ah spill the beans this sounds interesting
BBQ in North Kerry 16th July
- Thread starter Mide
- Start date
this sounds interesting hahahaha
Had a wee off, so hafta cancel
Our young lad was 18 this week so we decided to get him a trials bike. He's dead keen to get going on a bike and I kept telling his mother that a trials bike would be the safest way to go (ho hum). Anyway, we picked out a nice Sherco 250 and when we went to collect it on Tue evening I, of course, had to take it for a spin around the yard. All was going well until I flicked it into 2nd and fcuk me, it took off like an aeroplane, straight into a big, very solid harrow at the side of the yard (a harrowing experience, yeah, yeah). Brought to Naas hospital and then on to Tallaght where I am now, after having 2 plates and 13 screws put into my left arm, lots of cuts and bruises too, and will have a cast on for 6 weeks.
Was I wearing a helmet, er no, was I wearing gloves, er no, was I wearing boots, er no, do I feel stupid, er yes.
Anyhow, the upshot of it all is that I have to cancel going to the BBQ in Kerry, apologies Kev and Mide.
It'll be a great weekend. Hopefully see yiz at the next one.

I'm back in the running for the bog roast; having sidestepped a birthday party - how do I find the arena?
I'll post the lat longs here on Tues or Wed.
The house is halfway between Tarbert and Ballylongford, just off the R551.
Good to have you back on board Gerry
