Yes Mike. There were 6 Trixters and 5 'fillers'....I think?

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Hi Guys

Just to let you know that I heard on Sunday that Robin (KTM990) has had a stroke and is in the National Hospital For Neurology and Neurosurgery in central London - not sure how serious it is - Will try and see him this week.

20 years ago a friend of mine had a stroke at 30. He made a full recovery. The fact that he was 30 probably helped. It can happen any time if one is unlucky enough. Take care of yourselves out there and try to be as healthy as you can after 40.

R1200S. It’s gone. Had it 11yrs. My favourite bike in 42yrs riding.

Bugger. Must be the same Robin that was on my Flash Tour a couple of years ago. He was with a mate with a newish black Fireblade. Nice chap. Fingers crossed for a good recovery.

Hi
Went and saw Robin last week and he was okay but has lost the use of his right side and will be in hospital for around 8 weeks - At the moment it does not look like he will be able to ride again :( .

Thanks Steve. Not good :( , but still fingers crossed. I know of some astounding stroke recoveries.

Just remembered it was John, Robin's mate with the 'Blade.
