Hi

I have a little news, and as a few members of the forum know already I had quite a serious accident recently, be it a bit silly!

I made a BMX bike from scrap parts at work, and as I always wanted one when I was a little lad, thought on the way home with it, I would have a play with it on some skate park.

Next thing I new I was in the CT scanner at Hospital, where they discovered I had three points of swelling on my brain, and a bleed to my brain.

I was in hospital for a while, and then have been off work for a while, untill I was ready to go back which was yesterday!

I still have to avoid exercise and take it easy, but at least I am not at home bored!

So due to this accident, I thought what the heck, I may not be here tomorow, so bought myself a little tractor, this will appear shortly on the forum in a suitable section.

Anyway, now you can all laugh at me!

Cheers

Dave

Hope you're on the mend and if it made you go all out for a tractor then maybe we should all get off to the skate park Wink

Hi

Thanks all for your replies!

Peter WPG, I like that helmet! very modern! How much do they cost!!! Shocked

I am not sure if I would bother with another vehicle, never mind a tractor if I had to go through all that again to get another!! hehe

Rick, a safe hobby, can't think of anything better than a nice heavy tractor, lots of iron around me!

Cheers

Dave
