Owner/builder of www.dogdragons.com, (a bike web site if didn't already know) can't call it work as I don't get paid fer it.
Broke too many bones to work full time, still could be worse, I can still ride my bikes (some of the time at least)

Hi killer I had a few probles : broke my lsft leg when 17, kneecap is now 1" higher than it should be and has 2 types of artheritus.
L4/L5 fusion/decompression to my spine.
two broken collar bones from2 different bike crashes, the odctors can't (or won't) fix
lots of metal in my left wrist, again a bike crash
Broke my sturnum, oh, and some nut hit me in the head with an axe and I had to get 5 pieces of bone moved from my skull (no lie).
Still riding when I can though, they said I should never ride again, but I passed my test again in 2000 with zero faults, and put that web site together, just to prove them wrong.
Hi Les hope you get well enough to ride your bike again.
Have fun you lot.

It was the official policy of the Raving Monster Loony Party to set all accountants in concrete and use them as traffic bollards.
This was dropped on health and safety ground as the traditional plastic bollard is impact friendly, while accountants are not. There were also protests from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Concrete.
