| Today was designated a clean the 'Wing' day.
OK, that was the plan.
What actually happened was I sat all day in the local hospitals EMU, (Emergency Medical Unit) whilst my wife was getting excellent service from our great National Health Service.
She has had breathing probs for a few days and after checking the 'Wings' service manual I decided she really needed to see a medical professional. If she had an 'FI' lamp it would have been illuminated.
Long story short, she's kinda fine, on meds and at home that's the main thing.
My Silver Wing however is filthy. Bug splattered and in dire need of a good clean.
Tomorrow! |

| Sorry to hear that, Doug - the wife, not the dirty bike!
I had my four days in hospital last year because of my lungs. I wish her well - very soon at that - and hope you don't get too anxious.
Best wishes. |

| Waspie, Glad the wife is doing better. I cleaned my bike last weekend. It sure needed it. I decided to clean it after Bob put the new fender on. Try and get some sleep. |

| Doug, Glad to hear the wifey is feeling better. And if she is feeling better...just tell her to go out and clean your bike. Then you can tell us just how good your health care is after you are hauled off to the hospital with multiple injuries. lol |

The Health Service doesn't take kindly to self inflicted injuries! When you are taking the dog for a walk let it pee on the Silverwing, dog walking and Silverwing washing in one. Cheers, |

| Tinman,
You and your family are in my prayers. My brother had a brain aneurysm about 5 years ago. The doctors said it was miracle he survived. He was back on the Fire Dept. driving the engine six months later. He officially retired two weeks ago. Hang in there.

| Thank you for the encouraging words . The doctor told him that he might be able to go back to work in a few week if it goes well .He is a core driller in the mines and he did not know if he could go back to work . We are hoping for best.He is my riding buddy. |
