Ibuprofen is very good for joint issues and will not clash with your epilepsy medication. Do not overdo the dose don't be tempted to use Ibuprofen gel at the same time and make sure you eat, it can be tough on the tummy. Glad nothing to serious to report you may find hot baths will help the knee.

Nice? Birds of a feather flock together Mister Funky! You take it easy fella...

Took more photo's of the scoot just now as I wasn't sure I was looking well enough on Sunday Night... and spotted further damage... looks to me like £2500 if I were to do it myself, minus fittings, wrap, etc and work/inspection...

That's a tough list Funky! But glad you are feeling a bit better and there is nothing too serious for you and all of us to worry about. Time to put your feet up and have a beer if you are allowed to with your meds. If not, I'm prepared to have one for you!

Glad you are feeling better Funky ,thats the main thing . I am very surprised the solicitors arranging your physio etc have not arranged scans and the reason i say this is from personal experience .Xrays do not show up possible damage to your rotato cuff areas of your shoulders . There is not always an initially noticeable problem ,but if it does it can cause you really bad problems an pain to the point of pulling your hair out . They fixed mine with an op and hydrotherapy and i did get compensated but lost 3 years of my life to boot . The scoot will get written off at that price ,push them hard to find you a replacement or the higher amount of cash .Good luck

The scoot is going to be picked up tomorrow so I have taken off my favorite screen and put a standard one on just in case they decide 'the screen needs replacing' or in case it gets written off and I don't buy it back.

Now I have just remembered the Shad seat I have on it... I need to switch it back to standard... shame I can't bend down to do the exhaust as well...

EDIT: ...and brand new tyres with only a few hundred miles on... and a petrol tank full of fuel... and just Taxed and MOT'd!!!

By the way... My gear looks like it inccured no damage except the lid, but should pads and back protector be replaced?

I'd guess not, unless you can see some obvious impact damage. Its not like a crash helmet where impact absorption could well occur in the foam parts which you can't see.

Curses! I forgot you had a shad
I've just ordered a comfort seat for my mk4. I think yours would have fit.


I could have [vultures circling:icon:]
made you an offer !
