght back. Cue trip to RUH A&E dept, xray, broken collar bone. Not been home a couple of hours when No1 son calls on his mobile. "Dad I've just come off the bike on the big roundabout on the Trowbridge bypass" Says he's alright so I cycle down to help him push the bike back home. Fortunately he is ok apart from a few scrapes. Unlike his mates he's got decent mx boots and a good jacket with armour, and wonder of wonders, he actually wears them! RH footrest left a nice groove in the tarmac too. The Aprilia came off ok. Bars, footrests, brake lever, exhaust all a bit bent, and the plastics look a bit secondhand but all in all a lucky escape methinks. JB
