Hi (again) as I used to be a member when this site first started ....

I guess you're Kenneth ?

It was a rear wheel blowout. Instant deflation and sent the backend wobbling which quickly translated into a front end "tank slapper". The camber was against me (the outfit is obviously set up for the UK) and as I was already riding on the inside lane, before I knew it I was on the hardshoulder, then the grass verge and then the ditch .

It's probably taken my longer to write out what happened than for te actual accident to take place .... Lol !!

Yes. That is me. I've just spent the last 45 minutes reading your FB page. It looks like you had it rough right from the start. I wish you fast healing, and hope you get a second shot at your trip.

Next time will be my third time but taking a 50 year old triple up into the Arctic in winter is proving a "difficult nut to crack".

I guess you've probably seen now that I've managed to have some pretty "big" adventures on my old W/J equipped triples - Iron Butt Rally finisher, Africa, Russia, all through Alaska etc and indeed up to the Arctic Circle in Summer a few times, but the "winter challenge" so far eludes me.

Still, God willing, 2024 will offer another opportunity
