Tut, tut...anyone who had a Panther could only expect grief...now, a wee Velo Valiant...
Afraid the Thruxton would have broken my leg...Larry, I'm still wincing at that description..eeeeek!
Got a sore leg today anyway...climbed out the back bedroom window on to the dining room roof, to fix the toilet cistern overflow (JAKE AGAIN!!), and then realised I would have to climb back in...oh, dear, barked shins!
And the window cleaner along the road watched me climb in, without either
a) asking what the H*** I was doing climbing in someone's window, or
b) offering to help!
Oh, all done in my slippers too...
