What year you talking?
I know this year's flying by, but no need for you Wellingtonians to get the years flying by faster.
I'm guessing you mean 2nd May????
:shit:Now you'll fix the heading and I'll look like a pratt.

I'll be there. Keen for some slip and slide.....

[quallman1234]

[saxet]

Yeah I can't remember the pin from last year.

[Skunk]

Gate code is in the Welly Buckets Social group - as soon as I post it there. It changes every time.

[richban]

Will be there. Just repacked me muffler and made a new airbox with a trumpet goes good and is no where near as loud.

[ajturbo]

[hmurphy]

Hey guys, cheers for yesterday. Just wondering how Andrew A is doing. Does anyone know if he is ok? I was really gutted to see him beat up like that, it definitely looked like he needed some space and a chance to chill. Glad he went and got seen to.

[F5 Dave]

That sux a lot. Get well soon mate.

[Trudes]

That's Stink Andrew! That was one impressive crash though, we thought you'd lost it, then you saved it, then you lost it, then you saved it, then you lost it, then you got back up and got back on and took off, then you were back in again all in the space of about 1 minute! pheww!
Heal well, take the drugs ;)

[Dutchee]

no alcohol for you Andrew. Take the drugs the doctors give you, do what they say, drink milk (yuck). It's a crappy but common break. Hope you don't need surgery.
oh, and sorry, just have to say, love your spelling of collar bone hehehe :)

[hmurphy]

Bugger man, get well soon. Hope to see you out on the track as soon as possible.

[Mudflaps]

Yeah that sucks about the break!! Is quiet amazing on the other hand that you even got got back up, let alone do more laps after that!! Wish we had a camera on you at the time cause like Trude said, you had it, lost it, had it then binned it. Looked good:yes:, bad ending. :shutup:

Does this mean Caleb won't be coming to the next few rounds either?!:shifty::innocent:

[ajturbo]

dam... worse crash we have had !!!

i only fell off twice yesterday....

[Kendog]

Sorry to hear that Andrew.
Hope the drugs are doing the business for you.

[all4A50s]

Hope you get well soon Andrew.

The results for the first two rounds can be found here (http://bucketracing.co.nz/results.php?pg=results).

[F5 Dave]

That's shit, I feel your pain. Most clavicle breaks do heal if the break is away from the shoulder in the middle. They will tell you to come back 6-8 weeks, but if not healed to come back in another 6 for another check. Most are ok by then so be positive. Buy some slip on shoes & stretchy shirts. slings vary in size, too small is murder. Those 'comfort' foam ones are useless at the start you need a full old fashioned sling (or a couple they need washing). Latter the foam strap ones are good.

Make a foam dodah for the back of your neck to stop it cutting in. Get a webbing strap from an old bag to use as a shower support sling. take it out of the sling at night & 3 times a day just to get some movement in the elbow carefully.

Oh yeah don't worry about that back protector Caleb borrowed till you're all back on deck at another round in future.

[andrew a]

Thanks Dave. It was good to talk to you ealier in the day. My enthuseasim has plumeted for mods on the bike. I'm looking for a good knitting club! I do hope its heals well so I will be able to work properly again. Thanks for the advise.

[TZ350]

When I broke mine, the better half got me onto all sorts of natural remidy suppliments, I am sure it helped.

[Trialing it]

You will not be able to pick up you big Ixion trials club trophy with one hand, might need to bring the trailer along this weekend then. Caleb got one as well for taking out Juniors. Hope that helps with the pain. See you around
