My shoulder is quite fine thank you, it was my collarbone which has fixed itself, upgraded and gone twice as thick @D

I love crossers. KX250f is enough for me, tried the 450 too. Loads of fun and it has helped my road riding soooo much. If you ride on roads and haven't tried off road stuff before i absolutely recommend it. Addictive but slightly dangerous.

Road riding is completely dangerous compared to off road riding.
Case in point today I had a tyre valve fail on me whilst going round a corner doing 90 leptons.
Got a massive wobble on, but kept control and didn't touch brake or throttle.
Thought I was coming off TBH and probably would have been run over by the lorry I had just overtaken.
Tyre company I used failed to change the valve and it had perished and distorted, eventually failing.
I'll put some pics on when I'm not in work.

Get so much more of a buzz riding off road compared to on road.
Plus theres nothing more manly than getting roosted by stones and rubble the size of your fist coming at you at great velocity

It's a very good point you make. Riding off road - I used to have a Yamaha WRF 250 - teaches you to relax and makes you realise that the bike is capable of sorting itself out providing the monkey sitting on top doesn't try to interfere.
I did two BMW off road skills course which were (a) terrific fun and (b) very instructive.

Idiot - i hope he's prepared to have an example made of himself.
"He told Macclesfield Magistrates' Court: "I was in full control until I hit the fence. I drove into the fence to avoid a collision."
Hmmm ... you lost control when you took your eye off the prize and rode into the path of the car that you then had to smash the fence up to avoid.
