    Well the story goes this morning I decided to wash my riding pants...
    Was it going to stop me from going? Not for a second!!

    To cut a story short I now know how far I can push my new set of 606's
    on the road before they brake lose!:banghead:

    Is that Mercurochrome you have on your knee? It wasn't uncommon for me as a kid to have a patch of that somewhere on my body after a fall. Apparently not good for you now...
    Same thing happened to me; went for a ride on my Klx while my Draggin jeans were drying and dropped it onto some blue metal. Worse thing is that I had to ride on a long sandy track to get home.

    Nope I had just hopped off the bike it was 140km to get home, I got Dettol cream on it now
    ha ha I remember dad would use that purple spray for horses on me a lot!
    I think its the same stuff.
    blue metal and sand that's not a good mix!

    You knee has a bit of Husky Red. Glad the damage, both yours and the bikes, was minimal.
